Here is a guide for outfitting your kitchen
Non-stick pans have a relatively short life and can release dangerous toxins when heated to high temperatures. Opt for stainless-steel coated pans instead. Metal baking pans will also last longer than silicone ones. For cooking utensils, steer away from plastics and choose wooden or metal ones.
Items : chef’s knife, paring knife, whisk, large stock pot, large skillet, wooden spoon, grater, vegetable peeler, meat thermometer, tongs, and mixing bowls.
Glass containers make it easy to see what’s inside and will help keep you tidy. Ceramic canisters store pantry essentials like sugar, flour, and pasta also help to keep your cabinets and counter tops well organized.
A pantry filled with the basics will help you use your new kitchen more often. Martha Stewart has an excellent kitchen pantry checklist.
Around the kitchen use natural cleaners. Method and Seventh Generation make green cleaners that are available at most markets. Avoid harsh chemicals and insecticides in the kitchen. Put dish soap and hand lotion in matching containers to give your kitchen a special touch.
If your city mandates recycling, dedicate bins for garbage, bottles and cans, and paper.
Coordinate rugs and dishtowels to complete your kitchen. Flea markets and garage sales are good places to look if you have a vintage aesthetic in mind. Larger retailers like Ikea and Target have a wide variety of textiles to choose from. Keeping your kitchen clean, organized, and fully-stocked with the basics will help you enjoy it for years to come!
