what are your most used=must haves? here are mine.
- chef knife - german or japanese
- good end grain cutting board. i've had mine 40 years
- gas bbq with infrared burner. i know there will be some weber purist which i can totally relate. i want a wood burner which are expensive.
- instantpot or similar
- sous vide stick with proper container for the bath
- vacuum sealer
- the new anova precision oven. this thing is really amazing. i've been a chef for 40 years and it does the job of $30k commercial ovens
- stainless steel saute pans
- cast iron skillet.
- measuring tools, spoons, cups, scale
- and the most overlooked, imho, a substantial hood/exhaust. buy the most cfm's you can afford.

- A good knife/set of knives and a knife sharpener
- Kitchen scales
- Soup maker - this sounds so lazy, but I work from home and it's super convenient
- Slow cooker
also, I laughed at your comment about thumbs making your dog jealous. My cat is also jealous of my thumbs lol0 -
I dislike cooking, but I am trying to do more of it this year. My most used tools:
1. Scale and measuring cups/spoons
2. Slow cooker
3. Apple wedger/corer
4. Pyrex glass dishes for cooking and storing leftovers
5. Sharp knife and cutting board
6. Vegetable peeler
7. Nordicware baking sheet
My stove/oven doesn’t even have an exhaust hood. LOL!0 -
Thermomix
Anova sous vide
Tefal cook4me
Air fryer
I’ve been looking at the new Anova precision oven ........0 -
Something I love that I don't see mentioned is my fish spatula. It makes for neater, more intact fish.

I have no fancy tools like a sous vide or air fryer, but rely on my Cast iron pan, chef knife, and crock pot. And a micro planer/grater is a great tool for a small portion of grated cheese.0

All of the above are basically mine, especially the german/japanese knife, cutting board and measuring tools. I'd say a peeler and grater are really useful depending on the textures you want for a particular dish, a blender or stand mixer and a cast iron pot such as Le Creuset ones.
I need to look into buying nice stainless steel pans. Plus about time I buy a new oven, I'll look at the Anova one several of you mentioned!0 -
I swear by All-Clad copper core pans, Le Creuset dutch oven, large selection of Wustof knives, and my most recent favorite- Instant Pot.
Sadly, I don't seem to use either my kitchen aid stand mixer (for more than a decorative item) or my Anova sous vide. I nearly burned my house down with my 100 year old cast iron skillet- so she is only decoration now. What kinds of reasonably healthy recipes ya'll got for me to use those appliances?0 -
Just bought new cutting board, knife set and tongs!!!0
