First Kitchen Essentials
Cookware Set
T-fal B209SI Initiatives Nonstick Inside and Out Dishwasher Safe Oven Safe Cookware Set
A good cookware set is an absolute must when it comes to setting up your first kitchen. You’ll need a pot and a pan even if you only want boiled/fried egg, macaroni and cheese, or chicken nuggets.
Bakeware Set
If you love making your own baked goods, or just prefer a good old sheet pan dinner, you’ll need a good bakeware set!
Springform Set
Wilton Springform Cake Pan Set, 3-Piece
When it comes to baking, I swear on springforms, because most of the time it’s so much easier to get a cake out of a springform pan, than a normal one.
Knife Set
I can’t even stress enough how important is to have the right knife set in the kitchen. Even if it comes to butter your bread, cut your vegetables or nicely slice your meat or fish, the right knife is essential!
Cutting Board Set
I find it very helpful when I have multiple and different sized cutting boars on hands when it comes to cooking. I don’t like to (and not hygienic at all) to cut my meat and vegetable on the same board, so I constantly have 2-3 cutting boards on hand when I prepare a meal.
Serving Tray
Even if you just love breakfast in bed, or you want to serve some fingerfood or appetizer on a party, a serving tray is a must!

Wooden Spoon Set

Funnel Set
Nopro Plastic Funnel, Set of 3
A simple, yet helpful tool for transferring liquids/dry ingredients from containers to bottles while keeping the kitchen counter free from spills, I mostly use these funnels to pour sugar to the container.
Apple Corer
If you love apple slices with homemade peanut butter as much as I do, you’ll find it really helpful too!
Pineapple Corer
![Pineapple Corer, [Upgraded, Reinforced, Thicker Blade] Newness Premium Pineapple Corer Remover, Stainless Steel Pineapple Core Remover Tool for Home & Kitchen with Sharp Blade for Diced Fruit Rings](https://annacandoit.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/41ajvP7O9RL._SL1002_340.png)

I find this grater easier to use than the box one. So I use this for citrus and cheese, while I use the box grater for carrots or other vegetables.
Oven Mitts
This one saved me from some serious burning, and they give you mitts for both hands! Also, it’s a great gift for Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Independence Day, or Christmas!

This is 100 times more expensive than necessary. I have had a kitchen for 50 years and most of these items are luxury goods not necessities
Hi Dee! Of course, you can buy these at dollar stores to save money! (I shared Amazon items because they ship internationally, so it’s more available to more people than a dollar store) But I honestly use most of these (or similar) items. I hope I can give some ideas to anyone who just about to set up their kitchen or anyone who wants to expand their kitchen tools. -Love, Anna
Hi, thank you for these, they are quite helpful because we will be moving in fall and someone has already indicated interest in our current place, not just the house but everything is included and so, we are just leaving with our clothes. You can imagine how happy I am with these items listed and amazon ship internationally is a plus.
Much love from Nigeria
