      we only own few kitchen items too. it prevents from piling up the sink with dishes!
      to choose one as my favorite, would be the muji silicone spoon. it didn't melt even after using it so many times for cooking and the edges are flexible to scoop everything.
      best for those who need alternative for wood cooking tools since it has to be proper maintained too. :)
      this is really nice video! more like this please. :D
      hmm, how about collection of eco-friendly things that worked for you? :)

      @@Everydaykaen I second the cast iron pan recommendation! I was initially intimidated by the maintenance involved, but the learning curve is actually pretty low and the performance keeps getting better over time! Especially if you’re concerned about product longevity, cast iron can last a lifetime with a little care ⭐️

      For a future collection, I’d love to see skincare, wardrobe, and fitness essentials! Because Thoughtworthy practices a minimalist approach, I feel a deeper sense of trust that the essential/favorite items you keep are truly beloved and not frivolously chosen.

    This video is a God sent! I’m currently moving to my first apartment and I’m leaning towards a more minimalist lifestyle and currently listing kitchen items to get as those are the ones that accumulates the most. Especially different sizes of pots, knives, spoons, etc. This is very helpful and my guide to buying new kitchen items for my new apartment.

    I am somewhere between wanting to be a minimalist and leave room for a lot of creativity and canning my own food, etc. I am recently moved from a big house to a small apartment and so I need to functionally downsize what I have to only what I truly use and make more sense of it.

    My slow cooker is my favorite kitchen item. My parents got it in the 1980s but never used it so they gave it to me. I love that I can start a dish in the morning and have it ready when I get home from work.

    I bake so my stainless steel mixing bowls would be on my list. They're lightweight, easy to care for, and I've had them about 7 years already. I like a chef's knife and a bread knife. And my bread machine for bread, fruitloaf, and pizza dough - partly for time's sake and also because I'm terrible at kneading. I like our butcher's block rather than a lightweight chopping board, and have a favourite wooden spoon. I have a collection of 5 pans/pots (with lids) and some baking trays. My frying pan is carbon steel and easy to care for. Otherwise I prefer stainless steel because its easy to clean and lasts forever. Also a stick blender is better for me than a stand blender because I share a kitchen. Kitchenware is a bit of a weakness for me XD

      Hey thanks! :)
      The most obvious con would be the smell in our case. But we can simply close the doors of our rooms and don't find it to be a problem. Our cooking isn't that heavy so it also doesn't dirty our place too badly.
