This is cool. A good follow-up might be a standard grocery list and what to make from it if you were starting from zero (either transitioning into being vegan or even just moving to a new place, ect.).
I would recommend the following appliances: 1) Food processor with Blender 2) Instant Pot or any Slow cooker 3) A cooker or mini oven if you are single and budget restricted ( mini oven can be cheaper to buy) 4) Microwave for reheating leftovers. 5) A smartphone or tablet to access vegan UA-cam videos. Other vegans may recommend other products/appliances.
If a vegan can only have one kitchen appliance...I'd say Instant Pot for the win!!! With mine I can cook every type of bean and lentils with ease and NO soaking! It cooks brown rice and quinoa like a dream, perfect every time. You can use it steam veggies (fresh and frozen), not to mention perfect for steaming homemade seitan (so much cheaper than store bought!) You can make your breakfast oatmeal in it....there's practically nothing you can't do with thing! I like mine so much I actually own two so I can have rice and beans (or lentils or whatever) going at the same time. Totally worth the investment.
@@tas2461873 no.. heck no.. I don't want you to be one of those ex vegans.. if you're trying it just for the sake of it ... Please pre soak your beans and lentils.. it's very very important.. especially kidney beans .. it would make a great difference.. I mean.. beans are so good for you but they still have anti nutrients in them which can be significantly reduced by soaking and cooking and sprouting.. Please consider soaking
These video presentations are like a grand body of work, art pieces in food that work well with our health, and resources for every aspect of vegan living 🌼💫 thank you Candice 🙏💕
My vegan pantry lots of different rices (sushi, basmati, jasmine, black, risotto), 5 types of beans, raw sunflower seeds to use in place of cashews in recipes, nori, lots of different spices for Indian, Mexican, Asian cuisine (its all in the seasoning y’all!), Panko to bread stuff or sprinkle in sushi bowls to give it crunch, nut butters, pasta like ramen, pad Thai noodles, regular gluten laden stuff... my husband says we have so much stuff but nothing to eat!! Gotta cook it, bud.
I'm using my Better Than Boullion jars for sprouting seeds. I put about a tablespoon of mixed seeds in a clean jar and add water. Change the water daily until they start to sprout, then just rinse them daily as they grow. I store them in the fridge for a couple of days and add them to salads, bean dishes, wraps, etc.
It is also really easy to cook beans in a rice cooker as well, if you already have one. If not, Amazon has them for around $20. Totally worth the money! I am constantly using mine!
@@vegannoralaurenarebalo2299 I actually wouldn't recommend that. I ruined my rice cooker by trying to cook beans in it. Now it only cooks rice to about 2/3rds fully cooked.
Ughhhh! I love your pantry. I always see new vegan foods and stock up and then they just sit there as I re-eat the same things. Thank you for the tips! :)
Definitely want to hear more about the appliances that you think that every vegan would benfit the most from. I'm trying to convince friends and family to go vegan, and showing that it's not an arderous task that can't be done would help a lot.
I think it's also important to mention that you don't necessarily need a bunch of oils to have an epic vegan kitchen. You can use broths, vinegars, alcohol, and what you didn't mention in your pantry, I think, was soy sauce or tamari.
Great video! I think that people sometimes don't realize how many meals you can make with a well stocked pantry. Ultimately it can be a real money saver since the dry items you mentioned can last a lot longer than fresh produce. I'll take you up on the baking offer. I'll be over tonight 😂
You can buy those white grated shelves at Walmart or Bed Bath and Beyond. You can put it over your plates and have more storage space on top and still pull out your plates easily. That's what I have. You can use them for all of your cabinets for more space. You also can put in those shelves and put your spices in small plastic containers. They will slide in and out easily too. Also at Walmart. I like your boxes idea. Same concept, but too big and cumbersome.
Wow we have very similar pantries. I've been making my own soy milk and oat milk and it's so much better than store bought and cuts down on carton waste. I would love to see your appliance collection!
This video came out at the perfect time! I’m a very new vegan and currently planning my next trip to the grocery store to restock my now animal free pantry 😊 thanks Candice cant wait to try your suggestions out! P.s. I’d love to see a video on essential appliances!
What is the name/brand of the TVP slices in the jar that kind of look like dog treats? lol I'd like to get some, because Soy Curls always arrive to me broken into small pieces. The ones you have in that jar look much more durable.
