What are the top 5 non-food "must haves" in your kitchen?

Hey Sandypaw, when are you leaving? To answer you.

1. Serrated knife, chef's knife and paring knife.

2. Cast Iron Skillet, Cast iron pot, and dutch oven.

3. Baking trays, Muffins, cupcakes, cakes, baking sheets Roasting pans.

4. KITCHENAID mixer with all the added attachments.

5. Food Processor, Blender, and my old style Milk shake/thick shake maker

Those are the five besides the metal measuring cups, and spoons. But the most important thing I think we have all omitted, is the modern day stove, which has made life easy.

Fleet Foxes - Helplessness Blues Real Estate - Days Grails - Deep Politics Radio Moscow - The Great Escape Of Leslie Magnafuzz Black Lips - Arabia Mountain

My paring knife is what I use the most, and no one touches it under penalty of something really bad.

I also have this round rubber thing that is flat and shaped like a large flour, it comes in so handy opening jars so I don't have to struggle, it's been a life saver.

Glass pie plates, since I cook for two I can fit 4 of these in the oven and cook everything at once, and they clean up easy.

Paper cupcake/muffin things. I use those a lot.

A first aid kit. I'm kind of clutzy around hot things so stand back, I might splash.
