    Love the vid but as a retired pro there’s a few that I was surprised didn’t make the cut:
    1. Tongs silicone tipped or not; the tool i use the most often.
    2. A ladle for serving soup,sauce or stew
    3. A digital scale for accurate measurement in baking & recipes that use weight versus volume.
    4. A sturdy colander for draining pasta or rinsing veg. Buy a metal one it’ll last forever.
    5. Immersion blender- a great solution for those who don’t want to drop a bundle on a Vitamix.
    6. Set of glass bowls with lids- microwave safe & used for fridge storage.
    7. Paring knife & serrated bread knife -chef knife is a work horse but it can’t do everything.
    8. Digital quick read thermometer- essential for temping proteins & oil for frying.
    No particular order or level, just my 2 cents.

      A good list of items, but I think a lot of these are what I would call "optimizers". A ladle does a better job than a large spoon, tongs do a better job than a spatula, collander does a better job than just using the lid, the bowls do a better job than just using a plate or a cooking vessel. Paring knife, bread knife, thermometer, and scale are good for specific tasks, but you might never need them. The hand blender is an interesting one, because a good one with various attachments can do food processing, blending, whisking, and takes up less space than a Vitamix or a food processor.

      Yeah that was the only thing I SUPER disagree with. It definitely should have been added as a necessity for things like baking/bread-making. Also helpful to convert recipes to weight so that eventually you can get rid of the measuring cups (i find they take up so much space and are tedious to clean). Stove-top cooking generally is forgiving if you aren’t 100% perfect on your measurements, and baking tends to need precision beyond what volumetric measurement provides.

    A good cotton kitchen towel is quite essential to me and versitile too. You of course use it for drying. But also quickly clean up, if you spilled something on your table or when arranging a dish.
    You can fold it and grab hot things.
    Or if your cutting board is sliding around when chopping, you can put it underneath to make it stop sliding around.
    I find it handy when cooking and keep one close by.

      @@maksimfedoryak While I do agree generally speaking that metric measurement is better, that isn't what I was talking about earlier. I was speaking on Volume vs Weight. Whether that be cups and teaspoons or liters for volume and pounds or grams for weight. A good example is Salt. A teaspoon of salt (or 5ml) is going to be very different if you're using kosher salt vs sea salt vs table salt. Hell, even one brand of kosher vs another brand will be made differently and thus, the crystal shape and size will be different and that affects volume. Wheat flour is even worse when measured by volume because it settles and compacts.

    As an Asian, I would say mastering 🥢 chopstics saved a lot of money and space at home. Spatula, tongs, tweezer and whisks can all be replaced by different sizes and kinds of chopsticks. Stronger option is the wooden Chinese chopsticks with both round ends. For smalle and fine items, like when working on some details in plating, use Korean steel chopsticks or Japanese sushi chopsticks. Bigger and heaviers items? Go for long noodle chopsticks.

I also have some rather short chopsticks, I think, and one pair is metal, but the other pair feels like hollow plastic, so they seem a little ill-suited for cooking.

      As someone who has lived in Asia for 20 years and am married to an Asian chef, no, spatulas, tweezers, whisks and tongs cannot be replaced by different sizes and kinds of chopsticks. You can use chopsticks for a few of those things, but they don't replace them at all. Especially when it comes to spatulas, tongs and whisks. Chopsticks are worse at doing what those tools do. Just get the right tool for the job. Chopsticks can be used for a few things, but they'll never replace those tools.

    This video should be sent to anyone you know who is getting married and wants suggestions to give to people who say, 'So, what do you need?' The one 'tool' NOT on this list that I got at a bridal shower in (ahem, mumble, mumble) 1977: a flip top garbage can and plastic liners. Most of the small tools mentioned in Josh's list were also in that garbage can. The lady who gave me this gave the best gifts, ever. Also: KitchenAid mixers - in total agreement with Josh on the usefulness and longevity of this. I've been using mine since 1980. You do the math. One of these days, I'm going to take it apart and clean out the motor, but along with having a set of attachments that go on the PTO in the front: cakes, cookies, quiche, breads, tomato and fruit processing (one note: do NOT try to use the veg strainer attachment with grapes that have seeds, they will cause it to have grape seed constipation and will explode - ask me how I know), salsa, hot sauce, pasta. Before I indulged myself and got a food processor - it was this and a knife. Also - if you can, get an extra bowl - if you make anything that requires beating the crap out of egg whites first (chiffon and angelfood cakes, marshmallow, nouget, etc.) and then making the rest of the batter and then folding one into the other, having an extra bowl is really great because you don't spend time transferring job one (egg whites) into a separate bowl, washing the first bowl, doing the next mix and then adding one to the other. A real time saver.

      I’ve used those Rubbermaid spatulas for decades in a commercial kitchen environment, and the handle breaking off has never been an issue. They are also sealed/fused with the head in a way that does not leave any crevices for food to hide away. I do get your point when it comes to many wood or steel handles silicone spatulas, where the handle simply is attached by friction, and easily slide off. Those are kind of nasty. Another benefit of many of the one piece designs is that they don’t have the annoying lumpy rectangle in the center of the head, so that when you scrape it against the edge of a container, some of the food stays on the spatula. Perhaps a minor nitpick, but it is one of those tiny annoyances in life.