I am a huge advocate of J. K. Adams 48 jar spice rack. Made in VT! It spins, is labeled, sorry Candice no label maker, and holds a good selection. Despite this I have a box of overflow spices in wax paper bags from my neighborhood herb store.
Instant pot video please!!! And yes thanks for the tips especially for dried beans! I'm going to look into stores where I can buy beans in bulk! I have a ton of mason jars... In my cupboards I have some lazy susans so I pack those shelves like there's no tomorrow #ijs
I have a lot of spices too!!! I think I am a crazy spice lady but I love them all. Love your idea for using amazon boxes. Thanks for the great ideas you are so awesome!!!
try making your own oat milk! It is so easy and tastes 1000% better than storebought stuff with all the additives in it. Just blend oats with water and vanilla and a little sweetener if you like it that way, and then strain it through a nut milk bag.
I’m going to go on Amazon to stock up on pantry items I can’t find in store. Whole grains and baking items. Buckwheat and cacao powder and things like that we don’t carry here in my small town of Nova Scotia. Sometimes it’s hard to follow certain recipes when your just starting out and can’t find everything you need. I’m gonna give that a try before I get started so that way I’m not spending 300 dollars in one grocery trip lol 😂
Great vid...but I think my back went out a little watching you jump up to close your cabinet door, lol...maybe you can add a pull chain to it...also lower some of your shelves to make more accessible from a step stool...I'm just throwing ideas out there, really like your channel ☺
You're already doing this I can see with the pasta sauce jars but reusing jars to put your pantry items into. To get the labels off, usually you can soak them in water for like an hour and they rub off easily.
Great video :) Thanks, Candace! My Grandmother, used to always put a potato in her cooking beans if she hadn't had a chance to soak them, and then would toss out the potato. The theory, is that the potato would absorb the "gassy" compounds of the beans. Have you heard of this, or tried this?
I love pantry videos but they are also bad for me since they give me ideas of what I want to still add to my ever growing pantry stash. :) I live in an apartment and always find kitchen storage to be lacking so I've had to get a little creative to store all the pantry items and spices. My spices are organized in slim slid out pantries, one between my refrigerator and counter (useless space no more) and one sits next to a bakers rack. The slide out pantries are on rollers so it's super easy to roll it out and find the needed spice. From the side of the bakers rack is a hanging shoe organizer that has mason jars and small bags of pantry food items (beans, lentils, nuts, seeds, etc). But, now that I've got that all worked out and organized it seems to me that I need to make notes from your video of what I still need to add but I may need another hanging shoe organizer. :D
Gardein used to make these little fake chicken sliders that were so tasty, but they seem to have disappeared. Canada has some weird import laws about things that are classified as "meat substitutes."
Staples are a must. Then you get carried away. Yep. That's me. But I do use it all. I figure if I get enough of a staple pantry built I don't have to shop for anything except maybe fresh produce. LOL Oh, and my spice/seasoning/herb selection rivals yours easily. LOL Master Herbalist here so I add all sorts of herbs to my cooking. :)
I’m trying to stay away from soy because I think it aggravates my rosacea but eves vegan bologna & gardein chicken tenders in my air fryer are so good...that better than bullion is awesome also!!! I’m going to start making seitan for different “meats” 😁
That’s why I’m getting rid of cabinets and putting in drawers in my kitchen. Gone will be the days of getting a step stool or bending over to look into a dark cupboard. 😉
I used to keep my pantry stocked like this 😂😂 Being on a budget mage me meal plan so now I don't stock as much. But I miss being able to make whatever I want whenever I want 😂
You have to soak chickpeas and throw away the water before you cook them in fresh water. Uncooked chickpeas should never be boiled with the water they're soaked in (they're a bit poisenous)
I disagree w/ the gardein brand of imitation meats. I tried their chick'n tenders ..... And I did not like them at all. I find morning star, Boca, beyond meat, quorn, Paul McCartney's late wife's brand to be much better. Also have u tried gram flour omlette or scramble ?!!! Also known as split chickpea lentil (bésan: bay-sun in Indian) ???? It's sooo good. Simultaneously u can use chickpea bean flour . These flours are also used to create batters for deep frying and baking. as well as a binder in baking !!! And even used in ayurvedic skincare !!
This is cool. A good follow-up might be a standard grocery list and what to make from it if you were starting from zero (either transitioning into being vegan or even just moving to a new place, ect.).

