You do not need a drawer full of gadgets. These five tools cover everyday cooking in any kitchen.
- A good chef’s knife. Sharpen it often: a blunt knife slips and cuts badly.
- Spatula. Silicone or wood so it does not scratch your pans.
- Tongs. To turn meat without piercing it and to serve salads.
- Grater. Cheese, lemon zest, ginger… ideally with several sides.
- Whisk. To beat egg whites, emulsify sauces and mix batters without lumps.
Wash them by hand whenever you can: they last longer and keep their edge.
