The only utensil that I would argue is essential, that you don't have, is a pair of tongs.
At least they have chopsticks.
I've never owned tongs and was surprised when house sharing that all my housemates did. I don't eat meat so maybe that's why? Is there another use for them?

That's makes sense, I rarely eat salad and I've always thought salad spoons were the go but I can see tongs working.
Matt D'Avella - UK Edition! :)
Sooo true
🤣
Yesssss
He says the non-stick pan is great for searing food, but searing requires high heat, and non-stick pans coatings are not stable at high temperatures required for that kind of cooking. This can damage the coating but also leech of chemicals. The product in the link itself says these particular pans are safe up to 260C which will be safe for most oven cooking but probably not broiling. But for searing something like a steak, it will be hotter than that and damage the coating. So it isn't good for all types of cooking. Also, detachable handles may be convenient, but I've also if it becomes loose or something it becomes a major hazard if you're moving hot food and it lets go. Personally, I wouldn't trust the detachable handles. As someone else mentioned, stacking them is also a no-no unless you put something like parchment paper between.
As for knives, good points made, 3 is really all anyway needs unless you're regularly filleting fish or something specialized.
Cutting boards, acacia is one of the best wood options available, and as someone else mentioned, it's better to use a different type of oil for maintaining it. Some would argue you should have a plastic board for meat since wooden boards are difficult to sterilize, and plastic boards can be fully sanitized and cleaned without damaging them, and can be disposed of when they get to rough shape.
I like the bowl/strainer set, it's a really nice and functional set. However, since it's a sort of plastic, depending on your type of cooking, you can't use it over a bain-marie if you want to make something like a hollandaise sauce, which is why I like some glass & metal bowls.
Very cool nesting utensils set, but like the pans, if you do high heat cooking, they could melt on you (I have had this happen with similar types of utensils). I'd instead recommend silicone utensils as they are higher heat resistant, and I've found them easier to clean as they are non-stick themselves. You can get sets for a reasonable price on amazon that come with a storage jar which would have a similar footprint in your kitchen.
I have cristel cookware which uses a different mechanism for the detachable handles. I have no real concern that they'll fail on me although I guess I'm a bit less confident about actually holding a large vessel by a long handle and shaking it about. Anyway, the highest quality line is indeed very good quality, the lower-quality lines are less so, obv. But this stuff is expensive (made in france)... I bought my set on ebay so it was highly discounted (probably a store display model or something). Replaced my otherwise-similarly-constructed cuisinart multiclad pro.
I keep some corningware pyroceram around, too. It'll break if you drop it but it won't shatter from thermoshock, and some of these also have detachable handles.
Yeah cast iron are best for high temp dishes.
i would never use teflon. first, toxic. nuff said. second, they dont last. third, for something that is toxic and doesnt last, why does it cost that much. i have a steel skillet now, for the past 3 years, i can use metal, wood, plastic utensils on it, no problem and it looks like it will last another 10 years.
that is honestly a HUGE weight off my shoulders knowing there is one less thing that needs replacing.
Wooden boards are as porous as the plastic ones so they carry the same amount of bacteria, and you can easily sand them off if they get too damaged. Plus, you can sterilize them by spraying 1 part white vinegar and 3 parts water. Plus, you can easily get rid of odors by sprinkling salt and rubbing with half of a lemon. And if you are still determined to toss one in the garbage, they are compostable. Best boards to use, by far.
When it comes to pans, I absolutely love stainless steel. I've had cast iron (super heavy), Teflon (toxic) and ceramic (doesn't stand high temperature). Stainless steel is incredibly durable and easy to handle and clean 😊
My mother, as much as I love her, is a bit of a hoarder. Her family grew up really, really poor, and she has a habit of not throwing things away/donating them when she can. I finally convinced her to let me reorganise her kitchen, and this video gave me a perfect idea on how to consolidate. Thank you for this!
Haha wow, it's as if I could have written this comment. This is 100% me and my mom. Cheers!
How did the decluttering go? I tried this with my dad (packrat/hoarder/depression era child), and there was pushback EVERY SINGLE STEP OF THE WAY! I finally gave up (I cared for him for 13 yrs…very stressful for me).
