      Or maybe versatile enough to realise that skill is more important than the tools. Oft many tools are capable of the same task. It comes down to the person using them. Whilst the tips are generally good, there are some oversights. The size of the mortar and pestle should depend on the task. His suggestion is overkill for smaller tasks. His knife selection I'm also dubious on based on many years working with knives. I never use a serrated knife for example as I keep mine bloody sharp (you can shave with them). Also wondering why the vid cuts off in the middle of a tip. That's not very professional. Yes he's a good chef. I luv much (not all) of his food. Serrated knives are better if you can't (or are too lazy) to sharpen them properly

    Not sure if anyone else needs the list that Gordan just shared but here is it:
    1. Sauce Pan - 1 x Medium; 1 x Large
    Tip: Get a heavy base which would help to distribute the heat.
    2. Knives - 1 x Heavy Duty Chopping Knife; 1 x Paring Knife; 1 x Serrated Knife
    Tip: Hold the grip to get a feel of which is your preferred knife; Heavier grips allow for better control of the knife.
    3. Pestle & Motar
    Tip: Has sufficient surface area to work the space; Heavier ones are long lasting and gives one the confidence to pound the spices
    4. Frying Pan
    Tip: Get one that is oven ready to allow for finishing of the food to be done in the oven; CAUTION: handle will be hot out of the oven; Heavier base distributes the heat better
    5. Digital Scale (with conversions for Grams / Oz / Pounds etc.)
    6. Sieve
    Tip: Get one with a long handle and balancing hooks to allow it to rest on mixing bowl / pan
    7. Casserole Dish
    Tip: Versatile equipment where you can start on the hob and finish in the oven; Cast iron allows for low heat and allows the food to be cooked naturally; Only need one and if taken care of last you a lifetime.
    8. Chopping Board - Heavy Duty Wooden (Dual Side)
    Tip: Put a piece of cloth below the board to prevent it from sliding; allows you to work easily on vege and meat (dual side); Oil it with any cooking oil every so often to maintain it
    9. Stainless Steel Peeler
    Tip: Get one with a swivel to allow it to peel on the contour of the vegetable;
    10. Stainless Steel Box Grater
    Tip: Get one with a good handle and grate directly into a bowl / pan
    11. Roasting Tray
    Tip: 2 handles roasting tray; versatile equipment that allows it be worked on hob / oven; Solid material will allow for better distribution of heat
    12. Baking Tray
    Tip: Solid material will allow for better distribution of heat

    You can tell Ramsay genuinely cares about people. He could've been a greedy cash cow and promoted a certain brand, perhaps his, and swayed you into buying a whole cupboard of things you'd probably never use, or even know how to use. Instead he only mentioned the essentials resulting in you saving loads of money. Ramsay's a good guy like that. Hats off to him.

      Yeah, but I would say you really should invest in a decent carbon steel wok. Talk about versatile, you can do so much with them. I would pick that even before I'd go for his non-stick frying pan. Get a good patina built up on the wok and you don't need a teflon coated thing thats gonna flake off after a couple years.

    • @electrictroy2010

      @Zuraneve 8 років тому +33

      Since no one has actually mentioned *why* the scale and sieve are good for baking... Flour is notoriously easy to overmeasure. You DO NOT just scoop it up like you would dry rice or beans, because that just compacts the flour in the cup. A scale is a very reliable way to measure flour (approx 120-125g per cup of all-purpose flour, depending on brand). If you do not have a scale, the next best way to measure flour is to spoon it into your measuring cup, then level it off by scraping the back of a knife along the top of the cup. Be sure to use cups intended for dry measurements, not liquids.
      The sieve is good because it ensures you have no clumps of flour going into your food. It makes it easier to mix the flour in without worrying about breaking up clumps of flour, and possible over mixing. For some recipes, it also helps incorporate more air into the mixture. It's also good for dusting baked goods with powdered sugar. Side note: While I love to bake, I actually don't bother with the sieve, mostly because my kitchen is very, very tiny and I have no place to store it. If you have to pick one, pick the scale. (I have a mortar and pestle in my kitchen - no sieve.)
      As for bacon... Well, a scale is just an invaluable piece of kitchen equipment anyway. But if you really need a bacon-specific purpose...if a recipe calls for a quarter pound of bacon, you could just eyeball the amount you need, but what if you under-bacon?
      The sieve could be used for... um. I suppose you could take it apart and rest the net part on top of your skillet to prevent grease spatters. But you'd be better off buying something intended for that purpose, I think.

