>>10397153
That's not what essential means at all

>>10397234
>cast iron frying pan

a stove

ice cream maker

>>10397242

Not if you want your food cooked properly. I wouldn't trust my wife to boil water.

>>10397540
misogynist much?

>>10397587
Yes. So what? All rational people come to realize what women are like.

>>10397435
Yes. A cast iron frying pan.

>>10397153
If you've never made pasta be an hero.

>>10397589
Sounds like some harpy rejected your "good guy" points when you went to cash in, eh?

>>10397435
Yeah, u are one big dummy.

>>10397540
Is she a 10 or very rich?

surprised nobody has mentioned the humble spoon yet.
it's all memegadgets so far

Bread machine

>>10397153

>>10397153
You don't need a pasta roller to make pasta though.

>>10397949
so true.
soups, sauces, smoothies
fuckin anything. As useful as a conventional blender without the bullshit.

Doesn't beat a vitamix but I don't have one at home either way

>>10397153
Kinda want. Doubt I’ll use.

>>10397234
>>10397482
>>10397854
And to contribute, a big ole mixing bowl

>>10397949
>turbo
I like all-clad, but they do some shitty things.

>>10397153
I need a new fucking pasta roller. My husband stole mine to use in his foundry for rolling hot wax and soft metals, and now it's too toxic for me to steal back. I may just get the pasta accessory for my Kitchen-Aid instead, so it takes up less counter space. My old one was an Atlas that's like your pic.

>>10398824
Are you gay?

>>10398847
No. Are you?

This bad boy, also:
Any one of you guys know where I can get the classical spice grinders for salt and pepper and other shit? Just plain empty ones.

>>10398914
Amazon or any kitchen supply store. They even have them at Target, I think.
I used to work in a fancy pants kitchen store, and we sold all kinds and brands of salt, pepper, and spice grinders. Old Thompson aren't overpriced and are quite reliable, but if you don't mind paying a bit more for better quality, I always liked Peugeot. A set of 2 classic grinders from Peugeot will cost between $70 - $100 depending on the model. Old Thompson is between $30 -$80 depending on the model. Also, if you check stores like Homegoods, TJMaxx, and other discount housewares stores, you can sometimes find both those brands on sale.

>>10398076
would they work for mashed potatoes?

>>10397159
Fpbp

>>10399072
That would give you a really fucked up gluey mess. Get a potato ricer.

Citrus spritzer

>>10398914
Where do you use that? Metal tools will ruin the interior of your pots.

>>10397445
I LOVE YOU KITCHEN GUN

few things I'm surprised haven't been mentioned yet: cutting board, vegetable peeler (get a speed-peeler. they're better), rolling pin, pepper cracker, a mortar & pestle, & something to sharpen your knives with

if you like having a nice wine with dinner, or have the occasional party with people who enjoy wine, a wide-bottomed decanter can be a good investment

>>10397159
What is this thing? Who needs a chainsaw that small?

>>10400567
I want to say that is for ice carving but maybe for cutting through bones?

>>10400567
its called the bill of rights not bill of needs

>>10400604
soibois get chainsaws now too so cute

>>10397153
Never tried rolling my pastas but they come out just fine unrolled. Wouldn't that just crumble your pastas? I don't want powdered spaghetties or macaronies.

>>10397234
Scratch cast iron frying pan
Insert good cutting board.

>>10397242
You think you'll find one here?

>>10400519
Cutting board, yes. The rest is not essential, just good practice.

>>10400625
being this fucking retarded

>>10400625
only if your pasta dough is dry shitcakes

>>10400678
You can't fry eggs on a cutting board.

>>10397698
>>10397623
>>10397816
A stainless steel pan can do anything a cast iron can do, and more.

>>10400759
Use the dutch oven.

>>10400717
>>10400718

>>10400828
It's basically a pot, the sides are too high. It's impractical. Sure, you could, but it's way easier to use a proper skillet.

measuring cups (dry/wet)
measuring spoons
frypan (carbon steel, cast iron, no fucking teflon)
saucepan
stockpot
knives (chef's, paring, boning, serrated)
cutting board
mixing bowls
whisk
peeler
zester
paddle grater (only fags use box grater)
wooden spoon
ladle
food processor
toaster oven
kitchen shears
spatula
stand mixer
tongs
colander
masher
dutch oven
baking pans (loaf, 3x3, 9x13, springform)

>>10399510
This would get the citrus into those hard to reach areas.

>>10400519
Why the fuck would you need a pepper cracker if you have a mortar and pestle? Isn't that redundant?

>>10401462
>frypan
It's called a saute pan you slack jawed yokel.

>>10402013
Sure, it is technically redundant. But freshly ground pepper is used so often that it's not unreasonable to have a dedicted tool for it. Not to mention that a peppermill can be used at the table, whereas it's a bit impractical to use a mortar for that.

>>10398824

I have an Atlas that I use constantly but the kitchen aid attachment is really dope.

I didn't think I would use a Dutch Oven very often.

But once I got a nice, heavy cast-iron and enamel one, I noticed I use it all the time.

Get a Lodge for best value, or a Le Creuset for best overall and heirloom quality.

brush for egg wash

gotta make challah the right way

learn to actually roll pasta with a mattarello. Pasta roller is for youtube-cook-watching stay-at-home moms

>>10403267
Don't be stupid.

>>10400567
Arborists. They climb trees with ropes and need to be able to reach out and work with just one hand.

>>10397170
>own kitchenaid standmixer
>didn't buy the pasta attachments
what on earth

>>10397153

All I need is

>Chefs knife
>Cutting board
>Cast iron skillet
>Tongs
>Spatula

that's it bitches

>>10403547
That pic clearly depicts it being used by two hands.

>>10397159
I too use power tools in the kitchen. I've noticed the inpact wrench is pretty usefull for opening cans. Especially if you're in the middle of a race and need to make a quick pit stop for a can of beans or something.

>>10397445
quintescential american cuisine item

>>10405119
Yeah because obviously it will fail to function if your hand isn't touching the handle

>>10400717
>>10400718
That was obviously a joke. Simmer down, losers.

>>10402347
Does the enamel change the characteristics compared to just iron?

>>10405490
enamel doesn't rust, guaranteed to provide no irony taste (which I guess some people complain about but I've never noticed), and is fine for acidic foods (which people generally recommend against in cast iron, although is okay in moderation). On the flip side, the enamel can chip so it's less durable, and the enamel doesn't provide a non-stick coating the way that a well-seasoned cast iron does.

>>10402017
probably means skillet, actually. this is a saute pan.

someone recommend a really gud knife for under $50

>>10405720
a $200 knife that you find used from a highly motivated seller who doesn't know about ebay for some reason

>>10400681
Isn't everyone on this board a woman?

>>10403554
The pasta attachments aren't great. The most basic one is $80 and the full set is like $300. For $300 you could buy another stand mixer AND two legit ass handrollers

knife, stainless steel pan, tongs, heat source, a decent sized pot, cutting board, etc.

pasta roller isn't essential, just use a fucking rolling pin. if the italians did it for centuries, why can't you?
