Having got married in a time when Target did not have a wedding registry, we ended up like most couples with 2 or 3 punch bowls and several things that are nice to have, but you just not sure when you will ever use them. On the other hand, my friend got married when Target had just come out with it's registry. To say that she went wild is about right. The interesting part is that even though she asked for things, she actually got them. What is interesting about this is that she asked for several things that she realized later that she had no idea when she would ever use them as she had never used them before getting married and several of those items were for the Kitchen. :)
So what does a beginner need in the Kitchen to get started? Here is my basic list.
- Cutting board
- 2 knives
- 1 crock pot
- 1 set of measuring spoons
- 1 set of measuring cups
- 2 mixing bowls
- 1 strainer
- 1 grater
- 2 cooking pots
- 1 frying pan
- 1 mixer
- 1 pair of oven mitts
- 2 kitchen towel
- 1 serving fork
- 2 spatulas (one to flip and one made of rubber to scrape)
- 1 basting brush
- 1 baking sheet
- 2 baking pans (one 8 x 8 and one 9 x 13)
- 1 set of silverware, including steak knives
There are lots of more things to get, but this will get you started without pulling out your hair :) The important part for now is not to worry about buying the newest and the best. There are lots of other items I love, but they are not essential to make a basic yummy home cooked meal. By the way, I have gotten a lot of these items used.
