5 must haves for a minimalist kitchen

If you love a simple and chic setting and are into the zero-waste lifestyle, you will love these recommendations.

Minimalists tend to cut down use of multiple items from every aspect of their lives, which is why they must have multi-purpose items which can compensate for the rest. This way of life is fast catching up, and we have just the best picks for a minimalist kitchen.

Mixing bowls

This is probably one of the most underrated items in a kitchen. Whether you need to mix batter or melt chocolate on a double boiler, mixing bowls are the perfect pick. They can also be used as mould to cut a cake into a round shape and are great for use as a cereal bowl. You can not only whisk things in this bowl or use it as a mould, it can also be used to serve food in because it is efficient is holding heat for a while in comparison to other materials.

Stock pot

If you love one pot recipes just like all minimalists, this one is a great bargain. Ditch multiple pots of different shapes and sizes and instead stick to a large sized stock pot. From boiling your pastas to cooking delicious stew, this one is an all time favourite.

Cutting board

No matter what you ditch in the process of becoming a minimalist, cutting board is an essential part of the kitchen. Get a thin yet sturdy composite wood cutting board and use it not only for chopping vegetables but also as a base for serving food to guests. Its dual usage can be extremely beneficial if you want to avoid the use of trays to serve food on.

Spoons

It may seem that you can’t do without spoons, but choosing the right ones can save you space and money, making your kitchen look clutter-free. Instead of having different types of spoons for different purposes an easy choice is to get serving spoons. These are neither too big in size to make you look awkward while you take a bite and are neither too small to eat dinner out of. They are just the perfect shape and size to serve all purposes.

Dutch oven

From caramelization to simmering soups and even baking bread, this is a sure pick for all minimalists. Just ensure that the enamel doesn’t come off easily, so you definitely need to get one from a renowned brand. You can almost cook away anything in this oven, whether it’s sweets, bread or even soups.
