• An eight-inch chef’s knife is the most common size chef knife.   
• Ceramic blade knives are sharper than steel and can be used to cut anything that does not have a bone.  They are great for fruit and vegetables. 
• Use a serrated bread knife to cut large items such as watermelons and cantaloupes.  A smooth knife such as a chef’s knife may slide on these type items. 
• Have two sets of measuring spoons to avoid having to wash them in the middle of a recipe. 
• Most recipes call for a 9-inch pie plate.  You may want a “deep dish” pie plate for those apple pie recipes. 
• If your cutting board slides on your counter place a damp towel under the cutting board to keep it from sliding.   Of course, avoid cutting fruit and vegetables on a board used to cut fresh meat. 
• Have two timers if you will be timing multiple parts of a recipe or buy a digital timer that has multiple alarms. 
• A ten-inch frying pan is the most common size.  Purchase a oven safe frying pan such as a cast iron pan so you can use it for multiple purposes. 
• Pizza stones let you make “professional” pizza both in the stove and on the grill. 
• A table knife can be substituted for a cake spatula when icing a cake. 
• If you are going to own one Dutch oven make sure you get an 8-quart or bigger so you can cook bigger recipes and have left overs. 
• Metal spring loaded scalloped edge tongs are the most popular.  Make sure the tongs have a one handed operated lock at the top for easy use. 
• Silicone utensils can withstand up to five hundred degrees and are great for  use in nonstick pans. 
• A swivel bladed peeler is easier to use. 
• Get a dishwasher safe whisk to make cleanup easier. 
• A box type grater with a handle is the most common and one with a bigger base will help avoid the grater form slipping during use.
