    He says the non-stick pan is great for searing food, but searing requires high heat, and non-stick pans coatings are not stable at high temperatures required for that kind of cooking. This can damage the coating but also leech of chemicals. The product in the link itself says these particular pans are safe up to 260C which will be safe for most oven cooking but probably not broiling. But for searing something like a steak, it will be hotter than that and damage the coating. So it isn't good for all types of cooking. Also, detachable handles may be convenient, but I've also if it becomes loose or something it becomes a major hazard if you're moving hot food and it lets go. Personally, I wouldn't trust the detachable handles. As someone else mentioned, stacking them is also a no-no unless you put something like parchment paper between. As for knives, good points made, 3 is really all anyway needs unless you're regularly filleting fish or something specialized. Cutting boards, acacia is one of the best wood options available, and as someone else mentioned, it's better to use a different type of oil for maintaining it. Some would argue you should have a plastic board for meat since wooden boards are difficult to sterilize, and plastic boards can be fully sanitized and cleaned without damaging them, and can be disposed of when they get to rough shape. I like the bowl/strainer set, it's a really nice and functional set. However, since it's a sort of plastic, depending on your type of cooking, you can't use it over a bain-marie if you want to make something like a hollandaise sauce, which is why I like some glass & metal bowls. Very cool nesting utensils set, but like the pans, if you do high heat cooking, they could melt on you (I have had this happen with similar types of utensils). I'd instead recommend silicone utensils as they are higher heat resistant, and I've found them easier to clean as they are non-stick themselves. You can get sets for a reasonable price on amazon that come with a storage jar which would have a similar footprint in your kitchen.

    I have cristel cookware which uses a different mechanism for the detachable handles. I have no real concern that they'll fail on me although I guess I'm a bit less confident about actually holding a large vessel by a long handle and shaking it about. Anyway, the highest quality line is indeed very good quality, the lower-quality lines are less so, obv. But this stuff is expensive (made in france)... I bought my set on ebay so it was highly discounted (probably a store display model or something). Replaced my otherwise-similarly-constructed cuisinart multiclad pro. I keep some corningware pyroceram around, too. It'll break if you drop it but it won't shatter from thermoshock, and some of these also have detachable handles.

    Wooden boards are as porous as the plastic ones so they carry the same amount of bacteria, and you can easily sand them off if they get too damaged. Plus, you can sterilize them by spraying 1 part white vinegar and 3 parts water. Plus, you can easily get rid of odors by sprinkling salt and rubbing with half of a lemon. And if you are still determined to toss one in the garbage, they are compostable. Best boards to use, by far.

    best materials for your kitchen. Stainless steel and cast iron for pots and pans(mixing, baking, straining etc just in case you need to heat or chill something during prep) and eating utensils; wood and silicone for cooking utensils and chip resistant glassware for dishes and drinking vessels. Invest in attractive, functional, durable items and you will never have to spend for them again. Ask yourself before you buy, Do I need this? How often will I use it? Is there something else I can use instead? Save yourself the one hundred and one varieties of the same item that creates a maddening clutter you can never seem to get rid of. Not to mention the hundreds of dollars wasted on things you only end up using once or twice that take up space in your kitchen........ and other places in your house.....😒 experience talking.

I prefer a stainless outer body with a high quality non stick interior and riveted handles there are other styles that work. The most important thing is the quality of the interior. Cuisinart makes a good one for less than 20 bucks at Home Depot. If you have a local restaurant supply store they usually have two packs of good commercial quality pans fairly cheap. Restaurant supply is also a good place to find a lot of great kitchen stuff you may not even know you need. Also, check out Ross. I have found some amazing deals on really high quality cookware in there. For regular cooking look for 18/10 or better stainless with an aluminum core and riveted handles.

    Great video! I will look for those pans with the detachable handle. As a woodworker I would just add on suggestion. On the cutting boards or any wooden surface that comes in contact with food (I make wooden bowls), I would suggest using food-safe mineral oil. Food-safe means it is not an industrial oil that may have contaminates. Also, some oils like olive oil can become rancid over time. Mineral oil will not spoil. Not that big a deal because usually even if oil becomes rancid, not enough oil will get into food to make you sick, and cooking kills any bacteria. But, to be on the safe side it is best to use mineral oil.

Its about only owning the stuff you need. I don't drink coffee so I don't own a coffee maker. Does that mean I say people that do aren't minimalists? Some people are happy owning as little as 30 things. I also reevaluate what I need and declutter from time to time, but I will never match those 30 things. Yet I'm still a minimalist.

If that's something that genuinely makes them happy and they deem necessary then it can still be minimalistic, minimalist just means cutting the crap out you don't need or that don't serve a purpose. You may not NEED physical books but if they make you happy they serve a purpose in your home.

Like u, I have one of everything in utensils but for cooking: I have a perforated spoon, scooping spoon, tongs - can u be used for almost everything, silicone spatula use for mixing and pancakes, 4 butter knives, 6 sporks, 4 spoons, 4 forks. Family is not ready to give up forks and spoons over sporks. I use my ‘ball’ jars as drink ware and use with the lids to store food and other things. Only thing I I got rid of my measuring large measuring spoons bc I already had two sized Pyrex cups. For small I’m getting a adjustable measuring spoon. It’s the same spoon that can be altered.

