Kitchen Essentials

A number of web sites with lists of basic kitchen essentials are available.

http://www.sallyskitchen.com/html/equipment_list.html

Texts also provide lists of essential kitchen equipment.

The Kitchen Essentials Assignment requires students to examine three different sources for lists of essential kitchen equipment.  Students will fill in the chart with list items, identifying essentials that are common to all three sources.  They will also identify those items not common to all three sources that they consider essential for their own kitchens.

As an extension of this activity, students may be asked to price the essential items to determine the total cost of equipping the basic kitchen.  Students could visit local stores or consult catalogues for pricing information.
