Go to mudwtr.com/BRIANLAGERSTROM to try your new morning ritual.
I'm impressed with your passion for cooking. I love to watch your videos even if I won't make the recipe because there is always some useful advice and I simply enjoy the way you cook.
Can you please do this same video for the UK?
Trade coffee is offended.
i've gotten to the point where i hate volumetric recipes.
using your link/code above did NOT provide the $20 off that you promised in your video
Next video idea: Single purpose tools that are actually worth having
Dude literally that is the next gear vid we are making haha. Excellent idea.
@@BrianLagerstrom I have exceedingly few. I do rather like my Zojirushi rice cooker...
A knife, its meant for cutting and its awesome
Yes, cuz I was wondering why he didn't mention a Microplane. I couldn't live without it in my kitchen. I use it almost daily between citrus zest, pec-romano, grated ginger or garlic, chocolate, cinnamon and nutmeg, etc.
Garlic Press, Ice Cream Scoop, Citrus Squeezer is all I can think of at the moment.
a lot of FoodTubers present themselves as everymen, but very very few of them actually makes videos for the common cook. Brian is one of those few - and videos like this are the reason why!
This is why I recommend your channel to people. You let people know they can do your kind of cooking without owning THE most special, certain, expensive utensils. Thank you.
I can confirm that the Lodge dutch oven is a workhorse. I've had mine for at least 4 years now and I use it pretty much daily. I've baked bread in it, braised sauces/meats/stews, and cooked most of your mentioned recipes in it. :) It's reliable, easy to clean and has performed beautifully. I had planned on eventually upgrading to Le Crueset once the Lodge needs replacing but that day hasn't come, and I don't know if it ever will.
Second the Lodge dutch oven. I've certainly put mine through a lot. If it doesn't last you a lifetime, you live a very rough life.
I assume you mean the cheaper Lodge line made in China. They recently came out with an American made line that is closer to Le Crueset in price, and with a comparable lifetime guarantee. Just in case you didn't know and would prefer to support American jobs when you upgrade. :)
@@govols1995 Lodge makes stuff in China? Is it just this one line of products?
It never will. Cast iron either breaks in infancy or lasts until you let it rust.
I looked up a Lodge dutch oven on Amazon. It is made in China. Lodge says "All Lodge seasoned cast iron and carbon steel cookware is proudly made in the USA." But a dutch oven is not a seasoned cast iron nor is it carbon steel. It is an enameled cast iron. So Lodge enamaled cast-iron dutch ovens appear to be made in China.
As someone who has both 10 and 12-inch pans, I have found one good reason to prefer the 10s. If you have a glass electric stove top like I do, it's unlikely the heating component can cover the full 12 inches. This leaves me with a pan that's hot in the middle, and noticeably lacking near the edges, leading to uneven browning.
Just something to consider when buying, especially if you're cooking for one.
I second that!
I hate glasstops.
Restaurant Depot Pro-Tip (at least in my area, Oregon): If you are NOT a member, you can get a day pass, for free, from the front desk. Just go up and ask 😀 I shop there regularly it's great for feeding groups or if you have a large family, and the prices on spices especially, in good sized bulk containers, will blow your mind if you are used to standard grocery stores. It might be one of my favorite places to shop!
How’s it different from costco
I'm a little late but this is why Brian is THE cooking channel for me. You make recipe videos and you want people to cook them, not just to show off or go viral, but to get people to cook them, and you help people to make sure they're able to cook all of them. I feel like many other cooking channels are just trying to show off their stuff and couldn't care less if you're making it or not. Your channel feels so much more like "I've found or invented some great recipes, try them out, I'd love you to have it too!" Also with your videos where you have a version 2.0 or so of recipes because you've found ways to fine tune and make them better, you show that even the pro chef who now has a successful channel can still learn and grow. Honestly love this channel so much.
Thanks so much!
I think a video idea that would be hugely appreciated by amateur cooks looking to improve and interested in upping the quality of their meals would be this: a guide to grocery stores/farmers markets. I find the latter a little intimidating as a novice and so have never actually been to a farmers market. I'm sure you have some great insight into what to look for and what to avoid when selecting proteins and produce for recipes, and I know I can't be the only one who might benefit from that. Love your vids, Bri. Rock on 😎
If you've never watched Good Eats, you should look it up. It was really cutting edge when it started because Alton Brown would actually do things like that. He'd start episodes at the grocery store sometimes, showing you how to find and select ingredients. He also pioneered a lot of the camera techniques that youtubers use today.
