How to Stock a Minimalist Kitchen
You don't need many tools to cook well. Here's how to stock a minimalist kitchen that works.
A well-stocked minimalist kitchen focuses on versatility. Here are the essentials that handle most cooking needs.
One good 8-inch chef's knife (Victorinox), one cutting board (John Boos), one skillet (Lodge 12-inch), one pot (Dutch oven), one saucepan (All-Clad), one sheet pan (Nordic Ware).
That's six items that can cook almost anything. Add basic utensils: spatula, spoon, tongs, whisk.
For storage, glass containers replace multiple mismatched items.
The minimalist approach saves money, space, and decision fatigue. Quality over quantity is the key.
