These responses are hilarious Chicken safe to eat ? You eat mayo it’s raw eggs ? You shouldn’t need a thermo for meat learn to do it by touch after awhile you can do it by smell And you ever go to eat I will guarantee your so called chef never used a thermo Safe to eat that cracks me up I guarantee your all the same people leave frozen chicken out all night to thaw on a counter
I am so addicted to your videos!! You have just the perfect mixture of aesthetics, knowledge, great recipes, fun, good music, awesome editing, authenticity and entertainment! You, Joshua, are the perfect B-roll 😘
I’m a masking tape/Sharpie girl, too. Tip: fold under a half-inch on the roll after you tear off a piece. Leave the little tab on the piece you use for your next label. Then when you want to remove a label, you have a nice little pull tab so it peels off easily and cleanly.
Content, Cinematography, personality. You got it all. I learn something new every time and I'm constantly referencing your previous videos. Thank You again Joshua, awaiting the next video always
I love how he says "let's do this, shall we?" instead of the overused "so without further ado". Small thing, but, hey, it matters. Lol! Anyway, great show! I love every episode!
A good silicone spatula or 1 big & 1 small are so essential, especially when on a budget and with a smaller kitchen. Way less food waste and multiple uses. :)
This was an amazing list. Every item, I was like "wow, I use that all the time. I would add: Ultra-fine mesh strainer. Washing cilantro and washing rice are two of my most frequent tasks. Agree on the tape. Deli containers (16oz and 32oz) Instant pot (my rice maker, good for batch prep veggies and soups) Air fryer (I'm too busy to be waiting on oven preheats or using mitts, and I like the air fryer crisp) Carbon steel
don't write this off - air fryers are incredibly quick, great for frozen chips and that sort of thing. not going to recommend making a fruit mince pie in one however. I'd say, you've got to have at least one cast iron - probably cheapest pan you can get, nonstick better than nonstick (if you do it right), ovensafe, and BEST heat retention AND conduction or any pan (glazed has much the same benefits other than nonstick). i now have one as my dedicated egg frying pan, I'm not going back. (also you won't get cancer from a cast iron regardless of whether you would or wouldn't from teflon)
Very well done! I have been a chef for 40 years and cannot imagine another tool you omitted. Often success is based on the right tool for the job. Kudos
As far as i care all you need are 3 appliances.. a refrigerator to keep food cold... a standmixer for the motor (with attachments such as blender food processor ice-cream maker meat grinder pasra maker and so on) And a instant pot multicooker such as a ninja foodi one... Woth the ability to do everything from air fry to beak to sous vide... 3 main appliances make up a kitchen... Sure there are the small things like knifes which are important... But when it comes to appliances..... (Also btw never kitchenaid.. the best value mixer is definitely a bosch... a lots stronger and better)
You are allowed to promote your instagram account, Joshua. I give you permission. It's not shameless, it's professional. And you are a pro. Thanks for the content.
I am in Culinary School currently, and holy crap this video is cool. I feel like as a cook, one can make the best use out of all these. They all are essential. And by the way, you are cool.
We had a house fire 4 yrs ago and lost 80% of our kitchen due to water not fire damage. My husband asked what was the number 1 thing I had to replace, hands down my Kitchen Aid Mixers (hand and stand), thank goodness he agreed.
My next big purchase is the Kitchenaid stand mixer. I just upgraded to a Vitamix from a Ninja blender that's supposed to be modeled after/just as good as a Vitamix. There's no comparison, especially for nut butters, smoothies, and non-dairy milks. Everything is so much smoother. The mouthfeel of smoothies is just velvety and no tiny grains of things like kale stalks or harder things like carrot, beet, or radishes.
@@benpassey6509 When I need a power tool, I'll get a Bosch. When I need a stand mixer, I'll buy a goddamn Kitchenaid. It's almost universal, at this point, that all Kitchenaid stand products are interchangeable with the others. My mother gifted me her grinder set from her new mixer, and I've been using that with my older mixer for ages.
First of all, thanks. My son introduced me to your videos and it’s upped both of our cooking games. Could you please talk about selection and care of your aluminum baking sheets. I volunteered in a semi-commercial kitchen in a gourmet store’s cooking school for a few years. I say “semi-professional” because we had high end residential cooking appliances as a demonstration and display of the appliances, tools and supplies available to buy in the store. I fell in love with the dozens and dozens of aluminum baking trays we used to bake, prep, etc. and replaced my sundry sheet pans with similar pans, I thought. Because the cooking school served 60-100 people, often, we had a commercial scullery. The sheet pans went through the commercial dishwasher, came out and looked just like yours in this video - a little battered and loved, but shiny and a little patinaed. Mine at home go through the residential dishwasher and oxidize badly.