Sounds like we have the same mum
My mom and stepdad have so much clutter that there is barely any counter space. Cleaning that kitchen takes three times longer than cleaning my kitchen. It’s so frustrating cleaning my mom’s kitchen!
I finally decided to make this year the year I move out. My current home with my family is extremely cluttered as everyone else hoards. I want my space to feel light and organized. Every item you listed, I see myself buying. They are so ingenius and I assume they'll last for years, so it would be worth the investment. Thanks so much for this video!
K M hey! I hope everything is well for you and you’re still able to work towards your goals this year
@@myraann2003 weeeellllll.....I had my mind deadset on moving out by May so I'll have my own space by my birthday in June, but that's not gonna happen now with the lockdown 😅 Not sure when this will end either, but its given me a chance to work on second incomes and such for when it does happen. Maybe by end of year but I don't want to set a date until we're in the clear.
@@kamekomiyamora I feel you! I wanted my house build to be ready for my May birthday but here I am stuck at home too 😔 and in the most cluttered hoarders' house too!! It's such a stifling feeling isn't it
@@sineadoconnell1791 😭😭😭 it is. The only "space" I have is my bed and a small desk right by the closet. It not only feels congested, but there's a lot of interests I can't pursue until I have space, like sewing or starting a CZcams channel 😢 Will you have to wait til this ends too?
best materials for your kitchen. Stainless steel and cast iron for pots and pans(mixing, baking, straining etc just in case you need to heat or chill something during prep) and eating utensils; wood and silicone for cooking utensils and chip resistant glassware for dishes and drinking vessels. Invest in attractive, functional, durable items and you will never have to spend for them again.
Ask yourself before you buy,
Do I need this?
How often will I use it?
Is there something else I can use instead?
Save yourself the one hundred and one varieties of the same item that creates a maddening clutter you can never seem to get rid of. Not to mention the hundreds of dollars wasted on things you only end up using once or twice that take up space in your kitchen........ and other places in your house.....😒 experience talking.
Wise advice regarding your Tefal equipement : use a paper towel between each one of them when stacking. It prevents from any damage as their surface remains fragile.
We a
The surface will be fine, not like a minimalist will have alot of paper towels to use anyways
I'm Italian. Cooking means a lot for us and I have to say this setup isn't lacking anything essential. I can really see it covering 95% of my needs while taking about 30% of the space.
You're just missing a moka and you're golden 😉
the honing rod doesnt actually sharpen the blade. it just straightens the edge to make it more effective. you will need another tool if you want to actually sharpen the knifes
he never said it sharpens the blade, but that it keeps them sharp.
Exactly, to me the knife sharpener is nearly as useful as the knives themselves
Get a stone and learn how to use it. I bought a hand held which says can be used on serrated knives. Wrecked it and I refuse to use it on my expensive knives now
Wet stone and honing rod 👍
Kenwood IS fairly high end isn't it? Nutribullet and the like are just diet fad products so demand ludicrous prices
Never stack non stick pans unless you use something in between, like paper plates or dish rags, to keep them from getting scratched or chipped. It'll prolong the coating and life of the pan. And you do have to worry about it getting into your food.
And he said they use the non-stick pans in the oven. 😱
@@SiopaoSauc3 And it seems they only use non stick pans. Also, they aren't very good pans. I have used them.
@@ricoatthebeach really ?? What are the best please? I was thinking of buying that set
@@yerinlee211
There are a lot of good quality non stick brands. Volrath is great but kind of pricey. I have found that I only need two non stick pans that I use primarily for eggs or sometimes crepes. 7 inch and 10 inch or thereabouts. I prefer a stainless outer body with a high quality non stick interior and riveted handles there are other styles that work. The most important thing is the quality of the interior. Cuisinart makes a good one for less than 20 bucks at Home Depot. If you have a local restaurant supply store they usually have two packs of good commercial quality pans fairly cheap. Restaurant supply is also a good place to find a lot of great kitchen stuff you may not even know you need. Also, check out Ross. I have found some amazing deals on really high quality cookware in there. For regular cooking look for 18/10 or better stainless with an aluminum core and riveted handles.
@@ricoatthebeach thank u so muchhhg
After watching this video I went and de cluttered my kitchen. It's unbelievable how much stuff I kept hold on to and never used. Thank you for the inspiration. I had to subscribe straight away. Keep up with this amazing content 👍👍
I absolutely LOVE the pans and saucepans with the removable handles. That is brilliant.
