COOKING UTENSILS AND EQUIPMENTS

A kitchen utensil is a hand-held, typically small tool or utensil that is used in the kitchen, for food-related functions. A cooking utensilis a utensil used in the kitchen for cooking. Other names for the same thing, or subsets thereof, derive from the word "ware", and describe kitchen utensils from a merchandising (and functional) point of view: kitchenware, wares for the kitchen; ovenware and bake ware, kitchen utensils that are for use inside ovens and for baking; cookware, merchandise used for cooking and so forth.

A partially overlapping category of tools is that of eating utensils, which are tools used for eating (c.f. the more general category of tableware). Some utensils are both kitchen utensils and eating utensils. Cutlery (i.e. knives and other cutting implements) can be used for both food preparation in a kitchen and as eating utensils when dining. Other flat wares such as forks and spoons are both kitchen and eating utensils.

Other names used for various types of kitchen utensils, although not strictly denoting a utensil that is specific to the kitchen, are according to the materials they are made of, again using the "ware" suffix, rather than their functions: earthenware, utensils made of clay, silverware,

utensils (both kitchen and dining) made of silver; glassware, utensils (both kitchen and dining) made of glass; and so forth. These latter categorizations include utensils made of glass, silver, clay, and so forth that are not necessarily kitchen utensils.

The pictures above show the cooking utensil and equipment that are commonly use in the kitchen. They are:

In cooking, a gas stove is a cooker which uses natural gas, propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas or other flammable gas as a fuel source.

Oven

Microwave ovens heat foods quickly and efficiently, and because excitation is fairly uniform in the outer of a dense food item, food is more evenly heated throughout (except in thick dense objects) than generally occurs in other cooking techniques. Grill

A barbecue grill is a device for cooking food by applying heat directly from below. It is used as the cooking method between barbecue grillers. Refrigerator

A refrigerator (colloquially fridge) is a commonhousehold appliance that consists of a thermally insulated compartment and a heat pump(mechanical, electronic, or chemical) that transfers heat from the inside of the fridge to its external environment so that the inside of the fridge is cooled to a temperature below the ambient temperature of the room. It is used to cool the food by decreasing or even arresting the reproduction rate of bacteria. The device is thus used to reduce the rate of spoilage of foodstuffs.

Knife A knife (plural knives) is a cutting tool in the kitchen to cut the meat, vegetable and so on.

 A Serrated Knife Serrated blade knives have a wavy, scalloped or saw-like blade. Serrations help when cutting things that are hard on the outside and soft on the inside (such as bread or tomatoes).
