hi I'm Marlon doll and this is bachelor
on a budget today we're talking
beginner's guide to kitchen cooking
tools utensils and gadgets let's do it
this video is for beginners who are just
stocking their kitchens or who want to
check out what I am using what I am
making most of my recipes so first up we
have a pot look at that a small pot and
a big pot we need both but all you need
is two one big one this is great for
like pasta and big stews I just made
some quinoa with this one or for sauces
and you want to look for one with a
thick bottom that's going to retain the
heat and a thin one will kind of mean
that it's a cheap hem so I got some
langostino ones here they're pretty good
quality and they're not too expensive
yep pot so pans okay so I got two here
this one is a nonstick wok and this is
also a nonstick pan largest inna
the reason I'd like to use big ones is
because I like to make a lot of food
with leftovers you can see most of my
recipes all of them for like 4 to 5
servings so I want to make enough that
they can actually fit in here so I can
have leftover steak to work I did have a
small nonstick pan but my roommate
cooked it too high and when you cook a
Teflon pan too high it kind of can
release some of the chemicals in there
and you don't want to do that and it
takes away the nonstick so don't leave
your Teflon pans on your heat for too
long otherwise you'll cook the crap out
of them these are great
I do recommend I just go with one of
these to start either a good walk you'll
probably see one of these more likely
but a good nonstick walk is awesome to
have as well I actually have a third
steel walk but we don't even talk about
that but they're awesome nice you really
only need two for most things you need a
paring knife it's for good for like
fruit or small veggies or taking skin
off and not your own skin and a good
chef's knife
this is essential just one good chef's
knife I believe this is Victoria Knox
but they make totally affordable blades
oh I'm lying this is Villeroy and Bosch
also a good knife but look up Victoria
Knox on Amazon I know they got some
great ones with tons and reviews
stirring stuff I highly recommend a
spatula this is great for getting out
your sauces or whatever you have in your
pan I was just using it for some quinoa
no scrapes and stuff out a flat one I
like to use a wooden one you can also
use a wooden spoon but this is great for
like eggs for scraping it out the
scrambled eggs but I use this for for
most things nice classic wooden but you
can go with plastic one as well maybe
not plastic but silicon a nice quiet I'm
filming what are these things called
again flippers spatula
one of these things yeah pick stuff up
and turn it over a ladle a ladle is
gonna be essential for getting at your
stews in your chilies or you can just
use a big spoon but kitchen essential
measuring cup I don't use a measuring
cup too often because now I have a good
eye for it but if you're a beginner and
you don't really know portions portion
sizes
I do recommend getting a measuring cup
and you'll you'll definitely need a
measuring cup if you're doing any baking
because baking is chemistry I'm not a
chemist yeah mr. white yes science we
need a strainer um whatever size
strainer you have bigger is gonna be
better because if you're washing a lot
of lettuce or something for next salad
you're gonna want something of decent
size and you need a strainer for
whatever you're watching vegetables so
strainer is pretty essential I do
recommend going with a bigger one I have
a smaller one as well that's great for
like washing like rice and stuff because
these have a bit bigger holes but
definitely go with a big one a mixing
bowl you need a mixing bowl
you get one bigger you know one smaller
but the size works for me there's just
one of the ones that I have but it does
the majority of jobs just a cheap white
plastic bowl I'll use this for whenever
I'm mixing in some like vegetables and
adding in sauces or whatever it's a
mixing bowl so lots of uses of course we
need a can opener not a switchblade um v
yeah can opener for making some hummus
or I need some tomato sauce open up
gotta have a good can opener and yeah
make sure it's a strong one gotta feel
good if it's really light it's probably
not the best one and we need a peeler um
this is really crappy one I don't
recommend getting something like this it
does the job I recommend going with just
like the basic
stainless steel ones they're awesome
okay and a slow-cooker now I haven't had
too many slow cooker recipes yet but I
do intend on doing a bunch because I do
love to use slow cooker but for some
reason I haven't moved just because it's
summertime but slow cookers are awesome
you can make so much in here you can
make nice roasts or great stews you just
can really toss everything in there add
your spices and your seasoning and it
just works so nicely you can come home
after a long day's work plop it in in
the morning and then when you come home
you got a great meal or just on a nice
Sunday Sunday morning you put the stuff
in by the evening you have an awesome
meal with lots of leftovers so great for
meal prep meal prep Sunday a good
cutting board I got a big thick wooden
one this will last me for years and it
can last you for years provided you took
care of it well about taking care of it
I mean putting a good like mineral oil
over it
that's cute from dry out and splitting
and don't get assignee obviously don't
put it in the dishwasher also a couple
of these plastic ones here these are
great for if you're cutting like onions
or meat and you don't want to have it on
your main cutting board I kind of do
everything on the wooden but these are
awesome if you have some chicken you
don't wanna get your chicken all over
your wooden one or just having an extra
around and that's all for the basics
hope you guys like this one just want to
keep it simple with what I use on
everyday basis but I think I'll also do
one with a bit more advanced stuff or
stuff that I don't use everyday but it
is still awesome to have and you can do
some cool stuff with so stay tuned for
