Kitchen Utensils

Types of Kitchen Utensils

There are a few must-have items in your kitchen, and a great selection of kitchen utensils is definitely one of them. Whether you’re after something specific, or looking for a kitchen utensil set to cover all bases, we’ve got everything you need; plus all the clever bits of kit you never knew you needed!

Spoons and Ladles

Every kitchen is different, but we’d hazard a guess that the most-used utensil in almost every kitchen is a good old wooden spoon. You’ll find plenty of those in our selection, as well as ladles for soup, slotted spoons for boiled of poached eggs, and plenty of silicon spoons which can be popped straight in the dishwasher. From stirring sauces to folding flour into your baking projects, you won’t get far in your kitchen creating without some spoons.

Whisks

From beating eggs for a breakfast omelette or a light & fluffy meringue, to mixing batter or stirring sauces, a good whisk goes a long way. There are balloon whisks to help incorporate air into your ingredients, flat whisks, egg beaters, and more to help you create in the kitchen. These are great to use with a mixing bowl, but if you’re worried about damaging your non-stick pots & pans, there’s silicon versions too!

Spatulas

If you want to get every last drop out of your bowls or pans, a silicon spatula is your best friend! Ideal for cakes, incorporating dry ingredients into wet, or making sure nothing sticks to the bottom of your saucepan, we’ve got spatulas in various sizes and colours to suit your kitchen including small spatulas for milk pans and large ones for batch cooking.

Kitchen Utensil Features

Deciding on the spoons, whisks, ladles and other utensils you need depends on what you love doing in the kitchen, though you’re almost certainly going to need all of them at some point! This is where a kitchen utensils set comes in incredibly handy, as it gives you everything you need in a handy package – especially useful if you’re going away to uni and need a quick fix to fill your drawers.

The most popular kitchen utensils are made from wood, metal, or silicon. Wooden utensils are durable and classic, and a wooden spoon has plenty of uses in the kitchen. For heavier use, a metal utensil makes sense, especially when it comes to mashers as you don’t want anything that bends easily. They can also withstand heat to a higher degree than wood. However, metal utensils can sometimes damage pots & pans, so silicon spoons and spatulas are a safer bet to use with those!