I love it. Visual and clean aesthetic, but clear and straightforward, with easy to apply tips.
Great video! I will look for those pans with the detachable handle. As a woodworker I would just add on suggestion. On the cutting boards or any wooden surface that comes in contact with food (I make wooden bowls), I would suggest using food-safe mineral oil. Food-safe means it is not an industrial oil that may have contaminates. Also, some oils like olive oil can become rancid over time. Mineral oil will not spoil. Not that big a deal because usually even if oil becomes rancid, not enough oil will get into food to make you sick, and cooking kills any bacteria. But, to be on the safe side it is best to use mineral oil.
thank you for the information :)
I love how this video gets critised for owning to much stuff to be called a minimalist and for missing "essential" itrms at the same time smh. Also minimalism is not a competition. Its about only owning the stuff you need. I don't drink coffee so I don't own a coffee maker. Does that mean I say people that do aren't minimalists?
Some people are happy owning as little as 30 things. I also reevaluate what I need and declutter from time to time, but I will never match those 30 things. Yet I'm still a minimalist.
Exactly - you are a minimalist if you do not have extra, doubles, and stuff you don't use or worse don't even know you own and are in debt financially.
He isn't a minimalist tho come on. My not minimalist friends has this many stuff
This it's a normal amount at best. Not minimalist
@@mustardroshi418 maybe he's just a minimalist who values cooking, I mean I've seen minimalists who has literal walls of bookshelves and books. Could they just use a kindle? Yeah, but that doesnt have the same experience. If that's something that genuinely makes them happy and they deem necessary then it can still be minimalistic, minimalist just means cutting the crap out you don't need or that don't serve a purpose. You may not NEED physical books but if they make you happy they serve a purpose in your home. You may not NEED all these items but if they make your life easy and they are getting a lot of use or even just make you happy them that's still minimalism
Well done! I'm just embarking on a design for a tiny house and your video has given me a few good ideas to explore for the kitchen space.
Just watched your videos. Best channel I’ve seen in a while. Great potential in the current youtube climate and nice breath of fresh air to have someone British making minimalism and lifestyle videos! I don’t think I know any other Uk CZcamsrs doing this kind of video. I’m sure your channel will explode in the next year if you keep up this quality of work. Can’t wait for new videos
The content and quality of your video is classy and exquisite.
I aspire to have a kitchen like this 😍 No clutter, pleasing to look and to get inside! Beautiful!
Thank you, Daniel. This is going to be incredibly useful to me because I moved into a tiny home (just a home that is tiny, not a tiny house) not that long ago, and everything has to justify its own place or it can't stay. I've never had to do that before so I'm decluttering like mad and will be replacing my bigger, heavier things with smaller, lighter things. I'm happy about it but I can't deny it has some challenges. Your channel offers so much value for people in my situation and I'm grateful.
Thank you for the video! I found the video to be very informative and inspiring! I love how you showed what things worked for you and even explaining how the tools in the kitchen vary from person to person because it’s true. I also loved how organized your apartment is. And I love those TeFal pans as well! I have those and it’s been such a breeze to be cooking with them, they are easy to clean and store. I also really liked how you even mentioned that you aren’t a huge cook yourself so the tool you found works for you. As a baker and cook myself, I did find I may need a few things to be switched around but the whole minimalistic idea is very comforting. Having a clutter free home must be relaxing and productive. Very inspired by your video and I’m thinking to reorganize my place too! Can’t wait to see more!
Now that we sold all our belongings and moved to a new country this video is priceless, gives great suggestions to buy new and logical items for the kitchen.
Your videos are so straight forward! You just go straight to the point, which is so amazing!!
I loved this video, as I'm going to be moving away for uni I won't have a lot of space so this was helpful, however to anyone reading, I really do recommend you get a cast iron skillet especially since most Teflon pans can't withstand high temperatures in the oven and one other wok type pan is enough. Ive also bought a silicon spatula and ladle set because you can leave these in the pan whilst you cook without the fear of burning them like plastic ones.
