Chef’s Knife
We use the J.A. Henckels Zwilling CLASSIC Chef’s Knife, 8 Inch. Midrange price, really good quality.
Hand Blender
We prefer this Mueller Immersion Hand Blender Set over a ‘classic’ food processor. More versatile and can do the same with the add-ons. Awesome to blend soup with!
10.25 Inch Pan
T-fal have good pans at a fair price. Good for pancakes and even wok dishes.
12 Inch Large Pan
This T-fal pan is big! Dave and Hauke love this one. Great for families or if you like to meal prep.
Stainless Steel Pot Set
This set is awesome because the pots are durable, not too heavy and you can chuck them in the dishwasher!
Silicone Spatula Set
We’re fans of silicone for kitchen tools! More heat resistant than plastic, doesn’t scratch surfaces, can be put into the dishwasher. Yay!
Bamboo Cutting Board
Hauke got one of these. Cheap, durable, looks nice, environmentally friendly, doesn’t absorb the smell more than plastic. Bam!
Silicone Muffin Cups
Simple, affordable, sturdy standard sized baking cups 🙂
Mixing Bowls
We use them for salads, obviously. Nice to have the lid for easy storing. Also good to make batter in!
Stainless Steel Grater
Simple grater for cheese, veggies and fruit. Don’t put it in the dishwasher. It’ll remain sharper for longer.
Vegetable Peeler
Solid and cheap peelers. We use them for carrots, pumpkins and all sorts of veggies.
Retro Toaster
Lovely looking toaster at a fair price. Nothing outrageously big, beginner friendly 🙂
Ninja Blender
This thing will go through ice cubes and anything else that you chuck into that cup. But be prepared for a little noise.
Ninja Food Processor
If the Braun Immersion Blender Set (see above) is just too small for you, then this set is the next bigger option. It’s a powerhouse!
Instant Pot
It saves a lot of time cooking things like rice, but also allows you to buy dried versions of things like legumes to cook easily at home. Create full meals easily!
Stainless Steel Garlic Press
This is a good garlic press that won’t break after using it 3 times. They are a real timer-saver!
Stainless Steel Cooking Spoon
Nothing special about this one. We like that it’s stainless steel and not plastic. it works 🙂
T-fal Wok
We’re fans of T-fal pans. If you regularly prep wok-dishes, this is the right pan for you. Fair price, good quality.
Parchment Paper
Good quality parchment paper. usually the free length roll is cheaper than the pre-cut sheets.
Silicone Baking Brush
We’re fans of silicone brushes! Heat resistant, dishwasher safe and they work as well as any other brush.
Standard Size Muffin Pan
A must-have for muffin lovers. Non-stick is helpful, but don’t chuck into the dishwasher if you want this to last!
Loaf Pan
Essential in my opinion, because I use it to bake Banana Bread every second week.
9-Inch Whisk
For those moments when you want to get lumps out of the batter and don’t want to use a hand mixer. In my case: always.
Mason Jars
We use them first and foremost for overnight oats. Stylish, but admittedly not cheap.
Baking Sheet
Very solid aluminum baking sheets, standard sized. Nordic Ware has many sizes. Have a look what fits to your oven.
Classic Wood Rolling Pin
You don’t need a rolling pin often, but you’ll need it – latest in December.
Cuisinart Hand Mixer
Reasonably priced hand mixer. If you love baking getting one like this is deffo recommendable.
Aluminum Foil
Good to cover casseroles and other oven dishes with. This foil is good, but any other will do as well.
Glass Baking Dish
In our opinion a must-have for casseroles, lasagnas and all those sorts of things.
Mesh Strainer (Sieve)
Very useful and very affordable. In our opinion a must have to strain your canned chickpeas or fluff up some flour.
Potato Masher
You can use a fork, but life is much easier with a proper potato masher. Even better, when it’s sturdy and dishwasher safe!
Veggie Spiral Slicer
Serve up your favorite vegetable as a delicious carb-free pasta.
Pie Pan
Simple yet helpful kitchen equipment for baking. Think quiche, apple pie or use it just as a simple salad bowl.
Apple Corer
Great for apple, pears and more.
Round Cake Pan
Good quality, easy to clean and durable. Make sure to grease or add parchment paper thought.
Citrus Press
Definitely a ‘nice-to-have’ tool, but it get’s the job done much more quickly than your hands.
Stainless Steel Cheese Slicer
Suitable for grating semi-hard and hard cheese, citrus fruits, carrots and other hard vegetables.
Mandoline Slicer
Versatile and easy to use. Ideal for making perfect scalloped potatoes.
Liquid Measuring Cup
Very helpful. I have mean in use all the time. Just don’t pour boiling water into it.
Serving Tongs
For some people the most important kitchen tool to have. I like them too eg. for spaghetti.

Robust and big enough to chuck in a load of potatoes or pasta. The price is fair too, can’t go wrong with this one.
