As many of us are spending a lot of time indoors at the moment, despite the lovely spring weather, we need something to keep us occupied. Cooking is the perfect activity, since it allows you to be creative while you provide for yourself and your family. If you have always dreamed of being a master chef, this is the time.
All craftsmen are dependent on good tools, and this is of course true also for chefs. The good news is that you can find everything you need at one single place online: kitchentime.com. Click the things you need, and they will be delivered to your house. To help you choose, we will list some of the most important tools and what you need to know when choosing.
Knives
Your best friend in the kitchen is a razor sharp knife. There is nothing more devastating for your soul than squashing tomatoes with a dull knife when all you want to do is slice it. So first of all, make sure to equip yourself with a high quality cooking knife that will stay sharp for a long time.
Your knife should be large enough to help you cut large and hard vegetables like cabbage, while still nimble enough to manoeuvre easily around the bone in a pork chop. If you are tall and have long arms you will most likely be able to handle a larger knife than if you are more of a petite person.
Last, but not least, go for a design that you like. Today, there are numerous designs when it comes to kitchen knives, so an important factor is of course that you like the look of your knife.
Cutting Boards
When you have settled on a knife, you could also look into updating your set of cutting boards. Plastic cutting boards in many colours with scratches from many years usage do not make a happy chef.
Wooden cutting boards are not only extremely comfortable to use, they are also nice to look at and can be placed as pieces of decoration when not used for cutting. Place your wooden cutting boards on your kitchen counter, and they will be ready to use while at the same time providing a nice atmosphere.