And as far as spices, go to a bulk spice store (Penzy’s, Spice House) and get small amounts to keep it budget friendly!
I'm using my Better Than Boullion jars for sprouting seeds. I put about a tablespoon of mixed seeds in a clean jar and add water. Change the water daily until they start to sprout, then just rinse them daily as they grow. I store them in the fridge for a couple of days and add them to salads, bean dishes, wraps, etc.
Also, a roll of contact paper is great for labels that are easy to change. Ther is even chalkboard and dry erase now.
Can you do a video on how you cook your beans & lentils in an instapot?
Jillian Peterson yes!! I vote for an instant pot series!! I am debating on getting one.
It is also really easy to cook beans in a rice cooker as well, if you already have one. If not, Amazon has them for around $20. Totally worth the money! I am constantly using mine!

Your organizational skills give me LIFE. Love this
I just got an instapot from my sister for Christmas. Learning how to use it, and just made white chili with jackfruit. Yummy!
Store spices alphabetically. Makes them easier to find. I just might have a few more than you😊
I love Gardien but I love Field Roast a little more.

Transitioning to vegan has opened up a fascinating world.
Lol that spice collection. I FEEL THAT SO HARD. I had to buy additional shelves for all of my pantry staples and appliances 😬😬
Thanks for your awesome kitchen tour! I love peanut butter and Nutella too :-P Please do a video on appliances for a vegan kitchen!!
Thanks for sharing this video. I'm slowly getting my pantry in order.
Very balanced vegan grocery haul. I love your variety of foods!!
Wow we have very similar pantries. I've been making my own soy milk and oat milk and it's so much better than store bought and cuts down on carton waste. I would love to see your appliance collection!

Yep..I switched to oat milk for the last month now....💁🌻Next level pantry...😁🧡💛🧡
I find it's the only milk I can have with my coffee now and thrilled that my picky eaters at home like it

Thk u for saying Turmeric correctly!! 🙏
This is such a great look into a complete vegan pantry!
Ps. Silken tofu is also best in Asian soups like Thai vegetable soup, Korean spicy tofu soup.
I agree 100%!
I feel you in the oils, I currently have 9 different kinds haha, also that spice collection is amazing!!
Gurlllll... you are bomb! Loved this little quirky, informative video, great for newbies too 😍👌 great stuff!!

What size jars are you using to store your beans? Id like to order some :)
MELT is the best Vegan butter!!
Literally my dream kitchen 😍😍

You should do some instant pot recipes!
"Instant Pot is bae" haha lmao so true 🤣🤣🤣
OMG du erinnerst mich so an Kim Kitsch von So geht das und Meghan Rienks
I didn't think anyone out there had more spices than me. 😂 Great video. Thanks!
finally, someone else who uses medium tofu for scrambles👍👍
IT'S THE ONLY WAY
HONESTLY
How does the consistency compare to the firm tofu?
Agnar150 Agnar nothing wrong with that
what do you use vanilla salt for?
Whereeeeee in Toronto do you find Better Than Bouillon jars?! Been looking for a year and a half!
Love that this video let me low key creep your kitchen/gorgeous condo ;) also BETTER THAN BOULLION BEEF BROTH IS AMAZING.
Would love an appliances video!
Noticed you had Tofurkey deli slices yum!. Those we have in Australia. I LOVE tofu too.
Just in time for Veganuary!!!

Also, have you tried the JUST vegan egg?
I haven't been able to get my hands on it yet! This brand of vegan Nutella was Nutiva, but there are a few out there :)
