I need to stock my new kitchen with chopping implements and gadgets.

So forum I ask you.

What kitchen implements can't you live without, and what brands are your ride or dies?

Weird but forums are usually very helpful.

East Sussex

Coffee machine, sharp knives, hand held mixer.

If you're a basic cook like me the rest is superfluous

I can't live without my Sage Tea Maker.

They also do Coffee machines, if you're that way inclined.

I swear by my Sage coffee machine.

Global make great knives

Anything else is personal preference but a good set of knives is always a good start.

A good quality Katana is great for all your food cutting needs, I find

I did experiment with a Scottish Claymore once but inadvertently chopped my kitchen island in half….

My most useful kitchen item is a large cork board. It's where I pin my takeaway menus. And my quooker tap. No waiting for the kettle to boil.

Ikea 365 knives are surprisingly good.

I have a Bosch kettle where you can select temperatures between 70 and 100.

Breville edge toaster, it takes the bread vertically so ideal for big slices and is wide enough for teacakes with ease.

My knives are by Flint and Flame. Expensive but worth it. Sharp knives that do not easily lose their edge are a must.

I would add a good quality food processor to the list. Mine is a Magimix 4200, but you do not have to spend that much. Its big advantage is a small footprint, but there are plenty now that are similar. A food processor makes many chores that much easier. Especially cake making.

Lastly a small but useful blender.

"Neff hide and slide, self cleaning oven. "

I'm heavily pleased by my Bosch oven and microwaves. Very expensive but so versatile. This brand does not have hide and slide but it has a soft close oven door - it cannot slam. Mine is also pyrolytic self-cleaning but that function is energy hungry on any oven. Best to clean regularly to minimise the number of times it is used

Manchester-ish

Another vote for Global knives from me. We have 5 but I only really use the chef's, paring and cheese knives.

We have a Go Cook aluminium marble wok from Tesco which is excellent for the price, used at least once a week for years with no problems.

If you are heading to Ikea their solid aluminium ice cream scoop and silicon spatulas are really good and I use their baby food bowls for putting prepped veg etc in.

If you eat meat then a 'pressure king' pressure cooker is a nice to have as you can cook a stew in 30 minutes rather than hours.

If there's a 'garlic man' at Birmingham Christmas Markets, pick up a garlic plate. The plate is okay but the little rubber tube for peeling the garlic is brilliant.

Dick knives are good. (I’m not trying to make a joke there - Dick is genuinely a decent brand.) I have Dick scissors too and they’re great.

Dick Dick Dick.

You need a good quality chopping board as well. Butcher’s block, and heavy (so it stays still).

Maybe a cheap, compact sharpener too?

One good non-stick pan and one heavy cast iron one with a lid (so it can double up and do oven duty as well as hob).

If you are looking for a new microwave, try and get a flat bed one they are far superior to the turn table type, a lot easier to clean and no moving parts to go wrong.
