We all have an abundance of items in our kitchen. We use some items more often than others. Some items might be collecting dust at the bottom of our drawer. They always say less is more, so the less clutter you have taking up your home and kitchen space, the clearer you might feel, mentally We’ve curated a list of the most useless kitchen items out there. Once you clean up your kitchen, you’re well on your way to becoming a professional cook.
Imran Ali, from London’s Michelin-starred Tamarind, says the most important tool in the kitchen isn’t one you can hold. In an interview, he said, “There is no more essential a tool in any kitchen than knowledge. You could have the best equipment and tools in the world’s best kitchen, but if you don’t know your food and you don’t know your ingredients and how they come together, then you won’t be able to make even the simplest of dishes.”
A recent study from Cornell University revealed that having a cluttered kitchen leads to overeating and eating more snacks and food with higher calories. In the study, one woman waited in a messy kitchen with dishes in the sink, newspapers on the counter, and a ringing phone, while another waited in a clean, calm kitchen.
The woman waiting in the messy kitchen ate twice as many cookies as the woman waiting in the clean kitchen. One way to combat this disorder in your kitchen is to get rid of useless kitchen items and keep your space clean and organized. If you’re going to invest in tools, invest in versatile ones that you can use for many different things, like knives, tongs, and large spoons. The one-use kitchen tools are the biggest killers in the kitchen.
