Do you want to make more sustainable choices about your diet, but suddenly you don't seem to have the necessary cooking utensils?
A more sustainable diet includes more vegetarian meals, free of animal products. And with changes in a diet come changes in the kitchen.
Even if you have already adopted a vegetarian diet or if you just want to reduce your meat and fish consumption, it is essential to have your kitchen equipped for the purpose, but don't worry: cooking vegetarian meals is simple. And, with the right kitchen utensils, it will be even simpler!
We have gathered in this article some essential kitchen utensils so that you can eat more consciously and without food waste. Take a look at our suggestions.
Knives
Before any other utensil, having a collection of quality knives is essential. Whether it's for peeling tubers, cutting vegetables or mincing herbs. This bamboo knife block from Joseph Joseph will be your greatest ally when preparing food.
It includes a variety of essential kitchen knives with Japanese stainless steel blades and innovative handles with integrated rests. This means the blade is never in contact with the work surface.
Cutting Board
A good cutting board is indispensable in any kitchen, even for vegetarian cookings. It should have a sturdy surface for cutting all types of food, and preferably have rounded corners and a sloping cutting surface to retain or help pour off any liquid from the food. We suggest the Cut & Carve multifunctional cutting board from Joseph Joseph. You won't regret it!
Spiralizer
Thinking of replacing conventional spaghetti with "courgette spaghetti"? It's possible and delicious! You just need a manual spiralizer to make it happen. This one from Joseph Joseph creates spaghetti-like strands with different types of vegetables, quickly and safely.
Veggie “Meatballs” Form
Have you tried countless recipes for vegetarian“meatballs”, but they always end up looking a bit clumsy? Go for a meatball mold, a utensil that allows you to mold equal balls without getting your hands dirty. They'll look professional.
Avocado tool 3 in 1
It's not to everyone's taste, it's true, but avocados are an increasingly popular food in vegetarian diets. So why not have a tool to make it easier to eat? This 3 in 1 avocado tool allows you to cut the fruit into two, remove the core and slice it in complete safety.
Cauliflower rice shredder
Have you ever heard of 'cauliflower rice'? With the right shredder you can turn cauliflower and broccoli into something similar to rice, in terms of texture. It's very easy, safe and a fun (and tasty) alternative to the conventional way of consuming these vegetables.
Steamer basket
Steaming vegetables is a healthy method of cooking and preserving their nutrients, flavor, and texture. You can do this with a steamer basket while cooking other types of food in a pot or pan. This method saves time and is more economical and ecological, as it saves water and energy.
Hamburger mold
Similar to meatballs, and despite being delicious, homemade veggie burgers also tend to have a clumsy look. Fortunately, there's a solution! This mold helps in the process of making hamburgers, giving them a perfect finish. Advantages: it is non-sticky, washable, and compact.
Mold for sausages
There are molds for hamburgers, for meatballs... and for sausages too! Now you can make your own vegetarian sausages at home, and in a very simple way. With this mold you can cook your sausages in the microwave, in the oven or steam cook them.
Oven mat
Do you love trying out recipes in the oven? Then choose to use a silicone baking mat instead of the traditional disposable baking paper. This baking mat is non-stick, washable, and reusable.
Storage accessories
To avoid food waste, choose environmentally-friendly storage solutions. Such as reusable silicone bags for hermetically storing solid or liquid food in the freezer, fridge or even in the pantry; reusable extendable lids made from silicone perfect for sealing bowls or fruit and vegetable halves or reusable boxes for packaging meals to be consumed away from home.
These are excellent ecological alternatives to the disposable use of cellophane and aluminum foil.
To this list of suggestions, we could add many more! At In & Out Cooking you will find hundreds of products that can make your life easier in the kitchen, try new vegetarian recipes, and make this daily task much more fun... and tasty.
Good cookings!