Thanks for sharing! I've been looking into tips for my college apartment, and so far this is one of the better videos ice found for kitchen utensils
Love how thoughtful your purchases are! (especially love the wine tumblers and nesting bowls)
This is fantastic. I was trying to figure out the best combination of words to search for to get to some type of minimalist kitchen essentials guide and you nailed it.
The Joseph and Joseph stuff is so perfect makes my mouth water. I need these in my life!
I love this so aesthetically pleasing and something ive wanted for a long time... a full listing of kitchen utensils for a minimalist.
Wow! I really like this video! I am moving to a new place with a small kitchen and this will help me take out the unnecessary stuff. Thank you!
Great advice and thank you for your effort Daniel. Looking forward to seeing more.
this is the most aesthetic yet functional kitchen haul i've ever seen, thank you so much!
Great video! Straight to the point and simple. Looking forward to more of these!
I love the stacking items. So clever.
i have a large flat-bottomed wok that i use for literally everything a pot or frying pan can do. the most versatile and best kitchen item i’ve ever bought
The pans with handles you can take off could also make great cake tins for baking!
This is so helpful!! My boyfriend and I are about to move into a new flat that doesn’t have much storage space in the kitchen, I’m definitely going to steal some of your ideas! Thank you & the vid was so well put together!
This.is.the.video
I've been searching for this... for about a year now. Thank you so so much for this!
Every detail is so well thought out, particularly loved the nesting pans and utensils and will be implementing a lot of the lessons here when I move out. Thanks so much for this!
I absolutely adore your videos, amazing job!
Thank you for this video! I recently bought the Tefal pot set and I love them! They save so much space
Fabulous. Wonderfully presented and filmed.
I have 4 pans, 1 cutting board, and too much cabinet space. I did not think I had room for a washing machine until I watched this. Thank you so much!
That pan set is so cool! Thanks for sharing these tips!
I have tried to downsize our kitchen and went through it a few months ago but this leads me to believe I was not nearly brutal enough with my purge. I will be doing this again this weekend to see if I can get rid of more items. I don't use some of it except one time per year so that will have to be the items I might store in my hall closet to free up valuable space in my kitchen.
I love everything about this video. No matter how hard I try, my videos will never be this elegant. Well done!
Love your channel! You must make more videos like this! I need more of your tips in my life !!
Excellent presentation. Plus great speaking voice. Keep the videos coming. Love them.
this video is so satisfying. you have a lovely home.
Letss gohhh! I liked the vid and it went to 5k. PS I really like the way this vid came out helped a lot of people get a more sense of what minimalism is like with out sacrifice
Genius video! I dont have a micro kitchen but I am still taking notes on the products mentioned! Thank you!
Wonderful tips! Kitchen often feels cluttered no matter its size. These tips come handy of course for small spaces but also for an open kitchen space towards the living room. Enjoyed watching 🙏🏻
Great video! It's very informative and it's well shot and edited. Good job 👍
Amazing tips, loved it!!
I am glad you did what you could with the space
Daniel,continue uploading such high quality vids like these and you will grow fastly,ykutuve is in desperate need to dych neat and calming videos.Keep up.
Thanks Aymen! Hoping to keep it up in the new year! Thanks for your support 🙌
man this guy always save me with some kind of storage idea to make everything more organize. Thanks
i'm in love with your space
Good job!!
ngl I've seen thousands of videos on homes/minimal living/organisation/aesthetic appeal but this is one of the best if not THE BEST.
- its so subtly educational
- utensil selection by purpose is on point
- you're next Matt D'avella (sorry, you're you. but you get the point)
- such intentional living is an inspiration
- videography is so pleasing ( I usually watch every video at a fast pace to save time/learn more/soak in essentials) but yours I literally watch at 1x
- love how you say Titchener
I wish you the best and eagerly waiting for next videos, a new happy subscriber :)
Loved your selection of essentials and very pleased that you added the links to the sets! 🙏 Thanks for giving precise information without long schmoozing sessions! 😅
I was looking for these kind of kitchen arrangements...thank you for posting this video..
Nesting bowls were a really great idea! We have a very small kitchen and every inch counts. Thanks for the insight!
So amazing! I love your kitchen
Just watching this video was so soothing. Also taught me a lot! Thank you.
Your ability of making videos is fabulous , i can't believe that when i pressed the subscribe button , their was no one and now u have over a thousand , congrats .
