No matter if it's your first apartment or you just want to make updates in an existing home, having a list of essential kitchen essentials is crucial for successful living. A checklist from Georgetown Moving and Storage Company's experts has come together with this essential list for kitchen essentials for new apartments.
An essential part of any kitchen is having all of the standard cooking and eating utensils available, including plates, flatware, glasses or mugs for yourself and any guests you might entertain. In addition, non-stick pans may make cleanup easier while having reusable glass straws handy can come in handy if you enjoy sipping cold beverages from time to time.
There are countless kitchen gadgets on the market, but for someone starting out in their own apartment it is best to limit themselves to basic tools for now. By buying only essential ones you will save yourself money in the long run while learning how to cook efficiently within their new space.
As an alternative to investing in an expensive blender, consider investing in a basic hand-held model capable of both smoothie making and collapsible colander and strainer use for saving space on your kitchen counter. A reusable cutting board might also come in handy; its easy cleaning makes it a good alternative to expensive wood cutting boards which may prove hard to sanitize and more importantly can become pricey over time.