There are butchers locally. We don't eat veg, so that helps, but delivery is great.
I signed up for a CSA* this year and have done so a couple times in the past. It's home delivery of vegetables directly from the farm. I live alone, so my small needs only cost $34 a week (about 6 items in fairly bountiful quantity) - maybe that seems a lot of $$ to some people, but the quality/freshness is unbeatable, and I eat a lot less meat when I have this available.
They pick what I get (based on what's currently growing, of course], and the advantage to that is I get stuff I'd never have known existed or might not have chosen, and it expands the vegetables I now know I like and can use. The internet is so helpful; e.g., I plugged in spinach asparagus red scallion - and got back so many recipes! My granddaughter, who eats with me once a week, and I ended up with a wonderful quiche. *CSA: Community Supported Agriculture.
@@jvallas Less meat correlates to lower IQ, muscle mass. Especially for women, that can be detrimental. My family owns orchards and a ranch nearby, but they all have diabetes or cancer. While the ones who ate more meat and ate ancestorally, lived longer without disease.
@@jvallas ruclips.net/user/liveF4pwfjpZMp0?si=fgdQK_Aa8UyaQ74t
Haha! Brian, you pulled a Matty Matheson by bleeping the word sh*t but leaving the word audible. Love it!
As a professional chef; god yeah. I knew I could trust you 100% when you whipped out the OXO peeler
B Man, this is one of the best videos you’ve made to date. It furthers humanizes your very beginner friendly approach to cooking by making it feel more accessible. It also helps us aspiring home cooks to feel confident in purchasing equipment for the kitchen.
You can find some really high end cookware etc in thrift stores. Last month I bought a 14" carbon steel wool that usually goes for 50-60 bucks for only $8. Looked like it had been used 2 or 3 times because the owner didn't know hw to season or use it. That same trip I also found a 1910s crusty cast iron pan. After cleaning t up, I just sold it for $80 on Ebay.
I appreciate that even though you come from a professional background, you're still able to make great recipes and offer great advice for people who are on a budget.
Brian I just want to say that as a home chef, your kitchen equipment videos are better than any other reviews on the internet . You actually use the damn things and it shows in how you describe them. Your only 3 knives video from a while back and this video are the only things a home chef will ever need to fill their kitchen arsenal. Also the bagels video… Certified banger.
Thanks BEANBAG ✊
Great video, Brian. I prefer a Lodge 12 inch cast iron pan (with clear lid) which lasts forever. And I can cook just about anything in it. And very reasonably priced.
Such a fantastic video Brian. I was looking for this EXACT type of video years ago when I first moved into my own place and there was nothing even close.
I hope this becomes the gold standard in the algorithm for years to come. Cheers
Thank you for this much needed video. You cant cook without decent tools. Its important to keep things affordable for us starters :)
Charity/thrift stores, estate sales, and restaurant surplus stores are where it's at if you're looking for high quality kitchenware at a super reasonable price. I have some incredible knifes, pots, and pans that my father picked up second hand for me when I went away to college. Decades later, they are still the backbone of my kitchen.
I got a whole set of nearly brand new All-Clad non stick for like $25 from a thrift store 😎
great advice! it's worth trying to find these items in secondhand shops rather than buying something new. ive gotten small kitchen appliances, utensils, and dinnerware at goodwill and other thrift stores for very reasonable prices
I am a RE Broker...I can't believe what I bring to charity shops! Great advice to start there!
This is why I subscribed to this channel. It is full of great recipes, common sense, easy and good pieces of advice, beginner friendly, straight to the point and down-to-earth, budget friendly and in a sense eco-friendly too because you do not encourage us to buy stupid useless and expensive things in the long run. Thank you!
One of the few joys of getting older is that, over the decades, you slowly accumulate the tools that let you accomplish what's important to you, whether it's woodwork, car work, cooking or whatever. What's funny is that, after a while, you gradually realize it's far more satisfying to master a few simple, basic, good tools, over a vast collection of single-use gadgets.
Awesome list. Scope your local goodwill / thrift places for ones with a good kitchen zone. We've had luck for the metal pots and cast iron pans. I know Bri didn't recommend cast iron but whatever.... thrift it and you might be able to get things cheaper like a higher quality dutch oven with lid dimples vs the Lodge.
