Love this video, her voice is very relaxing.

" ...and the handle ummm don't get too hot to handle" 🤣

How we can find the spatula;

You look like a flight attendant doing a safety demonstration.

i'm getting a house soon,
so this definitely helps.

Hello! I’ve been watching your channel and loving your vibes. .. when did you “upgrade “ (?) to your Midori pans with the detachable handles? Are you still using them or?

I am somewhere between wanting to be a minimalist and leave room for a lot of creativity and canning my own food, etc. I am recently moved from a big house to a small apartment and so I need to functionally downsize what I have to only what I truly use and make more sense of it.

I need to minimize kitchen utensils uh…I love my OXO cooking 🧑🏻‍🍳 spoon it’s lasted a long time, also my Sur La Table spatulas big and mini, also my Staub pot. I will soon toss my non stick pan as you say they don’t last long. Baby steps

This video is a God sent! I’m currently moving to my first apartment and I’m leaning towards a more minimalist lifestyle and currently listing kitchen items to get as those are the ones that accumulates the most. Especially different sizes of pots, knives, spoons, etc. This is very helpful and my guide to buying new kitchen items for my new apartment.

Nice

Where did you get that organiser board on the wall?

Wait you don’t have a wok??

Beautiful

what cutting board oil do you use?

Thanks for sharing 🌈

This is not minimalist… the whole thing about mininalist is that you dont get attach to big or a lot of things…

I have cast iron, it's in my DNA. I tried carbon steel but I'm having a difficult time keeping it seasoned.

I bake so my stainless steel mixing bowls would be on my list. They're lightweight, easy to care for, and I've had them about 7 years already. I like a chef's knife and a bread knife. And my bread machine for bread, fruitloaf, and pizza dough - partly for time's sake and also because I'm terrible at kneading. I like our butcher's block rather than a lightweight chopping board, and have a favourite wooden spoon. I have a collection of 5 pans/pots (with lids) and some baking trays. My frying pan is carbon steel and easy to care for. Otherwise I prefer stainless steel because its easy to clean and lasts forever. Also a stick blender is better for me than a stand blender because I share a kitchen. Kitchenware is a bit of a weakness for me XD

I mainly use skillet pans and just some basic knifes i found at a local restaurant store. they’ve lasted me a long while

Loved it very much

That's why they collected them

I love your video! 1 question? What are the cons of having your open kitchen? Especially when you are cooking, does it dirty your whole house badly? Any other cons?

Hi, where did you get that wooden/bamboo wall for hanging utensils? Thanks:)

Hi guys! I love your videos and I watch them to relax and unwind. Can we get a recipe for the shrimp pasta you made?

Our family's knife and chopping board is probably just as old as me, and they're still going strong. My parents were gifted Corelle tableware for their wedding, and we're still using them too - so they're definitely older than me!

what kinds of oils do we have to put on the boards?? thanks!!!

Thank you for your mentioned plate collection from Thailand

A good chopping board is so underrated, I much prefer wooden boards as they do look and feel much nicer to use.

I love the mood of your videos 🥰

A cast iron pan or wok is a must if you fry a lot. They are heavy but really easy to maintain. And they are long lasting for life

I have a big metal pot with steamer. You can use it for soups, pasta, steaming, as a colander, almost anything

It was a long awaited video ❤❤

The pasta with shrimp 🍤 looks yummy 😋!

Would love to see a video on household cleaning products you use. :)

Also curious, do you do anything different to clean the cutting board if you cut meat?

Great video, thank you for sharing part of your life. It is always a pleasure to watch you guys

What a delightful series to start! I especially loved how HL demonstrated how she uses each essential tool- the visuals really sold each product, and I kept peeking at the description box for links. I’ve been primarily using plastic/bamboo cutting boards myself, but your IKEA wooden cutting boards look so tempting 🤔

The handle doesn’t get too hot to handle. Nice pun!

My slow cooker is my favorite kitchen item. My parents got it in the 1980s but never used it so they gave it to me. I love that I can start a dish in the morning and have it ready when I get home from work.

I am always curious about how many of each thing are enough. For example how many towels, sheets, socks, etc. does someone need and how do they arrive at that number? I am not interested in getting the number rock bottom, but want to arrive at enough with no excess.

Love how well-made are this videos, keep it up!

Great! Nice video.

10 Tech Essentials as minimalist.

Loved this one so much. So calming 🤗 My personal favorites are my skillet and chef's knife. I'm not the best cook but they get the job done for the little dishes I can make without burning my house down 😂 What kind of oil do you use to maintain your cutting boards?

Where is the wok? It can do everything flash fry, deep fry, steam, boil etc 🤨

A bit less useful than some of the items you showed, but a Pizza stone. We save a lot of money by just making NY style pizza with one.

❤️

my favorite kitchen items are also knives and little tables for chop. I think that buy a good knife it´s better than buy several in a year, but don´t has to be an expensive purchase, just a good one uwu. Also, i love your videos and i'm really happy to watch the awesome progress of taking good photos, definitely i will check out the skillshare platform!!

An excellent collection of kitchen favorites!!!

lol can relate to parents stocking up on cooking utensils. there are about 3 households’ worth in my storeroom.

Multicooker, frying pan, steamer, ceramic knives ❤
