What i love about Andy he doesn't make you feel like if you don't have a lot or spend a lot means you're not good enough. On the contrary, he encourages us to try things with what we can get, and get excited about trying new stuff.

Bitch what? I've worked in 9+ kitchens including a Chinese kitchen. All of those places have used Maldon sea salt or have definitely tried implementing it in some ways. Molecular gastronomy people love it.

As a homecook, I don't have that much stocked up in my pantry. Tends to expire lol. My daughter on the other hand is a pastry chef and when she was still living with us, the pantry was just hers. Now that she has her own artisan bakeshop, I love to see how organized her pantry is from top to bottom. All those edible beads and decors are just amazing...and overwhelming lol.

While at it, can you also do a video of 'how to shop for the week' for example so you can make basically anything you want throughout the week. I'm curious to see this through the eyes of a pro chef. Like how to fill up the fridge, what you prioritize, what's 'a must have', what is optional if you want X, what is like a 'luxury', that type of thing. Anyways, great and informative video!

Oh my gosh, I love the tour. I pretty much have everything you just showed us, including the label maker, glass jars for storage in pantry & freezer, & those little ceramic pots (mine have flowers painted on the lids). I'm not a chef, just a kitchen freak. Luckily I have 2 kitchens, one in the states & one in Mexico. Love your shows.

Love it! I have so much in my pantry. I have over 50 different spices and herbs in my canning jars.😍 It takes a while to build it up. So no worries people. Each new recipe you cook will bring in new pantry staples. It's so worth it when you want to cook. You are set to make foods with flavors from around the world and create things you love.

Such an awesome video. The thing about spices too is that you don’t necessarily have to get everything in one hit. Get them a bit at a time and just store them. Spices last a long time with a relatively long shelf life. When do build up a “collection”, it’s so much easier having it all there and good to go!

Great tutorial, not just for beginners either. This is essentially my camping/travelling box plus I have garlic powder, English mustard powder and bay leaves in my stash. One tip I'd like to add is; always buy whole tinned tomatoes in puree (not juice) if you are able, as they are likely to be of a higher quality than chopped, crushed, or passata. They are less likely to contain calcium chloride and you can "make" all the other types from whole toms. :)

Thank you Chef Andy for another great video about kitchen basics. Much like your "how to cook a steak" video, a lot of good information for both experienced, and novice cooks.

Hey chef, loved this vid! Fellow food industry guy and i loved that you made it clear how important the organisation is. I absolutely love the containers you use for both your spices and the drystore stuff. Do you think you could share where you got them from? I've stuck with deli containers and these big icecream tubs that are super popular in the UK restaurant industry, but those plastic containers and those jars you use are so perfect.

Came back to this video hoping for container info, too. Figured it would be easier to find small containers like that, but I'm guess I'm wrong.

Its crazy to me that this hasn't been done before, or at least nothing I have seen. I've looked it up many times randomly when I think about it over the last 5-6 years. I actually complain that it's something they should teach you in school 🤣along with how to budget your finances. Really appreciate this, and all the work the team puts in. Enjoying the videos thoroughly.

I’ve got pink pepper at home. I’ve never cooked with it, but I use a small handful as a garnish in my Gin and Tonics along with some strawberry’s and mint. It’s got an unreal spicy/fruity flavour that pairs with gin very well!

With maggi being swiss, I would say maggi seasoning is a swiss invention. Funnyly enough in germany "Maggi seasoning" is just called "Maggi". Not on the lable of course but in everyday speech. And its a very polarizing ingredient :D

Love this episode, Andy! It would be great to see more videos about setting up a kitchen. Topics like choosing pots, pans, knives, etc would be useful.

When you are out doing your grocery shopping for canned tomatoes, you should always be sure to read the label and choose the varieties that do not contain citric acid. The majority of the time, the difference in cost will be negligible; but, there will be a big distinction in terms of flavor.

Now I gotta see how Andy organizes his kitchen especially his refrigerator.

I grow chillies. When they're ready to pick I chop them finely and mix with grated ginger, garlic and orange rind, then freeze in heaped teaspoons on a tray. Once frozen I toss them into a container. One or two in a casserole, meat sauce, chicken, stir fry gives a lovely flavor. I keep the root ginger in the freezer and it's easy to grate. I also grow oregano, mint, rocket, rosemary and basil for convenience.

This is fantastic content - THANKS!!

Wonderful video, really informative and interesting! I am definitely leaning more towards the excessive side here, haha. I actually do have a pot of smoked salt at home. Needed it for a single vegan bacon recioe I tried, bout a teaspoon, and now it lives in my cupboard. I'll eventually find a use for it, I'm sure

Thanks, Andy!

Hey Andy ! I would recommend one more salt 🧂- the Himalayan pink salt to add to your pantry. It has a unique flavour with layers to it and goes really well with fruit chaat, dahi /yogurt etc.

Love this! Furikake and chilli oil would make my must-haves. I use them so much.

Doing the Kings work here Andy! The only other canned thing I tend to keep in the house besides tomatoes are beans. Dried beans are great and cheap but if I need a quick healthy dinner option, being able to toss a can of chickpeas into a salad or curry; or black beans into some taco fixings makes for a substantial meal with protein and dietary fiber built right in.

It's so nice seeing another aussie based cook showing off stuff I actually buy and use instead of the American heavy side of the internet lol Good stuff there, I can't live without Maggi, been eating the stuff since I've been a kid, it's in my blood. I also use Murry river salt as my finishing salt, just feels nicer to see on top of steaks I think =)

So cute salt containers 😍 I am in love ❤🥰

There is a difference between kosher salt and table salt. Table salt is usually fortified with sodium iodide, and is saltier than kosher salt. Kosher salt is usually coarser than table salt. There is a slight difference in taste between the two, with table salt having a slight strange lingering taste to it. Not many people can taste the difference between the two, but those who cook a lot may be able to. Many American chefs prefer to season with kosher salt, than with table salt. Love your pantry, and your videos.

Thanks man. Super handy.

I am happy I have a lot of this check off.

I would love to get those storage bins you have in your cabinets. They look like the perfect size and shape…. Any possibility you can share where to find them?

Great stuff, few things for the shopping list. I wonder would there be any value in a video series of "Basics - XXXXXXX". This could be Basic - Knife skills: Outline what different knifes are used for, how to chop like a pro etc. Starting 3 knife set etc. Basic - Seasoning: Good pairings for cuisines, personally I always struggle with too little salt (I have a sweet tooth). Salt to taste for me seems to be next to no salt but always my food lacks that Ooo yummy flavour. Is there a good analogy / rule of thumb to getting close to the right balance?

Building my pantry was overwhelming. What helped me was doing a deep dive into a cuisine style for a few months, that way I could use all my pantry items and figure out what was a staple vs a specialty item. I think I've purchased every single soy sauce twice before I found a Korean soy sauce that was flexible enough to replace lesser-used sauces.

Wait. 2:13 Is chef Andy a metalhead?

Another great spice blend is herbs de provence. I use it in soups, stews, roasted meats, savory pies, roasted potatoes... so many things. It's very versatile. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to try something new. Im a bit of an herb and spice collector. I'm always finding new ones to try. Sometimes if i dont know what they are I'll research the history and uses so it turns into a fun academic endeavor. A tip for folks who may not cook as frequently, its pretty much always better to buy them whole, not preground. Andy noted it regarding peppercorn, but it holds true for many spices. Whole spices have a longer shelf life. Invest in a mortar and pestle to grind what you need. You'll get a higher quality product in the end.