And seriously those pan's are amazing , i had no idea they exist.
Thanks Marwa! I really appreciate it! Stay tuned for more :)
OH MY GOODNESS I’ve I been looking for a video such as this! Thanks you! 🙏🏾
Short and complete video. This is very helpful.
I love your kitchen so much 🤩
It's officially my dream kitchen 😍
Love this! Shot beautifully too
Greatest vid i have seen on you tube to date. Thank you!
I NEED THOSE STACKABLE PANS AND BOWLS!!! 😍😍😍
Also, your voice is so soothing!
i think that's the best and most effective video about kitchen essentials
For years this is the ONLY video I have been coming back to this video whenever I feel I have gone off track with hoarding. for me its like therapy.
This video was incredibly satisfying.
Glad I stumbled across this particular video about minimalist ✌🏼
New Subscriber here I love that you keep this video short and simple 😍😍😍
This is perfect! Very helpful!
This is perfect! I personally hope to move out on my own for the first time in the future. I don't want a cluttered kitchen. You provide good advice; I may subscribe to you!
Loved ur video and the way you started it. Best wishes for the channel. Way to go 🙂
This video is exactly what I needed. Recently downsized from a suburban 2 floor 2 bed 1 and half bath town-home to a 2 bedroom basement apartment in the city and it has been a nightmare. We are coming from merging from 2 households into 1 and there is a hodgepodge of everything and nothing has seems to have order. I had no clue where to start. Infinite thanks!
Oh thank you! Thank you so so much! Your video is just what I needed.
Your Channel and Content is Minimal :) Hope you post more often. I love this. I've been a minimalist for almost a year now and I've never been happy and satisfied.
The gadget lineup was so pleasing! I think you are missing a grater though. I use mine constantly.
For real this video was so helpful thank you. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing your good ideas.
Love the video! Very underrated indeed. Been trying to downsize my kitchen essentials as well!
Great to see another guy in the minimalism CZcams landscape (and here in the big smoke). I appreciate the humble almost-anonymous editing that puts the content at the front over the creator (while still giving yourself enough credit). The 8 system is on point!
Keep up the good work Daniel 👏
Needed this in my life...Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing this... Its help me a lot for my new tiny home 👍
i really loved the way you make your videos. minimalism is the best style for everything whicj is not including art
New subscriber! Woo! Loved your kitchen minimalist video , your voice is calming and your video is interesting . Keep up the the great videos! 👏😁
Wow!!! Your Kitchen is so nice and organized!!!
Really nice ideas! Amazing job my friend...
Keep going! More videos please! ;)
Hey Daniel... I'm a new fan... I'm glad you mentioned where you purchased the products so I'll check them out... Also in reading other's comments they seemed to offer some viable alternatives (i.e. plastic board for meat cutting instead, and a pair of tongs for salad, and perhaps include 1 cast iron in the collection, etc.) of what you mentioned but I'm definitely downloading yours for reference as I make plans on how I'm going to organize a small kitchen that I'm moving to soon.
Fantastic video 😊 Thank you for taking the time and effort to make this video 😊, very much appreciated, Merry Christmas 🌲 Warm Regards Fiona, Sydney Australia.
I have a similar magnetic utensil set and I love it - prefer the colour of yours though. I really like the stacking bowl/strainer set too
Love this minimalist "how to", especially :
The Joseph Joseph bowls
The fact you have a kitchen door even in a micro apartment
The fact you're living with your kitchen as it is for ecological reasons
The reasonable prices you have paid out
That dining/coffee table
Inspiring, thanks, I've subscribed!
I love having a clean kitchen. usually I cook 2 to 3 meals at the same time or at least do some preparing. so I definitely need space and clean items. really saves a lot of money when it comes to groceries
I have started with a very similar amount Of stuff as them and i can Say i agree This îs a really good list. What i would personally add on my essential list would be one of those handheld processors for soups that often come in a ser with a whisk-i got a metal one that detaches for easy wash, and a 500ml pyrex jug that îs great for baking or batters and u can use it for mixing drinks too.
Thanks for such a to the point informative video love those pots 👀👀
Became my favorite video. Short and informative. The end 👍✨️
Trop génial les ustensiles de cuisine encastrables ! Merci beaucoup !
