Heirloom Kitchen Essentials





Ok, we are not going to list the basics you should already have in your kitchen like quality knives and pans! I mean if you are going to cook at all, we will assume you have this sort of thing covered. 

Here are our must haves that we couldn’t live without that you may not already possess: 
  • Toaster Oven – Great for reheating, toasting nuts and quick heating! We put our microwave in the basement and haven't touched it since getting a quality toaster oven. 
  • High Quality Blender – Endless uses, finally got a quality one and will never look back! Skip the “cheap China junk” (sorry China).
  • Air Popper  – I know popcorn are favorites with Jessica and Erin. With an air popper you can have healthy pop corn in minutes and season how you want! I know nutritional yeast had become a favorite seasoning all around.
  • Cast-Iron Skillet – Fantastic for baking, you grandma knew it was a good piece of equipment. Takes a little getting used to, but so much better for you than flaking non-stick in your food.
  • Garlic Press – Garlic and onions go with almost every cooked meal. Some argue the press isn’t as good as chopping, but come on as parents we are into save time wherever possible!
  • Salad Spinner – Having fresh lettuce and spinach are a must! COOKS HINT: Plus you can spin cut tomatoes to deseed very easily.