You know you've made it as a cook on RUclips when you post your "What should you have in your kitchen" video. Good job Bri!
As someone who has been in your posse since the sardines days, I’m so excited at your success. You continue to put out great content, and you keep it real. You’re absolutely the best in this space. Oh yeah, love the video. 😊
A large sheet pan is great for larger applications, but a couple of smaller quarter-size or half-size sheet pans is honestly so useful, I would highly recommend. You can bake small batches of things like frozen cookies or even slide them into a smaller countertop oven. However, the way I use them most is mise en place prep (obviously sauces and liquids still need bowls). I no longer bother with a bunch of small dishes I have to wash, I just do it all on ONE TRAY and even reuse the tray if it need to stir fry items in batches or rest my utensils in. They just save me so much time in the cleanup, I can't go back. You can find them for next to nothing in thrift stores too, but you do get what you pay for... the thicker sheets with quality rolled edges won't torque or buckle under heat.
I would love to see a follow-up video going throug the same list of items and recommending what non-budget items you consider to be worth the splurge and could serve as upgrades to this budget gear list over the long term.
Epicurean. If you want a cutting board with most of the benefits of a plastic or rubber one but a bit more, they are great. Easy on your knife, dishwasher safe, but nowhere near as thick and heavy as a wooden board. They also make fantastic spatulas and such that are safe for us on nonstick coatings. I've used my stuff for like a decade now and it's all still in great shape.
I like the Cuisinart multiclad pots. Cheaper than All Clad but still work great and built well. Going on about 10 years with mine and still going strong.
No joke. Those knives are work horses. I've been using those in restaurants for decades. I have several very nice knives at home for fun, but that one is just a monster.
As someone with a passion for baking in general and bread in particular, I would say that the digital scale has made the biggest impact for me. A close second is the instant read digital thermometer (I have the thermopen). I really like your list of not just what, but why to have these tools. Great video as usual.
Thanks for the video Bri, always love seeing things for beginners.
I love my lodge dutchie lol. I got it during the pandemic ordered online through home depot since they were sold out everywhere. I was unsure I'd even get it. Life changer. I'm really glad this winco brand sells in Canada this is very helpful!
I would add a wok. I cook a ton of asian food and I use it almost every day. A 10-12 cast iron, a wok and a dutch oven are basically the only pot/pans you need.
One little detail that I would add to that mixing bowl is the perfectly flat bottom. Some cheaper mixing bowls do not have that. There is a ring around the outside that is deeper than the center, I find that to be a pain in the ass. It's either a spot where you can't get your dry ingredients to fully incorporate, or a spot where you can't squeegee out all your food with a rubber spatula. Look for one just like Brian's, with a perfectly flat bottom.
I’ve had to use colanders like that as well. You’re right, it’s a pain in the ass.
About 10 or 12 years ago, I bought (on impulse) a $15 MoV stainless steel 8” chef’s knife from Ikea (they truly are the reigning champions of impulse purchases). I’m not a professional chef, but I’m a quite decent home cook, and this knife has never given me a minute of regret. I use it daily, it sharpens nicely, has a very comfortable grip, and is well-balanced. I don’t foresee wanting to replace it any time soon.
No joke on the peeler! I picked up one after a previous Brian recommended tools video and I was shocked! Sooo good!
I used to have that exact same utensil set and it didn't last even a year. Wood handles look nice but I'd recommend to either go fully wooden or fully silicon utensils, it's the joint that's the problem. I'm so happy with my upgrade to fully silicon GIR brand utensils, I use the "Spoonula" daily!
We have pretty much the same wood/silicone set. The only thing (so far) to break at the joint is the whisk. We've super glued it back together. But eventually when more break we will surely be on the search for all wood/all silicone.
Which do you prefer? I really like the idea of all wood utensils. Probably because that is what my grandmother always used.
@@Ammut6 I prefer silicon just because it's easier to clean and I feel like I can be a little more careless with them. After 1-2 times leaving my wooden spoon in the sink without trying it properly, the wood warped and cracked, whereas you would not have this issue with silicon
Excellent advice here Brian. It’s so refreshing when a chef I admire recommend good, cheap options including knives. I have the Pioneer Woman set for the same reason. My Shun knives are too fussy. I like knives that work well and don’t need to be babied. I have a lot of good quality kitchenware amassed over 30 years of cooking, but to get started and be able to cook just about everything this list really impresses! You can always upgrade later. I popped up and got your 6 qt LeCreuset low French oven for Christmas 2 years ago after seeing yours!
