  • Soon to be renting my first ever place on my own. Starting pretty much from scratch due to end of relationship so want to invest in some good basics for food prep and enjoying time in the kitchen. Birthday and Christmas lists will be kitchen focussed.

    What are the hive minds recommendations for:

    Kettle - quiet and fast
    Pan sets - steel, long lasting
    Frying pan - thinking 2, one heavy bottom pan, one lighter
    Slow cooker
    Air fryer - necessary for solo life?
    Blender
    Food processor
    Decent bottle opener also a must

    Any life saving utensils etc people can’t live without?

  • Slow cooker

    Air fryer - necessary for solo life?

    You can get a slow cooker, pressure cooker, air fryer all in one.

    Personally I find a pressure cooker more useful than slow cooker. They are a bit bulky though.

    I have Circulon Infinite saucepans. Had them for 10 years and still in really good condition.

    Kettle is probably quiet or fast. I've got a russell hobbs rapid boil https://www.argos.co.uk/product/2137074 which is quiet in theory but not so much in reality. It is quick though and you can use it for boiling small amounts.

    Do you really need a blender and food processor. Obviously slightly different purposes but a fair few of the functions overlap.

    Other obvious thing is knives.
