1. Rubber Spatula- I got this same exact one at Kohl’s. It’s essential for scraping batter in a bowl, mixing, and is heat resistant.
2. Parchment paper can be used for both baking and cooking. I use it on cookie sheets, in cake pans, and cooking fish in the “en papillote” folded pouch style. You can also wrap cheese in it when storing in the refrigerator.
3. A digital scale comes in handy when measuring ingredient for baking. I love that you get the exact measurement when using it. Also can be used when weighting meats, poultry, and fish.
4. Vinyl disposable glove. I love these and use them when handling raw meats. That way I do not have to wash my hands a million times. Also useful when tossing salad and mashing up ingredients together.
5. Pyrex liquid measuring cup. Easy to use for recipes that require fl. oz. measurement. Not for dry ingredients.
6. Micro plane Grater- I use mine all the time. Easy to use for cheeses, garlic, and nutmeg. Very useful tool to have around.
7. Chef Knife- this is one tool I would spend a little money on. A good sharp knife is essential to any cook. It makes the work load easier and you have less chance of cutting yourself as opposed to using a dull knife, where you have to use more of an effort. This is the exact chef’s knife I have and used in culinary school. http://www.zwilling.com/en/home.html
8. Fish spatula- This is Rachael Ray’s fish turner. I not only use it for fish, but any delicate items that need turning or removal from the pan. I also use it for baking, when I’m taking cookies off of a baking sheet or a piece of cake out of the pan.
9. Dough scraper. This can be used not only for baking, but in cooking as well. A useful tool when transferring ingredient to a pan, such at chopped vegetables or herbs.
