Kitchen essentials - minimalist healthy cooking utensils

There are a few kitchen essentials that I use nearly every day. If you don't want to burn a bunch of money on cookware, this video will help you identify where it is most important for you to spend your money and where you can SAVE THE DINERO.

A little bit of effort goes a long way in saving you time, cost over the long haul, and staying healthy.

Here's a list of gear mentioned in the video.

POTS AND PANS

First, if you want to just be done with it, get a whole set of pots and pans. I've been very happy with the Cuisinart MCP-12N Multiclad Pro Stainless Steel Set. This will run you $300 USD at the time of writing.

If you really want minimum investment, you can get just the 3 pieces I showed in the video. At the time of writing, this will cost about $235 USD.

Then, don't splurge on a non-stick pan since they don't last very long.

CUTTING BOARDS

Avoid glass, marble, and even bamboo as then ruin or prematurely dull knives.

UTENSILS

SHEARS

KNIVES

Here's my beloved, which will last forever

Here's the lower cost, still high value option

Then make sure to get a drawer organizer or knife block to keep the knives from getting dull when not in use
