There are many great kitchen tools for beginners, but some top choices are a chef's knife, cutting board, measuring cups and spoons, a non-stick skillet, and a baking sheet.
To maintain the non-stick surface of your cookware, avoid using metal utensils and harsh cleaning products. Instead, use wooden or silicone utensils and mild dish soap to clean. Also, avoid using high heat, as this can damage the non-stick coating.
The best way to sharpen knives is by using a sharpening stone. Wet the stone and hold the knife at a 20-degree angle, then run the blade back and forth across the stone until sharp.
To choose the right size baking dish, look at the recipe's serving size and the recommended pan size. A general rule is to use a dish that is 2 inches deep for casseroles and 1 inch deep for cakes and brownies.
The best way to store fresh herbs is by wrapping them in a damp paper towel and placing them in a sealed plastic bag in the refrigerator. Alternatively, you can chop them and freeze them in an ice cube tray with a little water or olive oil.
