What are the thing you need to have in your kitchen? Of course we all know plates, drinking glasses, and silverware.
But what else? Mixing bowls, etc? I am talking the bare necessities here.
Also what are the basic knives you use in a kitchen? Can you get away with just a paring knife, santoku, and perhaps a bread knife?
Also pots and pans, maybe like one good frying pan and one multi-purpose pot?
Please construct your bare basic kitchen for me. Thanks.

This is mine:
microwave, 1 big and 1 small glass (microwave proof) bowl each (with lids that you can use to fry things in the microwave in), 1 sharp knife, 1 slotted spoon. You can do mixing in the glass bowls as well as use them for cooking etc.
That's all you need
PS yes I did buy a foodprocessor but its still in its box 'having a holiday in the cupboard' as my old granny used to say

For me a good big knife is also essential. And a blender, I use it almost every day.

I was just thinking that some folk here are under the impression that you were some big, strong, muscley, hunky,bouncer type guy and was just setting the record straight for them.

Now, people, sit down in a dark, quiet place before reading this.....
I got the food processor out yesterday (bought December 22nd), and USED it to chop up some lettuce, cucumber and tomato.
