yourself and your loved ones happy. In today’s blog let us checkout some of the most essential
and popular kitchenware that should be a part of your dream kitchen.

Cooking Utensils:

Yes, first and foremost comes the utensils as an inevitable part of your dream kitchen. Any good
cook needs an array of utensils to cook different items; for example, the saucepans to boil milk
and water, tawa to make rotis, pots to make rice, small pans with handles for tempering and
many more.

Utensils can again be sub-divided depending on the metal from which it is made-


Stainless steel utensils are immensely popular in Indian households as these are highly conductive to heat and also can be cleaned easily.

• Non-stick woks are preferred for frying as the food do not stick at the bottom and are

easy to clean.

Flat bottomed utensils are used for induction cooktops and these come with a special metallic

bottom.

It is always suggested that you get a cooking utensil which has sturdy handles and preferably a
transparent lid.

Mixing bowls :

food in many households. Let us checkout some popular mixing bowls.

Glass bowls :

heating food. These are good looking and serves best as serving bowls.

Stainless steel bowls :

Glass is delicate and hence for rough uses like rinsing vegetables and

rising bread dough, steel bowls are preferred.

while the table spoons are used for measurement and the tea spoons for mixing items
(like sugar in tea and salt in curry). Though stainless steel spoons are commonly used,

Indian ladles are always at your assistance. Stainless steel ladles are majorly used for the high

durability; you have ample options to choose from shorter and longer handles.

are generally used to serve rice and make parathas, the smaller ones are used for scooping out

idlis from the idli-bowls, pulp of fruits and others.
