I have all but a micro plane & chinois.

I have my dad’s old chef knife. It’s probably 50 years old, we keep it razor sharp.

I agree-GLASS mixing bowls!

Now all I need are your cooking skills & your talent!

Thanks for sharing. 😊

Thanks for this very helpful video on essential tools for the kitchen. My 5 children are all in their 30’s and building their kitchen tool collections. They all are great cooks and the 3 boys do most of the cooking for their families. Also, my goddaughter is newly engaged and will be needing to develop her kitchen essentials. This is great for giving family and friends ideas for shower and wedding gifts. 🤗

I didn’t realise this was 6 days ago. I appreciate your content. And as a cook this is the best list I’ve seen on YouTube for the home cook 👌🏽

I'm so proud to say that i have every single tool you mentioned EXCEPT the knife sharpener - my steel hone seems to suffice just fine. I threw my chinois away-too bulky for my small space. Enjoyed the tools video and enjoying your channel. ty. My very favorite peeler is by Kyocera used mainly for carrots. And you're right, tools last long time by hand washing and drying. I baby all my tools.

Thanks! A very helpful video for a novice home cook like me! I recently bought a good santoku knife and it was one of the best kitchen investment I made. Next is a grater. Haven’t decided if I want a plane or a box grater yet though. Small kitchen problem. 😂

I am so glad you mentioned the plastic storage containers. I got tired of trying to match lids with containers of all those cute containers about 3 years ago and went that route that you suggested to others. My only added cost was masking tape and a sharpie to mark what was in the container and date. Great for freezers too. My life became cheaper, simpler and now have more storage room. Love them.

Haven't watched yet but my must haves are a good knife, a digital scale, cast iron, and parchment paper.

14:16 unfortunately those storage containers just because they are BP’A’ free does not mean they are BP ‘B, ’ ‘F, ’ ‘M, ’ and/or ‘S’ Free. Once I learned that BPA free means almost nothing, I switched everything over to not plastic (where/when I could)

Great video! Very well explained and I love the high quality equipment you use where it counts! You just earned a sub!

[Mikyda]

You are the best. I love how you leave the bloopers in! Do you oil your wooden spoons as well?

[brianmeehan]

Love you channel and have made your recipes...my microplane french pin and bench scraper are my 3 game changers!!

[NinaNinaNB]

Billy! I love doing lots of kneading by hand, but hopefully one Christmas I'll get (myself) a kitchenaid 🙌Great tips, thanks. Hope you're fine and healthy 😊 I have 9 whiskers on my kitchen top, plus I have no idea how many more around the house.. started wondering if I'm obsessed lolol love your vids

The chinois can be cheaply replaced (and saves space, too) by those almond milk cheese cloths. Put it over a strainer and there you go.

[annakozoriz]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thank you so much! Very easy to find everything!

[charleyb]

Awesome-Pawsome! So happy to see you, and great information

[TedInATL]

4:00 I only use cast iron or stainless steel pans. *shows a carbon steel pan to illustrate*

[judithfleser]

THANKS!!!! I’ve had questions about what kind of cutting board I should get. I’ve been using a (not sure) nylon board that is all cut up. Makes me wonder where the little pieces have gone😕

[ghsliuy]

Gotta try the food mill and my list is complete ✔️

[jamesnewman]

Great list, I’ve got most of these. Btw you’re homemade pretzel recipe is fantastic! Thank you. Can’t wait to try your pizza dough recipe next.

[roller]

Great video, Chef!

Can't fault anything on this list!
