Kitchen Registry Ideas

GreenPan Ceramic Pans – All of our pans are ceramic pans because we love them, but if you want to start with just a few, I would get their egg pan, 8″ and 10″ skillet set and a 2 qt sauce pan          

And then we also love our ceramic muffin tins & baking trays – especially for meal prepping egg breakfasts.  

This set of measuring cups and spoons is wonderful because it includes so many sizes.  

Measuring Cups – I like to use this Oxo 2-cup plastic one with the internal measuring lines for getting water from the faucet & then I like the Pyrex 4 Cup glass one for when I need to measure out multiple cups of something at a time.  For measuring 1 cup & under, I use the metal set of measuring cups above.  

Metal Mixing Bowls – I like the light weight nature & nesting of metal mixing bowls.

Silicone Spoons & Spatulas – the silicone gets the edges of the pan better because it’s a little flexible and the one piece aspect makes them super easy to clean as well.  

Tongs – You’ll use them all the time for both grilling & frying – this pair has held up for years and years.  

Vegetable Peeler & Pasta-er – Ok, so it’s really called a Julienne peeler, but you’re gonna use it to make zucchini into pasta, so I call it the pasta-er

Glass Cutting Board – I know it sounds weird but I love my glass cutting boards.  The glass surface is non-porous so it’s super hygienic and easy to clean. 

Set of 3 Stainless Steel Colanders – Could you get by with one large one, probably.  But I like to have different sizes so that I can use one close in size to what I’m using it for.  

Brita Water Filter – I like this one because it holds more water than the handheld ones.  Also, did you know they now make filters you only have to replace every 6 months?  

Meat Thermometers – Ok, so I have a regular thermometer with temperatures, but I never use it since I don’t know what temperature different meats are supposed to get to just by looking at it.  So instead I use these little thermometers all the time, because the temperature I’m going for is already marked for me.  

Nice to Haves – These are things that are nice to have if you enjoy cooking…

Mandoline Slicer – Makes slicing things like potatoes, carrots, cucumbers, etc. super fast & easy.

Grater & Peeler, Lemon Zester – I like this hand held set because they can be stored in a drawer.  

OXO Good Grips Ground Meat Chopper – If you cook ground anything on the regular, you need one of these.  It’s odd, I have no idea why it works, but once you use it, you’ll never use a spatula for cooking ground meat again.  

Fancy Wine Opener – if you enjoy wine, you really do want a bottle opener that pulls the cork out for you, it’s a simple thing that will make each glass taste just a little nicer. 

Whisks Set – We only ended up keeping the largest & the smallest of these because those are the two we ended up using, but at this price, you might as well start with the 4 and see what sizes best suit your cooking style.
