things i use

Here’s a running list of my favourite kitchen tools and why I love them.

Dutch oven

One of my most used kitchen items - so key for soups, braising, stews, etc. Love that you can put it in the oven. I personally wasn’t in a place to invest $300 in a pot so I sought out a budget friendly option and love this lodge brand version. I’ve had mine for 4 years and love it still.

microplane

This tool I probably grab the most in the kitchen. I hate mincing garlic so this is my saviour - just grate the garlic with this and it’s basically the same! Also perfect for zesting citrus and grating parmesan cheese.

meat thermometer

If there is anything that will change how you cook in the kitchen it is a meat thermometer. Such a simple tool and you’ll always have perfectly cooked meat! $15 and you’ll never look back.
