easy and Affordable Kitchen Tools for Healthy Cooking

I do a fair bit of cooking demos and I'm glad to tell I don't bring a lot of fancy health-cooking gizmos along. Just some simple, affordable basics. It's best to pin once natural materials- wood, bamboo, glass and ceramic/stone. Not only are they more natural and risk less contamination to your foods, but they lend more natural beauty to your kitchen as well.

So what are some of the valuable wholesome eating kitchen tools that I recommend, that most anyone can afford? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6JGGCNnOG0&feature=youtu.be

Wooden or bamboo biting boards- avoid plastic and synthetics. I past having a little board designated for onions and garlic, and a larger board for fruits and veggies. Alternatively you could mark one side of a board for onions/garlic and the additional side for fruits/veggies.

Bamboo cooking utensils- quite inexpensive, easy to tidy and as a result handsome in the kitchen!

A large chef's knife- good for caustic onions and large fruits and veggies. Mine isn't whatever fancy- just from a department store. most likely a $75.00 knife is worth it, but I just can't bring myself to create the investment to find out.

Smaller serrated and paring knifes- for sour fruit and veggies

Vegetable peeler- theOXO brand peeler is great.

A garlic press- I love my Pampered chef garlic press.

Glass or ceramic mixing bowls- don't interact like the ingredients in the bowl.

Glass measuring pitchers- a 2 mug and a 4 cup. These are in point of fact to hand for measuring ingredients, for measuring water and to use later mixing stirring little amounts of ingredients or the wet ingredients for a recipe.

Measuring cups and spoons- in general, I don't taking into consideration any fancy measuring tools- especially not the compliant measuring cups and spoons. They might be understandable to use, but can be horrible to clean. I save two sets of measuring cups lead two to three sets of measuring spoons in surgically remove little bins in a drawer at my island (where I get most of my food prep). I throw the "1/2 Tbsp." measures (they take on taking place reveal and are used suitably infrequently).

Glass canning jars (1/2 pint for drinking, pint for drinking and storage and quart-size for storage and sprouting)

Spoonula- thus easily reached for mixing and scraping. This is the by yourself silicone tool I use (I'll probably persuade myself out of using it soon).

Salad spinner- a little pricier purchase, but entirely worth it if you're going to be preparing salads regularly. I suggest the OXO brand.

Baking stones- a tiny bit of a splurge here. These are not the cheapest items, but are a wholesome complement to your kitchen and permit for easy clean-up. Check online and at yardsales for good buys upon these.

And, last but not least, one of my favorites: the push-up measuring cup! This is great for oily or sticky ingredients (nut butters, coconut oil, honey, molasses, etc.). You comprehensibly pull the inner cup all along to the marking for the amount you desire, accumulate the on the other hand messy ingredient and later shove the inner liner from the bottom. No scooping and scraping out of a established cup. Also, you can continue to reuse it for more messy ingredients in the thesame recipe without washing. And it cleans occurring easily in the dishwasher.
