Kitchen Equipment

Notes on all my kitchen tools, some I don't own yet.

Standmixer?

~30cm clearance above out cabinets

KitchenAid seems like the mixer most people go with. Not sure if the classic model or artisan? Looking to buy used.

Ankarsrum is way more badass but the price is also much higher. https://www.seriouseats.com/ankarsrum-stand-mixer-review-7099243#toc-what-we-learned

Pasta Machine

We were gifted a Marcoto Atlas 150 and it is great.

Spaghetti attachment? Ensure it makes spaghetti #5 size noodles.

Pasta roller for making Ravioli?

Pressure Cooker

InstantPot. I have the one with the air fryer attachment but I'm not hyped on the air frying.

Strainer

I have a basic medium sized round strainer and a tea strainer, but I' like to add a big one like this:

Knives

Serval Japanese knives. Need separate note to go over these.

Scale

Right now mine is a crappy one I got for 5 EUR at a yard sale. Need to upgrade. KitchenAid KQ908 has good reviews. 32 EUR on amazon

Mandoline?

Japanese "Benriner" seems to be most popular. amazon

Table light?

Saw this at a michelin star restaurant and was impressed.