    For baking, parchment paper typically produces better results. The smoother surface of the silicone mat makes it tougher for things like cookie dough to rise, yielding flatter cookies. This effect can also cause the baked good to cook too fast. Not a bfd, but just pay attention to whether or not the recipe calls for parchment paper and adjust accordingly.
    Because silicone is porous and absorbs odors, for those that choose to use silicone mats, be sure to have seperate mats for savories and sweeties.
    Edit: I have seen the whole video and Joshua brings uo some of my own points about parchment ❤

    • @oxigen85
      @oxigen85 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    As a Swede I am obliged to say Ankarsrum is better than Kitchen Aid.
    One, lives long, i mean 6 years?!?... When the electrolux ( turned into ankarsrum) my father inherited from his grandmother finally burned out it was over 70 years old.
    Two, compatability. Most of the extra gadgets from my fathers inherited NG1 still fit on my new N30. Not only does that mean that you can find used gadgets and they will fit your new machine, it also means if they make a new one (recently added an icecream maker for example) you dont need a new stand mixer to use it.
    Also stronger engine, 7 year warranty and atleast as many compatible attachments as the kitchenaid(s).

    Where i’m from many have a Thermomix, it’s an all-around cooking machine. We usually use it for rice, tomato sauce, meringue, lemonade, pasta, pesto, ice-cream, hardboiled eggs, dough, etc. (like it can help in literally any dish by blending, mincing, mixing or cooking)
    It’s like a blender, food processor, with different speeds to cut in different sizes, with heat to cook. The only downside is that unless you’re an expert it only works if you follow the recipes made for the machine.

    • @nicklongenbach8633

      It's a bit more niche, but they are also really good for making fermented hot sauces. After fermenting the hot peppers for a few weeks you usually blend them and then heat them to kill off the bacteria and stop the fermentation process. Thermomix does both at the same time and you get less of the .... hot pepper miasma cloud ... that tends to occur when you heat up pepper blends.

    Absolutely agree about the vitamix. I actually take mine with me when I leave town lol. Especially for vegan cooking, where you need frequently to blend raw cashews to make a cream substitute, it’s nice to have specifically a vitamix because you don’t have to soak the cashews in hot water before hand. It saves a lot of time. Also I love it for green smoothies because it shreds kale like nothing else. Might be pricy, but it lasts forever. Mine is at least 12 years old and it looks a little tattered but it still works like new. Its name is Blen-Diesel.

    -- I've never had a mandolin, and don't do a lot of cutting that absolutely needs to be precisely consistent - the only reason I may want one is for making very thin slices for things like potato chips or carrot ribbons. But I've found, with very little practice, I can get good consistent results (in thickness, not shape) with a vegetable peeler.
    -- When it comes to spatulas I highly recommend getting one piece flat spatulas - the ones where a blade attaches to a handle are subject to gunk build up in the connection. For turning spatulas the best ones are the fish spatulas, which are mostly metal but they do make non-stick safe ones too
    -- I bought an apron about 20 years ago and have worn it twice - 20 years ago. It still hangs in my pantry but i never remember to put it on.
    -- A medium Whisk is the best thing I've found for breaking up ground meat in a skillet (meat can accumulate in the whisk, but as it cooks and crumbles it will break lose and fall out freely - sometimes i add a 1/4 cup water, or stock, or wine [that evaporates] to help break up the meat)
    -- Mainly cooking for one, I love the 1/8 sheet baking trays. Amazon has the thick aluminum NordicWare ones for about $6
    -- I don't buy mixing bowls, instead I use my stainless steel pots (in various sizes from 2 - 8 qts), or stand mixer bowl, or measuring cups (including an 8 cup batter bowl, which is sort of a mixing bowl - but more of a giant measuring cup) Works fine without the extra expense or storage space.
    -- I have a Mercer Chef Knife i got on sale on Amazon for about $12 - these are good knives, I remember them being in-house workhorses for restaurants I have worked at when I was young - they are good quality, comfortable, and well balanced - and IF I needed to - which I don't, I could buy a dozen over the next 20 years and still pay less than what those expensive knives cost. In my opinion home cooks will do just fine with a Mercer - or other low cost quality brands - maybe an OXO. Save your knife money for a stand mixer.
    -- Not sure why a weighing scale didn't make the list - I would say it's at least tier 3
    -- Another item I'd highly recommend is a pot strainer -- being sort of a crescent moon shape full of holes on a handle - to drain stuff in the pot/pan without pouring into a colander
    -- and a stick blender
    -- and an air fryer, for crissake! -- are we cavemen?

    Great video Josh! Another thing that I would probably put in the 3rd or 4th category due to the usage you can get out of them are stackable food safe plastic containers (make sure that they're dishwasher, microwave and freezer safe).
    Ever made some really good broth you want to use for another time? Into a container and put it in the freezer.
    Wanna pickle some stuff but can't be bothered with having mason jars that take up space when not in use? Use a plastic container.
    Want to bring some food on a picknick? Bam, container!
    There's lots of great uses for them, but they can be a bit on the pricier side if you want something of decent quality.