Business Costco also carries Winco and other restaurant supply items like those knives
Great stuff Brian. We've had the same Lodge Dutch Oven for 10 years now and although the inside coating is a little dinged up, there's been no chipping and it's been great for us. We were only buying it to avoid spending the money on a Le Creuset for a year or two but we've never felt the need to upgrade since we bought ours. We use it multiple times a week for soups, stews, and frying as well as baking occasionally. I've also used it on my gas grill in a power outage to finish a stew that was braising.
Honestly the best cookery content on YT and it’s not even close
Big agree on this whole thing. I recommend 2 of those bowls because you can invert one on top of the other and shake them for salads. I make huge salads for meal prepping and that's so easy to do with 2 bowls.
I've also had fantastic experience with the Tramontina nonstick pan which is always on Amazon, WalMart, etc.
Also.. for anybody who is doing this, google to see if you have a restaurant supply store in your area.
The one in mine does not require a membership and I buy all my Winco stuff there... always solid, no frills, and cheap.
I appreciate how much you focus on accessibility, access, and fighting kitchen pretentiousness, Brian!!
I’m glad I found your videos there informative and you have a great personality. I’ve been watching Food wishes for yrs. And it’s nice to switch it up every once in awhile.
Great video!
If someone would be interested in some alternatives, i really recommend visiting your local Swedish embassy, i.e. an IKEA.
I bought literally ALL of my kitchen there (equipment, appliances, furniture) five years ago, and it's still practically new.
Their price-to-quality ratio is just ridiculous, so if somebody here is looking for something different, it's well worth it to give it a try.
Great video! Love the no nonsense approach.
I’ve used a $50 Amazon Basics enameled cast iron Dutch oven for over five years. Other than a slight discoloration of the white interior, it is still good as new. I’ve got some expensive Cutco knives that I’ve had for nearly 50 years, but my go to knife for anything but paring is a cheap commercial grade nakiri style by Mercer, about $30 on Amazon.
This video is pure gold. I've well since moved past needing the content but for anyone looking to start a home kitchen, this is about as content dense as you can get!
Your videos are one of the highlights of my week. Thank you for making and sharing them with us.
I love the valuable information you've shared about workhorse equipment. It is very useful to me!
So looking forward to making your Karaage recipe this weekend. Thank you for this channel. It is so much fun.
I freaking love it when you do these kind of video’s. Kudos Bri
You’re a kick ass dude …
This video is so helpful!! Even if you don’t go with these exact products, it’s such a great list with helpful tips when you’re picking stuff out, especially if you want to go to a thrift store and go even cheaper
Thanks for the great advice, Bri. We can always count on you to set us straight
Yes, thank you for this Brian! I always go down a rabbit hole of expensive vs decently priced stuff. But this video answers all of my questions!
Thank you for this as I’m looking to replace some thangs around the kitchen soon
You make cooking content for people first, not clicks and it really shows. Thank you
I got the bowl idea from your bread and pizza videos, it literally changed my cooking, i use it for absolutely everything.
GREAT recommendations Bry!
Great video!! I have amassed every tool in your video to make cooking easier and more fun. The Le Cruset Dutch oven and Boos board are on my wish list... I especially agree with you about the SCALE. It changed the way I cook!! I feel like my process is so much more streamlined along with being more accurate. And, LESS DISHES!
You are so realistic and practical. I'm moving to college for my 3rd year and will have my own kitchen for the first time so this video, among many others, was incredibly informational and useful.
I have a Lodge dutch oven and I absolutely love it, it's handled everything I've thrown at it and everything has turned out incredible. I wish I hadn't waited so long time finally get one, it's my favorite pot now!
This is the 🔝 video. It is important to have the correct kitchen tools to re-create your amazing Foods. Thank you Bri, also signed up for your knives collection . Never knew how affordable they were for my kitchen too. Happy upcoming Summer ❤
Love this video, thanks Brian!
