To cook a good dinner, you must have a comfortable and well-equipped kitchen. Personally, I think there are top 10 utilities to be found in the kitchen to make your life easier. In this article I will list them and show why I think they are very important.

1. A clean kitchen. You should always keep kitchen tables and tools clean after you finish cooking. This will make your next cookout much easier and will prevent bacteria and infection.

2. A large, sharp cutting knife. Any type as long as it is very sharp. I personally prefer the chef’s knife. It is suitable for chopping fruits and vegetables and is very effective for cutting meat, poultry or fish.

3. A large, flat cutting board, so you don’t have to cut your thumb. I prefer two, one for vegetables or fruit, the other for meat. You should wash, rinse and sanitize it immediately after you are done. Keeping it dirty for a long time increases the risk of contaminating food and could lead to food poisoning.

4. A large container that I call “waste container”, in which you can put all the waste from vegetables, fruits or meats without having to walk to the garbage every time. And after you’re done cooking, throw the contents of the bowl in the kitchen trash.

5. A good microwave, so you can reheat your ingredients if they get cold.

6. A good food processor, not necessarily an expensive one, to chop, grind and mix your ingredients. I prefer to use a two-cup food processor. One for the fruit and the other for anything else because fruit tends to have a bad odor when prepared in the same glass that was used for the onion or garlic.

7. A comfortable wooden or plastic chair. It is very important that you sit down while preparing the recipes so that your back does not hurt and you do not get tired. The chair must be high enough to reach the kitchen tables.

8. Lots of spices. Spices make food taste and smell delicious. But the very important thing about spices is that they lose their flavor over time. This is because they have volatile oils. So when you use spices they need to be freshly ground otherwise they won’t give any flavor.

9. A good stove with a high flame and a good oven that maintains its temperature for a long time. There is nothing more boring than a stove that has a low flame or can’t get up to high in a short time.

10. A dishwasher. It is very important to have something to wash your dishes and pots and sanitize them so that you can rest and relax after preparing your dinner.
In my opinion, these are the 10 most important kitchen tools that you must have. There could be more. It mainly depends on you.
