OK – this list really got me thinking – and I have now noticed that not only do I need Sharpies & Ice Cube Trays – but also I need to read Lynn’s book asap! I swear by the microplane, a great chef’s knife with cutting board and, yes, the immersion blender. Obviously, I spend way too much time in the kitchen *LOL*

Oh, yes, the electric kettle! Couldn’t live without it! Well, I could, but I wouldn’t want to!

You are right Caite – a fire extinguisher is essential – espeically if I am involved!

Good point Chris. I’m always thinking of ways to cover the burnt smell of my cooking efforts. Proper cooks would want to highlight the aroma of their delicious dishes.

Thanks Jill! I’m sure you will find lots more to enjoy in Lynn’s book.

hmm… I use kosher salt…close enough. I use parchment paper and deal with the curling. But speaking about sheets, I recently bought a box of aluminum foils sheets instead of a roll at Sam’s Club and I love them!
I own, but rarely use, several aprons. Personally I also think you are better off having a small fire extinguisher in the kitchen instead of those candles.

I can see Sharpies as kitchen tools. I’m always losing mine though. I think if I was to keep candles for the kitchen they would be unscented. Too many kitchen smells might bother the guests.

Ah – my hubby came to me very well trained! Truly, he is the only essential thing I need in the kitchen ;0)

Sharpie check, apron check, icecream scoop check but it sucks, candles check, scissors check, parchment check…..rushing out tomorrow to purchase the rest of the items… check check check.
Now, where can I get the other essential item, a guy to do the cooking? I have an electric kettle (I’m a Brit) and I love love love it!!!!!
