Utilization of Appropriate
Lesson 1 Kitchen Tools, Equipment, And
Paraphernalia
The job of cooking requires specific tools, and equipment to organize in a competent
way of preparing food. Each piece of tools and equipment has been designed and created
to accomplish a specific job in the kitchen.
Design, appearance and price are just few factors in buying and choosing the best
tools and equipment in the kitchen, but there are lot of things that we should consider in
purchasing tools and equipment. Having a background knowledge about the material used
for our tools and equipment can help us to know their advantage and disadvantage. The
quality of tools and equipment that we are going to use will reflect to the result of our work.
To achieve a success in cooking and avoid frustrations, find time to invest for appropriate
cooking tools and equipment.
