So, you now have your kitchen stocked up with the essential cooking equipment
which will enable you to start preparing meals.� The next step is to buy
the food�. or is it?
There�s more to cooking than just utensils and ingredients. No matter how
careful you are, there are going to be spills, leftover food and the dreaded
washing up. Below is a list of non-food items you should get straight off:-
Essential General Kitchen Items for Students
�
| � |
Washing up liquid - unless you're lucky enough to have a
dishwasher in which case you'll need dishwasher liquid or tabs |
 |
Cleaning liquids or Creams - such as Ajax or Jif -
essential for keeping clean work surfaces, cookers and floors.
We recommend one cream� type suitable for
cookers/counter-tops and and one liquid type suitable for floors. |
|
|
Scourers and washing up sponges/brushes - you will be faced with
a myriad or scourers, pads and brushes to choose from.
We recommend you buy the duel sponge/scourers plus a small
brush |
 |
Disposable Kitchen cloths - such as J-Cloths. Essential
for wiping up spills and cleaning down surfaces and cheap enough to
throw away after a few uses. Supermarkets own brands are cheaper. |
 |
At
least two Tea Towels - for drying utensils and crockery. You can
often find economical "bundles" which include a range of towels and
other cloths. |
 |
Kitchen Rolls (paper towels) �- the hygienic way to dry
foods such as vegetables and meats which have been washed. Yes you
DO HAVE TO rinse many foods before cooking them. |
 |
Aluminium Foil� - great for lining grill pans, wrapping
sandwiches or foods for storage� and cooking, especially in the
oven. |
 |
Clingfilm�� - good for air tight wrapping of
sandwiches or foods for storage especially for covering dishes. Get
a multi-purpose one which can also be used in the microwave.�
|
 |
Oven
Gloves� - �not only essential for removing
things from the oven but also for holding other hot items such as
pan handles. If you are buying the mitt type (as shown) buy two -
one for each hand ! |
