What are your favourite and/or most used kitchen items?
For me, it would probably have to be my Bialetti moka pot and Dualit toaster. I make a pot of coffee and toast almost every morning. I also hope to replace my old pans with a cast iron one soon, and I look forward to using that a lot.
I own very expensive knives. I bought them when I was single and had a good income. I have taken very good care of them and they are great knives to this day.
The first knife I always reach for is my $15 Chinese cleaver.
I don't have super expensive knives, but I have a couple decent steel ones and a couple good ceramics, and I still go for my caidao first for almost everything.