I went and bought the EXACT same bowl about a year ago (you had recommended it and linked it in another video). 100% honest, it was and is my favorite kitchen utensil. I had been using glass or plastic bowls before, but I literally use the stainless bowl for everything! Don't sleep on how important a good steel bowl is people!
for those in the UK, we went to TK Maxx, joseph joseph knives and hairy biker pans - they're an absolute must. Our chopping board I had gotten a large, sit over the edge of the counter type, from IKEA maybe 5 years ago, sanded and oiled it once inbetween but its been sound to me
As a Brit abroad I so do miss Tacky Maxx!
Awesome vid. Thanks for making this!
Cooking is my love language - so powerful. I got lucky and got my dutch oven at TJMaxx many years ago. However, if I didn't have this, I would definitely spend the money to buy one. I'm going to check those knives out. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you Brian. You're awesome and I appreciate the attitude you have for each and every video
Thank you so much for an awesome video. I appreciate the recommendations on the budget pots and pans.
I've had that exact set of silicone utensils for over a year and totally recommend them! They work great and hold up in the dishwasher.
Thanks for the video. Watching your channel really helped me get started with making pizza at home. The digital scale has changed everything about how I approach cooking.
Very well done, I wholeheartedly agree! Years of cooking, very nice equipment but I often pick the Dexter Russell over my wustoff for the comfortable grip and love the peeler
Love this video. Super helpful thank you!
That budget utensil set looks like a real must-have for any new kitchen startup. It was definitely a good pick. I remember buying one [it was different, and I got it at a hardware store] when I first started feeding myself. That was decades ago, and I still use some of them today, even tho' I've amassed a goodly collection of pro-grade tools, one piece at a time. The whole viddie is definitely a great, affordable list to start with, for sure.
Love this episode! I’ve got most of these, with a few minor needed additions! Thx for the brands! ✌️
Excellent video Brian...great advice
I keep going back to your channel. I branch out to the other home cooks, but always come back. You do a great job here. Also, looking very dapper today!
Please show us how you clean/maintain the sheet pans and sharpen knives!
To stop cutting boards from slipping I use a cheapo rubber anti-skid matte. Easy peasy.
Saving this for when I finally get my own place!
I enjoyed this video. I already have most of these items. One thing I might change, if I were going to have only 1 fry pan, I would stick with my cast iron one over the non-stick aluminum - but then, I own both items in more than one size.
I love all of these recommendations. I was hoping to hear about a blender.
"the way that I show people that I love them" 😍
I had a Lodge dutch oven for years -- I upgraded to a Misen a few years ago and passed my Lodge along to a friend, and it's still going strong (minus some chips in the handle that I had put there) and she loves it.
This is such an appreciated video Bri. Easy adds to Amazon wishlist as a novice cook, and also includes better brands in case I want to buy gifts for my family.
NEEDED this video
digital scale makes such a difference!
Nice presentation Brian. Very informative. ✌🏼
great episode found a few things to add to my kitchen.
The Dexter knife is really good
Hey BRI! Love the recommendations, I did have a tip to add for the cutting boards section. I use all plastic cutting boards but I will wet a few paper towels to put underneath. It definitely makes a difference and will make your cutting board stay in place. Keep up the great work and thanks for all the recipes, I can say that your channel has given me a ton of inspiration for feeding my family.
Got a couple of the sheet pans, thanks!
love this!!
Great video man!
Bri you are the absolute GOAT
Whoa! Congrats on launching your knife line. Can't wait to see it come out. I have "my knives" but would never complain about having a workhorse that I don't care if my less experienced and careful wife could use. Plus, I'd love to support my guy, Bri.
I’m on year 4 of my lodge Dutch oven! And it’s going strong.
You were 100% the reason I went and bought a Dutch oven. And they are quite versatile. Even something as simple as pot roast or pulled pork- yeah you can make it in a crock pot, but it'll develop a lot more crust and flavor with a Dutch oven.
Also for anyone interested, Amazon sells their own brand dutch oven. I got mine even cheaper by waiting for one to pop up as "used- like new." It was like $40 and when I got it, it was in pristine condition. I haven't abused it a ton yet, but the enamel coat has proven to be very good so far.
This is an amazing video topic. Thank you 🙏
Another good use of the metal bowl is on top of the saucepan, as a double boiler
Thank you for your lovely compliment. I hope my recipe was able to help you in your cooking
