These come in both fabric and silicone these days, but I like the fabric ones. I have several sizes, from 12 inches down to 6 inches. I highly recommend getting a metal whisk over a plastic one - the plastic ones are too bendy and have a hard time breaking up clumps and stirring as efficiently. You can go with stainless steel or nonstick here - I'd recommend nonstick if you're a beginner.
We recommend having a few cutting boards, like this set of plastic cutting boards, to prep various ingredients and prevent cross-contamination. Plastic boards can be placed in the dishwasher for full disinfecting. How many times have you had to clean your oven top and cupboards from splattering grease and oil?

This large pot is perfect for cooking pasta, large dishes, or even for making your own broth. It is dishwasher and oven safe and was designed with simple pouring in mind. Pick up this "steal of a deal" pot and relax knowing you purchased a high-quality item at a fantastic price.

These utensils are used for eating, stirring, serving, whisking, slicing, chopping, grating, and peeling.
While your teapot of choice doesn’t have to be short and stout, it sure does help that it has a handle and a spout. When the dishwasher or sink is full, they make great stand-in glasses, and they’re perfect for concocting quick and easy mug cakes. They also work as makeshift mixing bowls if sticking to small portions like salad dressings or scrambled eggs for one. If you’re opting for a stainless steel set, go gentle on the dishwasher detergent; too much can cause silverware to rust.
If you have good knives and use them often, it's worth investing in this electric knife sharpener, which reliably adds a sharp edge to any knife .

Slotted spoons are good for lifting food out of a hot liquid. Turners are used to lift or remove food from a baking pan or sheet or for turning food that is being cooked. Small size slow cookers are good when cooking for 2 people.