  • @JgHaverty
    @JgHaverty 8 років тому +357

    Some things to consider for the true novices :
    Knife quality is important, not just how it feels. If you're using a stamped stainless knife, just... go cheap. Don't spend 50$ on a shit knife. You can get a great knife for 70-90$. Learning how to take care of it is also very important. Imo look for a knife made of VG10. Its a great steel, cost effective and holds an edge better than stamped stainless. If its "dishwasher safe" its a shitty knife. At the same time, if youre just starting out, even if you can easily afford it, do NOT jump straight into a high end shun, whustoff, henckel, miyabi, etc... Why? Because you need to find your style. I am a german chef knife guy. I tried the good santokus, I've tried other european style knives, but for me, I love a heavy handle with a carbon steel blade. Heavier the better. I settled on an 8" henckel chefs knife. You might prefer the surgical precision of the 7" shun santoku. Get some decent quality cheaper knives and learn to take care of them and develop your style.
    With aluminum pans, make sure its super thick aluminum. Thinner pans will actually warp over time and give you a "bump" in the middle, causing uneven heating and bad cooking performance. My recommendation is a stainless steel pan with teflon coating. You get the best of all worlds. Non stick performance, and heat durability of the stainless steel. No need to go super crazy here, you can get a FANTASTIC pan for 40$. Copper bottom, and straight stainless pans are more specialized cookware, and that's something to move into at a later date. Stay away from "celebrity chef" endorsed products for the most part. Rachel Ray cookware is a freaking joke lol.
    For pots, he explained all you need to know! Id recommend a small pot for sauce making too.
    One he didnt mention is a saute/stir fry pan or wok. there are times when the high sides really help out. Don't need to go super ham on these.

      @JgHaverty 7 років тому +3

      Yes! Novices just look at shape and advertisements to make their decisions :(
      I get so sad when I see people spending 30-50$ on stamped steel knives (*cough* rachel ray *cough*).
      My henckel was 90$, and I'll probably die with it haha (yes there are different levels of henckel, I got mine on sale, its the mid range german one, not the "international series")

    I don’t see a spatter screen in this set of tools. It is my favourite. Not only does it keep the kitchen cleaner when cooking spattery foods, but also it is super for keeping some humidity in the pan when frying things that can dry out, without making them soggy. I also use it with a lid when I want to steam off extra moisture, such as when cooking a sauce or stew. Better than just trying to balance the lid off centre. And most importantly, it takes up no space to store and cleans with just hot water and a soapy scrubbing pad.

  • @whereisalex96

    I also have a smaller, tall saucepan with a spout, kinda like a milk pot, and it's one of my favorites in my kitchen. You don't really need it since you can do everything you use it for in the regular small saucepan, but I work a lot with chocolate and sauces (mostly sweet) in small batches, and it's perfect for that as well as heating a small amount milk. So if you make a lot of desserts at home you might wanna get one!

  • @MarzNet256

    I make cutting boards. Do not use regular vegetable oils on wooden cutting boards-they can go rancid and impart poor flavor to foods. Use food grade mineral oil only or buy some that comes mixed with beeswax. Cutting boards need feet under them-otherwise moisture can get trapped underneath and cause mold. Use a separate board for raw meat.

    • @theeddorian
      @theeddorian 5 років тому +11

      I make them occasionally too. I recommend two boards as well, but ... one used properly is fine. A properly seasoned and finished board won't crack. Wash the board after every use with hot water and detergent. After it's dry, I use a mix of beeswax and food-grade mineral oil on it. You can make your own treatment by melting the beeswax and adding mineral oil; it is much less expensive than buying a commercial version. You can also use it on wooden bowls, implements (and even leather boots ;-), just don't use the same container). Store the cooking board on edge after washing so that air circulates on faces and edges; it won't mold (that might depend on climate though, YMMV). WIth a thick board and a non-skid pad under it, the way Ramsay does it, and using one side for vegetables (prepped first) and flipped to handle any meat, then washed properly you limit any cross-contamination hazard.

      Rollo Lawson: If you treat your board with walnut oil, there is the possibility that someone with a nut allergy could react to food that came in contact with the board. Safer to go with mineral oil (which is also a LOT cheaper!).

    Cast Iron for me! I have two, a deep large casserole, and a shallow one, which is also my frying pan. Can be a little unwieldy but the heat control is amazing and I always pre-heat it in the oven.

      If you use a cast iron skillet for pancakes you also get a great forearm workout flipping them.

      I agree, but I think this list is supposed to be basic items. Cast iron can be difficult to cook on for some.

      If a thekitchn was correct its a carbon steel skillet from Mauviel. Carbon steel is basically just cast iron but thinner lighter and smoother (probably more non stick)

    Gordon, you get a lot of flack for your personality and how angry you can sometimes be, but you really do love cooking and, above all else, helping others cook well.
    My respect, yo.

      "Yea like Frying pan" no like what type of things to go for, what to look for what he finds to be reliable.

    • @JoeyLamontagne
      @JoeyLamontagne 8 років тому +27

      Then again, he's not saying to buy the most EXPENSIVE frying pan, just a good quality one that one can afford. AKA, don't buy cheap shit.

    • @MaxParasite
      @MaxParasite 8 років тому +14

      Exactly. You can get a shitty one for 5 every six months and be angry about the shittiness all the time, or spend 40 for a good one once and be happy for some years.

    Always try to buy an end grain chopping board. They last longer, self heal and arent as harsh on your knife blade. Some woods, like oak, actually have better anti bacteria properties than plastic and st steel.