I live in an RV full time, so "few but mighty" is my mantra in the kitchen. Appliances: stove, microwave, kitchen aid mixer, and instant pot (mostly for beans). Pans: I personally have a small and and extra large ceramic enamel dutch ovens, and super small 2qt sauce pan with short handles, a cast iron suatese, and a enamel coated skillet. Utensils: basically what you have, plus a fish spatula, 3 sizes of tongs, and a spider strainer. Ihave a basic knife set including Chef, Sanutoku, Paring, and mini-paring (mostly for fruit). Glass jars and food prep containers. Add in some mixing bowls and strainers, and I could live with just that, but I do have a few more little tools. I like my fruit-corer, egg slicer, and my pastry cutter/scraper set.
Got a sous vide for my birthday last year and absolutely love it. Not essential but upped my steak game a lot. That plus cast iron skillet plus sharp knife makes for a win every time.
@@madthumbs1564 I prefer my steak in a pan to the grill. The sous vide is just supplemental. And cast iron is the best tool for the job. Stays hot when you slap the meat down unlike aluminum or steel
The first video of you I watched I thought you were crazy. But now I know for a fact you are; Crazy good at making cooking videos. Thanks a lot for your effort! Keep it up
We used to have a large collection of pots and pans (we still do, I just put them in a box on the bottom shelf of the linen closet.) But we found this 10¾" by 2" Dutch oven like pan and we use it almost exclusively, we still need a few other things occasionally such as a medium-sized pot, a wide shallow pan, the tea kettle, the pizza stone, pie pan and a set of baking sheets. Those and our knives, cutting boards, mixing ladles, spoons, chopsticks, a paint brush, measuring bowls, and cheese grater just about cover it. Though we still do need a nice stock pot, a pasta maker, a scale, a higher-end knife sharpener, and the rolling pin.
I'd add: a good whisk (mini and normal sized), dropbox account on smartphone to keep track of recipes, toaster oven and meat thermometer. Also, wok for deep frying and a good pepper grinder.
Hey josh I really love all the videos and these recommendations are key! Grew up in a restaurant kitchen and I love all the service grade products you use. I’d love to see a full tour of your kitchen.
I would scratch the kitchen shears and jars, and add on a fine mesh strainer and a good set of tongs. I use both of those things at least weekly when I'm cooking (I meal prep so that's half my meals). If you can get your hands on one, I'd also recommend an immersion blender.
What do you find your mortar & pestle most useful for? I have a mortar & pestle but hardly ever use it. I prefer a little electric coffee grinder for most dry herbs and spices. Also find a mini food processor very useful for pastes & emulsions. Hardly ever use my big one with all the attachment discs. But then, I'm just a home cook making recipes for only 4-6 people.
@@memeguy6637 : I've read reviews on Amazon for mortar & pestle sets and was just not satisfied with the quality. Also, I found most were from China, & and I try not to purchase products from there. ESPECIALLY kitchen and food related items. If you have one you can recommend let me know.
@@ginawiggles918 Apparently persto is best made with a mortal and pestle. Crushing basil brings out that chopping cannot because of the way it breaks down cell walls, Ethan Chlebrewski talk about it in his pesto video.
you had cheese cloth and kitchen twine in multiple shots but don't mention either lmao. as I've gotten more into cooking, I've realized just how useful these two things are.
I have a foodsaver vac sealer, I love it for sealing canning jars for storage (not canning!) and I would die if something happened to my kitchenaid stand mixer, my first one was made in 1941 and still works like a champ, but I have 2 others that are newer and they take the brunt of the work in the kitchen now, plus they're 6 quart bowls and the old one is only 4
Oh and btw last time i checked different sites have different prices.. on most american sites i found the device to be closer to 400$ I got mine for 300 Around the 500 with all the accessories (And there are a lot more then bosch's official... nutrimill accessories for example can also be compatible... depends what... check if you need a adapter...) Do find what you need and shop for the bedt prices... And black friday is around the corner.. i have no idea if such a older device would be on discount but i definitely recommend you get a bosch Rather then kitchenaid
@@donotlike4anonymus594 I'm still saving up for the vitamix, they're pricey, so for now I'm using my food processor (also a kitchenaid) most of the time. I have a blender, but it's old and not suitable for much more than margaritas and milkshakes.
