If it's time to become an independent person, but no one told you that the kitchen doesn't equip itself and you don't know what to buy and what not to, here's a list of utensils that every person living alone should have to avoid rushing to buy anything that you won't use later. If you live alone, it doesn't matter whether you are good in the kitchen or not, you just need a few items and a good recipe book for everything to go well. For now, having basic utensils without filling yourself with unnecessary dishes is ideal for starting as a single person in the kitchen. Just a basic tip: when acquiring your kitchen utensils, make sure they are of good quality, as their lifespan will be longer.Frying pans. The size depends on the guests you usually have or how much food you prepare. To start, it is convenient to have one small and one medium. Remember to invest in high-quality non-stick pans.Cutlery. If you are someone who lives alone and usually doesn't eat at home, you might think, Why do I need this? We assure you that they will get you out of any jam. The basics you need are: a spoon, a small spoon, a fork, and a knife. Don't fill your drawer with cutlery that you will never use. If you plan to host guests frequently, get a set of cutlery for 6 or 8 people.Knife set. Whether you cook in large quantities or not, you will need a set of at least 4 types of knives for cutting different things. You will use them daily to chop everything from cucumbers to slicing bread or cutting meat. Blender. If you live alone, you will likely prepare small amounts of food, so a blender will help you make a complete breakfast with a shake or smoothie, for lunch, and even for an emergency dinner. THE BENEFITS OF HAVING A KIWILIMÓN BLENDERGrater. When you live alone, having a grater may seem very simple and goes unnoticed until you need it. The grater is a basic utensil for many meals. This kitchen utensil is essential if you like to prepare dishes with melted cheese, or some salads.Ladles. In your kitchen, you need two ladles: one wooden and one metal. The wooden one is a basic to avoid scratching non-stick pans and pots. Stainless steel ladles are ideal for mixing baked or grilled dishes.Pots and pans. To prepare pasta, stews, or any type of meat or vegetables steamed, you will need a pot. In this case, the same applies as with frying pans: the size of the pots and pans will depend on the amount of food you usually prepare.Cutting board. It is used daily in the kitchen to cut and chop all kinds of food. Use a medium-sized plastic board and remember to wash it very well to avoid food residues on the surface.Glasses and plates. Choose the most practical ones for your lifestyle. At first, it's not worth having glasses for water and wine. On the contrary, with plates, it's recommended to have various sizes depending on the food you plan to consume (soups, pasta, salads) and the number of people you may receive at home.Do you think there is another kitchen utensil that is essential?
