I’ve found that there are items I need for my kitchen that are either companion items (go with something else) or are useful on an occasional basis. I keep this list updated with new kitchen tools that I’ve used, and so I recommend them for your kitchen as well.
Bread Slicer
Why you might need a Folding Bread Slicer
- Once you start baking your own bread, you’ll find that cutting uniform slices is tough to do
- Having a folding bread slicer lets you store it conveniently without a lot of fuss
- The plastic dividers are flexible and won’t break like wooden ones will
Holder
Why you might need a Cake and Cupcake Holder
- It’s hard to move a cake or a bunch of cupcakes at one time without a good holder
- You’ll want to cover cakes and cupcakes to keep them fresh
- The flat top allows you to store other foods on top of the holder, if you store your cake or cupcakes in the refrigerator
- You can easily whisk your cake off to parties or events using the convenient handle
Deviled Egg Dish
Why you might need a Deviled Egg Dish
- Because, eventually, you’ll make deviled eggs
- It is hard to store and serve deviled eggs
- You’ll need a sturdy dish that holds at least 24 eggs (remember one dozen eggs times 2)
- You’ll want to serve your deviled eggs in a nice serving dish
Why you might want a Bread Keeper
- Once you start making your own bread, you’ll need somewhere to store it
- You’ll want to keep the bread fresh but away from flies and other pests
- You’ll want something that expands for those long loaves you do in loaf pans
- You’ll want something easy to clean
Why you might need a dish towel rack
- Because you’re always looking for a place to hang disc towels
- It’s decorative
- It easily hangs on a cabinet door
- Comes in several colors
Why you might want some decent wine glasses

- Beautiful design

Why you need food containers