The Most underrated cooking tool is barbecue tongs, you can use them for so much more things than you might think! Frying, putting food on the plate, moving ingredients around, to get food out of the oven…
I would say a restaurant style prep table. I got one and I love it. Super deep table which allows me to leave my gadgets in place and always ready for use.
I think Joshua is a genius. He has really filled a void on how to cook. He tries to make cooking accessible and he has a calm and fun demeanor which lowers everyone's stress level.
I specifically looked this kitchen equipment up bc you mention some great things in another video. $150 wheely cart & I am after your thermometer. Thanks again for more helpful info. First video I saw I subscribed. How could you not?
I am not a fan of the single use plastic that is associated with the vacuum sealer, I wish someone would come out with a silicone option. If I were to chime in I would say a good u shape peeler is a must have. Also, exoglass stirring spoons are better than wooden ones (IMO), they don't pick up flavors, smells, oils and they last forever.
things i would not live without is a heavy ceramic bowl for whisking up mayo, a good choice of different whisks sizes and thicknesses, 25liter stock pot, 32cm cast iron skillet, my manual Can Can juicer and quality spices and salt of many kinds ;) great video as always keep up the good work
Not bad for a millennial. Thanks for this. I am glad you didn't drag out a chopper or magic vegetable grater. I pretty much use everything you recommended. I concur. Thanks again.
Pro chef here. Would add: - Pair of s.s. tongs - Strainers, one coarse, one fine - 4 oz Ball jars: sous vide egg bites, flan, yogurt, store spices, dressing, etc. - Chef’s press weights: for pressing sandwiches, weighing down sous vide meats to brown, etc. - Mandoline: I like the simple, cheap Benriner - Tea Towels: Many uses. Fold in half lengthwise, half again. Grab one end in each hand, wrap around pot and grab hot handles. Twist, form into a circle, place bowl on top to prevent “walking” while whisking. - Bench or dough scraper: great for scooping up quantities of chopped veg to transfer to pot/pan, dividing dough, smoothing icing, etc.
Some things essential that should have been included: 1. Stainless steel Pan 2. Carving knife (at least 12") 3. Cleaver knife 4. Temperature reader 5. Mixing bowls 6. Pair of tongs
I know this video is 5 years old but I would add to the wire rack and say a sturdy trivet such as a cast iron one. My God I did not think I'd get so much use out of this thing when I bought it, it's a roasting rack, icing rack, coaster, spoon rest, and a display stand all in one. I'm sure it has dozens of other applications as well.
I can't be the only one who gets nostalgic every time "Hit 'Em With The B-roll" drops. Not that the newer montage music is bad, it just doesn't quite hit like this song.
@@rebeccapresti9650 they're polycarbonate food prep and storage containers. Every professional kitchen and restaurant uses them - they're standard sizes to fit in hot bars (they can withstand boiling water) and salad bars, lidded and stackable... they're fantastic! www.restaurantsupply.com/cambro-food-pans
I saw you use that small silicone spatula in your sourdough starter video and I went and bought it and BOY has it made my life better. It’s such a simple great little tool.
Me again. To get a better deal on the KitchenAid stand mixer, shop their refurbs. Just like new, but lot less money. I inherited mine, but got my 9 qt food processor as a refurb for $90. I have some glass storage jars, but I generally prefer the lexan and airtight plastic one, as I have a concrete floor and am a bit of a klutz. Oh....get some pro grade deli containers. Great for food storage and to gather mis en place. Love ya Joshua. Look at your vids everyday. Learning much.
“It’s about time we start talking about ONLY the stuff that we need”. 1 minute later: “I just have a small medium and large of every type of pot, that’s just how I am”
To me it will be: Knifes, cutting board, blender, cast iron pan and a medium pot, pestle, wood spoon, airfryer oven, I still need a kitchen weight, wok and rice cooker. One year ago I start cooking so right now I am obssed with different tools and trying to not get crazy but enjoying the new appliances.
I did, too.. until all my storage and counter real estate was clogged with stuff I rarely, if ever, actually used. Paring down really helped me by making my workspace easier to manuever(?) in, and helped me feel more like cooking.. now if I could get a staff for the cleaning...!😁
You should make a video about cleaning after cooking since that’s the one thing most cook dread after cooking a nice meal
Work a bit slower, to be tidier, less spills slopping.
2. Be prepared ahead with everything neatly out of cupboards and pantry/fridge.
Clean as you go, in between phases of your baking or meal prep.
Wash dishes as you go when possible and put items away when no longer needed.
Wipe spills as they happen.
Be methodical like a science experiment.
Ask for help, but do not tell people "I did the cooking, so you do the cleaning"
That's plain wring and encourages messy cooking and caring less for quantity of pots pans etc.
I know people like this..its not an equitable arrangement.
Clean as you go. Re-use as possible. Wipe/rinse any utensil or dish immediately after using it.
I never spend more than 15 minutes cleaning after a cook, and that's after sometimes spending hours in the kitchen.
Mis en plas. Get a little set of small & tiny bowls and have all your ingredients measured, prepped, and ready to go. Put away all the spices/herbs & set aside vegetable peelings for compost The key is to tidy up as you go. Use every spare opportunity to clear clutter. I keep a shoebox sized tub filled with soapy water in the sink. Toss stuff in, sanitize the counters, cutting board, & move on. It's all about prep & organization.
Professional cooks clean a lot as they go, I adopted this for me, too. At least I am training. Way better, less dreading.

@@ginawiggles918 Apparently persto is best made with a mortal and pestle. Crushing basil brings out that chopping cannot because of the way it breaks down cell walls, Ethan Chlebrewski talk about it in his pesto video.
I was just thinking about the cabinet and how you open it- and then the ending lol. Your videos are fantastic man.
you had cheese cloth and kitchen twine in multiple shots but don't mention either lmao.
as I've gotten more into cooking, I've realized just how useful these two things are.
So glad Josh pronounces aesthetic correctly 💋👏👏👏👏
I have a foodsaver vac sealer, I love it for sealing canning jars for storage (not canning!) and I would die if something happened to my kitchenaid stand mixer, my first one was made in 1941 and still works like a champ, but I have 2 others that are newer and they take the brunt of the work in the kitchen now, plus they're 6 quart bowls and the old one is only 4
Oh and btw last time i checked different sites have different prices.. on most american sites i found the device to be closer to 400$
I got mine for 300
Around the 500 with all the accessories
(And there are a lot more then bosch's official... nutrimill accessories for example can also be compatible... depends what... check if you need a adapter...)
Do find what you need and shop for the bedt prices...
And black friday is around the corner.. i have no idea if such a older device would be on discount but i definitely recommend you get a bosch
Rather then kitchenaid
@@donotlike4anonymus594 I'm still saving up for the vitamix, they're pricey, so for now I'm using my food processor (also a kitchenaid) most of the time. I have a blender, but it's old and not suitable for much more than margaritas and milkshakes.
@@Bluebelle51 i do suggest you save for a bosch rather then vitmix/...
The Most underrated cooking tool is barbecue tongs, you can use them for so much more things than you might think!
Frying, putting food on the plate, moving ingredients around, to get food out of the oven…
Fermentation Station ... this phrase is hunting me in my dreams 😂
Great video dude keep going
I would say a restaurant style prep table. I got one and I love it. Super deep table which allows me to leave my gadgets in place and always ready for use.
I think Joshua is a genius. He has really filled a void on how to cook. He tries to make cooking accessible and he has a calm and fun demeanor which lowers everyone's stress level.
Huge fan I've been subscribed for 2 years 😊
I’d personally put a immersion blender on there for me 😀
Dude, I absolutely LOVE your channel. You always get it SO RIGHT. well done man!!
When i have my own house, I will look up at your video to know what is essential for my kitchen ^_^
Stainless mixing bowl is pretty good to have.
First sentence in the video "I'm tired of kitchen gadget culture"
Me: Gets an kitchen gadget ad at the begging of the video
Great job, UA-cam!
Hey I don't argue with the monetization gods. :P
I think you should get an Emmy just in the B-Roll class. Cause those shots are 🔥
The day when you post a video without B-Roll is when I’ll be truly worried for you.
Bro, I'm a first year grad student and this really helps out thank you so much!!!
Can you try dry aging beef?
I specifically looked this kitchen equipment up bc you mention some great things in another video. $150 wheely cart & I am after your thermometer. Thanks again for more helpful info. First video I saw I subscribed. How could you not?
a full FERMENTATION KIT is all i need
One of my 2020 goals is to try every recipe on your playlist!
"You're out of the cabinet now" lol
Trying to learn more about cooking so thank you so much!
B-Roll is the most important kitchen essential
One of my most essentials is a metal colander that I use for both straining and steaming over a boiler or Dutch oven.
I am not a fan of the single use plastic that is associated with the vacuum sealer, I wish someone would come out with a silicone option. If I were to chime in I would say a good u shape peeler is a must have. Also, exoglass stirring spoons are better than wooden ones (IMO), they don't pick up flavors, smells, oils and they last forever.
