  1. I always have a spider in my kitchen! It often just hangs out in the corner eating bugs tho, not good for straining.

  2. See he said under rated, but the text says under $30, but because he said under rated, this list doesnt count to me.

  3. high-quality silicone tongs. i’d also say “good cast iron pan” but just because i’m a lucky fucker and got most of mine for less than $10 each; not everyone else is so fortunate. a good steel-bladed turner. paring knife. microplane, sure, but if i didn’t have one i could still get by with a cheap cowbell-style grater. many glass measuring cups; i use mine for mixing in as much as i use them for measuring.

  4. Potato masher. I use that thing way more than I expected to when I bought it. I'll probably use it to break up ground meat more than I use it to mash potatoes.

  5. A hard pass on the squeeze bottle for oil. Both plastic and lipids are electrically polar substances, which means they exchange molecules with each other easily. Given how much plastic we ingest (w/ unknown consequences) already, I'm not adding to that load. Only glass containers and metal measuring spoons for me where oil is concerned.

  6. 1- ss bowls
    2 – rugged silicone spatula
    3 – scale
    4 – thermometers
    5 – cheap and small ss pan
    6 – glass tuppers

  7. Get rid of the overly tiny whisks and the garlic press. Both solid, but replace them with a set of metal mixing bowls and a halfway decent cutting board. Or just some sturdy kitchen towels that double as pot holders.

  8. This may sound strange, but I used to use the back of my chef’s knife as a scraper … until I finally got a bench scraper.
