My Minimum Viable Kitchen would forget about half that stuff and add a Rice Cooker and broiler pan. I have more kitchen equipment than I know what to do with, but 95% of the meals I wind up cooking need at most these: - Bamboo Cutting Board - Plastic cutting board - Tongs, spatulas, and cooking chopsticks - Rice cooker - Chef's knife - Paring Knife - Sashimi knife - Nakiri - Aluminum nonstick pan - cast-iron griddle / broiler pan - Pot with steamer - Saucepan - 12 Qt. Stock pot - Large Wok - Mixing bowls - Whisks - Hand mixer This is enough equipment to cook a broad range of French, Japanese and American dishes. It's nice to have things like a Mandoline, oil thermometer or blender, but I find myself using them less frequently as I become more experienced. I've also never owned a tabletop mixer and never wished for one.
