EN:Kitchenware

Kitchenware is an umbrella term for all kitchen equipment: utensils, cookware, devices, appliances, and small tools used to prepare, serve, and store food.

This category includes pots, pans, roasting pans, baking tins, cutlery, plates, glasses, food processors, blenders, grinders, scales, thermometers, cutting boards, graters, colanders, ladles, and specialized tools for specific preparation methods, such as woks, tagines, tortilla presses, and ravioli makers.

The choice of kitchenware depends on the type of cooking and how often it is done. For a basic home setup, a set of good-quality pots, two frying pans—one of them nonstick—a knife set, a cutting board, and a few basic tools may be sufficient. Professional kitchens require a much wider range.
