Kitchen Set-Up: A Printable list

Bare essentials:
(1) chef's knife (8-10 inches)
(2) Oven mitts (Make sure they will work for your hand size.)
(1) Serrated (bread knife)
(1) paring knife

(2) Rubber Spatulas (Heat Resistant)*
(1) Soup Ladle*
(1) Slotted Plastic Spoon*
(1) Spatula "flipper" (heat resistant)*
(1) Plastic spoon (pick one that resists stains and heat resistant)*
(1) Wooden spoon *

*When selecting your kitchen utensils, it's important to remember heat resistant is key when using them for cooking and not just mixing or baking. Also I would suggest picking darker colored utensils since they will resist stains.

Garlic press
Mesh Strainer
Stainless metal dry measuring cups
