Really? That is a useless (to me) article that contains a whole bunch of expensive stuff you don't need. Your kitchen isn't my kitchen. The stuff I find important for my needs isn't the stuff you find important for your needs. No, you don't have to spend almost $30 on a damn strainer! I'm a big fan of only buying the stuff you actually need when you need it, not the stuff you might need in the future because someone else told you you need it. If you find yourself needing a blender, buy one. If you find the food you like to cook doesn't require one, don't buy one. This guy says get a stand mixer and not a slow cooker! WHOA THERE! I use a slow cooker all the time and never once in my life did I think about getting a stand mixer. The other thing is I (and probably 90% of everyone else I know) don't have room for a stand mixer. I don't even know a single person who has one due to their bulkiness and expense. And a kitchen scale because "Professional chefs measure many things by weight rather than volume since ingredient density can vary?" Um, well I mostly guesstimate my ingredients and my food tastes just as good. I even guesstimate some things when baking which people say will RUIN YOUR CAKE but I never had a problem with it. I also have never used a wooden spoon in my kitchen.
