      we only own few kitchen items too. it prevents from piling up the sink with dishes!
      to choose one as my favorite, would be the muji silicone spoon. it didn't melt even after using it so many times for cooking and the edges are flexible to scoop everything.
      best for those who need alternative for wood cooking tools since it has to be proper maintained too. :)
      this is really nice video! more like this please. :D
      hmm, how about collection of eco-friendly things that worked for you? :)

      @@Everydaykaen I second the cast iron pan recommendation! I was initially intimidated by the maintenance involved, but the learning curve is actually pretty low and the performance keeps getting better over time! Especially if you’re concerned about product longevity, cast iron can last a lifetime with a little care ⭐️

    I am somewhere between wanting to be a minimalist and leave room for a lot of creativity and canning my own food, etc. I am recently moved from a big house to a small apartment and so I need to functionally downsize what I have to only what I truly use and make more sense of it.

    I bake so my stainless steel mixing bowls would be on my list. They're lightweight, easy to care for, and I've had them about 7 years already. I like a chef's knife and a bread knife. And my bread machine for bread, fruitloaf, and pizza dough - partly for time's sake and also because I'm terrible at kneading. I like our butcher's block rather than a lightweight chopping board, and have a favourite wooden spoon. I have a collection of 5 pans/pots (with lids) and some baking trays. My frying pan is carbon steel and easy to care for. Otherwise I prefer stainless steel because its easy to clean and lasts forever. Also a stick blender is better for me than a stand blender because I share a kitchen. Kitchenware is a bit of a weakness for me XD