Man, I love your videos and your content. Yesterday I made the baguettes and they were PERFECT.
Is it wrong to hit LIKE before even watching this video ?! (did it anyway)
things i would not live without is a heavy ceramic bowl for whisking up mayo, a good choice of different whisks sizes and thicknesses, 25liter stock pot, 32cm cast iron skillet, my manual Can Can juicer and quality spices and salt of many kinds ;) great video as always keep up the good work
Video: 19 Tools To Make Cooking Easier
Josh: *Pulls out 19 different knives*
Not bad for a millennial. Thanks for this. I am glad you didn't drag out a chopper or magic vegetable grater. I pretty much use everything you recommended. I concur. Thanks again.
When is weisman brand cookware merch coming out?
Pro chef here. Would add:
- Pair of s.s. tongs
- Strainers, one coarse, one fine
- 4 oz Ball jars: sous vide egg bites, flan, yogurt, store spices, dressing, etc.
- Chef’s press weights: for pressing sandwiches, weighing down sous vide meats to brown, etc.
- Mandoline: I like the simple, cheap Benriner
- Tea Towels: Many uses. Fold in half lengthwise, half again. Grab one end in each hand, wrap around pot and grab hot handles. Twist, form into a circle, place bowl on top to prevent “walking” while whisking.
- Bench or dough scraper: great for scooping up quantities of chopped veg to transfer to pot/pan, dividing dough, smoothing icing, etc.
Some things essential that should have been included:
1. Stainless steel Pan
2. Carving knife (at least 12")
3. Cleaver knife
4. Temperature reader
5. Mixing bowls
6. Pair of tongs
I know this video is 5 years old but I would add to the wire rack and say a sturdy trivet such as a cast iron one. My God I did not think I'd get so much use out of this thing when I bought it, it's a roasting rack, icing rack, coaster, spoon rest, and a display stand all in one. I'm sure it has dozens of other applications as well.
No one:
Not a soul:
Joshua: *B-ROLL*
I can't be the only one who gets nostalgic every time "Hit 'Em With The B-roll" drops. Not that the newer montage music is bad, it just doesn't quite hit like this song.
Different sized Cambros = essential for me. So versitile.
Awh man I should have mentioned that too.... dang bummed I left that out. Cambros are life.
@@JoshuaWeissman Scrap the video and start over. It's all useless I guess now.
Cambros?
@@rebeccapresti9650 they're polycarbonate food prep and storage containers. Every professional kitchen and restaurant uses them - they're standard sizes to fit in hot bars (they can withstand boiling water) and salad bars, lidded and stackable... they're fantastic!

@@jameshaulenbeek5931 thank-you! 💚
I saw you use that small silicone spatula in your sourdough starter video and I went and bought it and BOY has it made my life better. It’s such a simple great little tool.
Joshua , one question, what's the b roll music ?
Me again. To get a better deal on the KitchenAid stand mixer, shop their refurbs. Just like new, but lot less money. I inherited mine, but got my 9 qt food processor as a refurb for $90. I have some glass storage jars, but I generally prefer the lexan and airtight plastic one, as I have a concrete floor and am a bit of a klutz. Oh....get some pro grade deli containers. Great for food storage and to gather mis en place. Love ya Joshua. Look at your vids everyday. Learning much.
Your labelling game consistently makes me giggle. Tehe "lacto bloobs" 😂
You thought no one would notice eh?
For me it's the semicircular dough cutter, if you are making any sort of dough, this guy makes the cake!
“It’s about time we start talking about ONLY the stuff that we need”.
1 minute later: “I just have a small medium and large of every type of pot, that’s just how I am”
Hi Joshua :) I really like all your kitchen stuffs.
Show us how to make caramel sauce come on everyone we can get him to it
how to make caramel sauce easy version use butter light brown sugar and water and ah i forgot the rest sorry
To me it will be:
Knifes, cutting board, blender, cast iron pan and a medium pot, pestle, wood spoon, airfryer oven, I still need a kitchen weight, wok and rice cooker. One year ago I start cooking so right now I am obssed with different tools and trying to not get crazy but enjoying the new appliances.
Ummm I shouldn’t watch this video but I will anyways ! I have a horrible kitchen gadget addiction!!
I did, too.. until all my storage and counter real estate was clogged with stuff I rarely, if ever, actually used. Paring down really helped me by making my workspace easier to manuever(?) in, and helped me feel more like cooking.. now if I could get a staff for the cleaning...!😁
You probably have all of them.
Love your video! You have a great way on showing what the video is about with your style. Love all the different camera angles.
