Tools to Outfit Your Kitchen Use this list to determine
what you may need or want to add in your kitchen. It can also come in handy
when choosing a gift for someone.
♦ Starter Kitchen
Tools marked with 1 diamond may be suitable for a single person or young
couple who is an occasional cook, or for a college apartment. They are
the basic tools that should probably be in every kitchen.
♦♦ Standard Kitchen
Add tools marked with 2 diamonds to the Starter Kitchen for a person or
family who likes to cook, and who cooks often.
♦♦♦ Well Stocked Kitchen
Add tools marked with 3 diamonds to the Standard Kitchen for the cook who
likes many varied recipes, and who loves to experiment with new recipes.
♦♦♦♦ Luxury & Specialty Kitchen
The Well Stocked Kitchen will add tools from this list with every new experimental
recipe. You will see collections of these tools in the kitchens of many
successful chefs. Any item marked with four diamonds would also be an excellent
gift for the aspiring chef in your life.
