The Essential Supplies for Your Brisbane Kitchen

To get the most out of your Brisbane kitchen, having the right supplies is an absolute must. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to cook in a kitchen that lacks the tools for the job! You’ll need the essential supplies for: 

  • Food preparation
  • Cooking  
  • Serving food

Top Food Preparation Supplies for Your Brisbane Kitchen 

When it comes to food preparation, there are some fundamental kitchen tools that you can’t live without. 

A Sharp Set of Knives

If you enjoy cooking in any form, you’ll need a good set of knives to work with. There’s no need to suffer through using a blunt knife that doesn’t get the job done! Having the right knife makes all the difference – from slicing bread, to cutting up meat and vegetables.

Interested in buying Australian-made products? Explore your regional markets and craft fairs to discover local service providers. 

Chopping Boards

You’ll need several chopping boards, one each for: 

  • Vegetables
  • Salads & fruits
  • Raw meat
  • Raw fish
  • Garlic & onion

If you’d like to expand your collection of chopping boards, consider seeking out a provider of beautiful, handcrafted wooden chopping boards. Not only are they wonderful to work with, they can also double as rustic serving platters!

Tools & Utensils

Some essential utensils in the kitchen include: 

  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowls and jugs
  • Can opener
  • Vegetable peeler
  • Grater
  • Blender
  • Food processor
  • Mixing spoons 
  • Spatula and fish slice

How often do Australians use cooking utensils? A 2013 study published in the Journal of Culinary Science & Technology found that high utensil usage was related to:
