We recently bought a vacation home with a very small kitchen and are heading down to stay there for the first time in a few weeks. There aren’t a lot of great stores down there so I’d like bring an initial load of kitchen tools & supplies with us.
If you were starting from scratch what would you put in your kitchen? What are your essentials? |

Simple set of pots and pans
- non-stick frying pan - cast iron dutch oven can could be used as a skillet or a pot (Lodge makes a two piece set that is great - the lid doubles as a skillet) - a stock pot large enough to boil pasta coffee maker + filters silverware silicone spatula wood spatula large serving spoons can opener vegetable peeler cheese grater 3 good cutting boards - two large and one small colander- fine mesh so you can use it for lots of things set of nesting bowls with lots of sizes dishes - coffee mugs - small plates - large plates - bowls - glasses - I would probably do a bunch of simple squat glasses that can be used for everything from wine to water to cocktails to milk foil plastic wrap ziplocks Tupperware butter dish Knives - chef's knife - 2-3 small paring knives - serrated bread knife ice cube tray unless you have an ice maker dish towels sponges dish soap dishwasher detergent all purpose cleaning spray paper towels chip clips or rubber bands notepad pen roll of tape |

| Excellent list, and I would add some kind of cookie sheet, that you could use for making cookies, or making pizza |