I also really liked how you even mentioned that you aren’t a huge cook yourself so the tool you found works for you. As a baker and cook myself, I did find I may need a few things to be switched around but the whole minimalistic idea is very comforting. Having a clutter free home must be relaxing and productive. Very inspired by your video and I’m thinking to reorganize my place too! Can’t wait to see more!

    Hello ! Thank you for showing us your kitchen and sharing your tips ! I woul just advise you to be careful with those Tefal pans : when the anti-adhesive material in it starts to be damaged (it has a life-span of a year or two if I recall), it is actually dangerous for your health on the long term (because carcinogenic). The same system of handles exists with metal pans, probably with iron ones too. Lovely video, stay healthy and stay happy !

    I have had the ingenio pan for close to 3 years now and it is just so durable that I think it will last me for another 5 years at the very least. It still look brand new to this day and the non stick coating is still the same, not a single scratch.

    1 stainless steel pan, 1 non stick large pan (for bulky items), 1 stockpot & 1 small pot. 2 chopping boards, I prefer the haccp certified plastic ones. I like stainless steel bowls, or glass since you can use them for Bain Marie. A couple of high heat silicone spatulas, a pair of silicone thongs & 1 stainless pair. They all hang up, so require very little space. I’m not a huge fan of those stackable nylon tools, but it was a nice vid with good ideas

    Saw this apartment on “Never too Small”. Love the summary of what is essential and a good plug for J&J products which are not only extremely functional but aesthetically beautiful. Who said that utensils shouldn’t look good? I’m also a fan of not remodelling kitchens. So many new kitchens are expensive, unsustainable and not necessarily REALLY that much more useful after remodelling. I have an original 1972 kitchen in our apartment in Athens which I LOVE! ... I’ve learned to work with it rather than against it and the original features I find very comforting although I did buy a retro Smeg fridge and oven ... oh and I do have a crazy expensive coffee machine. A smartening of the paintwork, a retro 1970s racing stripe and original mid-century dining furniture means that no one notices that the draws aren’t “soft closing”!

    I want to add an item I found on Amazon (there are lots of options) that saves me 9” of counter-space. I only have 36” of counter-space between my microwave (essential, and nowhere else to put it), and my sink. Rather than get a regular dish drain set up, which takes up 18” of space, I got a two-tier dish drainer with tray, which only takes up 9” of counter. 24” of counter-space is sufficient to do all my prep work.

    If you're buying knives check that they don't balance on the back, with the sharp edge up. I know someone who accidentally bought a knife that did that and almost cut their fingers off a few times before getting used to it. I agree that a set of tongs is essential and honestly you can lose the rice paddle and get a good quality measuring jug instead. Also one large and one small baking tray (I have a glass set from Pyrex which nest) are fabulous. I have far too much and can now see I could get rid of a lot but I like to bake so I have a bit more like a rolling pin and a box grater.

    One thing to remember is that minimalist is not synonymous with white and plain. It's the bare minimum of what you need. One tip for people needing to stock their kitchen, if your local retirement community has a 'store' check those out.

Also in reading other's comments they seemed to offer some viable alternatives (i.e. plastic board for meat cutting instead, and a pair of tongs for salad, and perhaps include 1 cast iron in the collection, etc.) of what you mentioned but I'm definitely downloading yours for reference as I make plans on how I'm going to organize a small kitchen that I'm moving to soon.

BUT I do not have all those kitchen gimmicks, that you never use, and sits there taking up room, collecting dust. My sister however, buys everything, and she can hardly get into her kitchen - there is no worktop space! I have a tiny kitchen (but I have a pantry). I have wasted space in the kitchen with the corner units x 2. Can't get in so, I never use them. Oh and the highlight of the kitchen a HUGE F***ING Boiler that takes up a quarter of the kitchen - swell!! Some great ideas here - thank you Daniel! You can get under cupboard drawers - for your cutlery??? I know someone who FORGOT to put drawers into the new kitchen!!! She installed under cupboard drawers onto her upper cabinets.

    Just to clarify, if you want to keep your knives sharp, a honing steel does NOT sharpen. It only makes the blade straight. And I can tell that it's not doing any sharpening from how much pressure you have to put on the food items to make a cut. A sharpening stone will sharpen.

    A few thing I would say is that he might tighten up a little and change some of the gear. ONE, never use cooking oil on wooden cutting boards. The oil turns rancid quickly. Use food grade mineral oil. TWO don't set up for eight people if two people live there. Set up for four. Sets are easy to find in group of four. You can get nice recyclable disposable dinnerware that store very nicely. THREE Don't use cooking pots for storage in a refrigerator. Even if it has it's own lid. It isn't safe. FOUR always have a cover for the stovetop, so you can use the space for food prep. A large cutting board with little risers at the corners will prevent the board from sitting directly on the burners. FIVE if you set the space up to be speed cleaned, you will find that you always will have less clutter. Hope you don't mind me taking up so much of you time with this.
