What Kitchen Essentials Should a Bachelor Have?

[krzymomof4]

My brother has been out on his own for awhile and pretty much eats out of boxes. He does cook on occasion and really isn't bad at it. His girlfriend left him, so now he is back on his own. The girls in my family have turned him onto PC, but he is only into the spices right now. We are trying to get him to stock his kitchen with things that he needs. His girlfriend took almost everything when she moved out!
What list would you create for bachelors of the can't do without PC things for their kitchens. I told him I was going to make him a list, but he doesn't want to buy a bunch of things he would not use since he doesn't cook very often.
What would be on your list?????
