If you’ve ever moved into a place with nothing, then you know firsthand how overwhelming, expensive, and frustrating it can be to pick out basic kitchen tools. And if you’ve ever thrown a bunch of utensils into a cart just to be able to make dinner that night, you also know that those items don’t always last in the long run.

1. GREAT KNIVES ARE ESSENTIAL

Having excellent knives that slice and dice vegetables and meat with ease can make life SO MUCH easier in the kitchen. Not only can you prepare a meal quicker, but you’re more likely to feel encouraged to experiment with new recipes.

Because there are many levels to cooking, this first kitchen essential includes two options and a solution for keeping your knives sharp. FYI, in a perfect kitchen setting, you would own all three.

And P.S., you do not have to be a serious cook to appreciate its grace.

6. PRECUT PARCHMENT PAPER IS LIFE-CHANGING!

The guessing and cutting that comes with using parchment paper when cooking is time-consuming and ANNOYING. While precut paper may cost a tiny bit more, you’re actually saving paper and money in the long run because you’re no longer guesstimating. So, yes, this is absolutely a unique kitchen essential!

7. HEALTHY DRINKING WATER IS ESSENTIAL

Having a reverse osmosis water filtration system in your kitchen removes contaminants from your drinking water such as pesticides, bacteria, chlorine, arsenic, heavy metals, fluoride, and much more. It can be installed underneath the sink, and filters should be changed every six months.

Forbes magazine rated the APEC Reverse Osmosis Filtration System the best overall drinking water filter system on the market.

Doesn’t a Brita water filter pitcher do the same thing?

NO. Brita filters focus on removing chlorine, mercury, copper, and zinc, leaving your water vulnerable to other contaminants.
