Equipments in the kitchen

Over the years, I realised that there are some equipments and utensils that is a must have in the kitchen.

Pots of varying sizes:
This comes in handy when you need a big pot for cooking soup for those family gathering occasions. However, you would also need small ones so it's easy to cook that instant noodles. Then you also need those medium ones which if you used a big pot, it's too big, a small pot is not enough. You get what i mean?

Pans/wok:
Of course, we need our most traditional wok for frying and I actually like cooking in a pan, because it's easy to pour the food onto a dish after cooking. And again, you need varying sizes.

Utensils:
Ladles, soup ladles of varying sizes. I do have some measurement spoons when i need to follow the recipes closely for more adventurous dishes. Some people even have the strainer. Do I have? I seem to have, can't remember. Oh yes, not forgetting, i do have that thing you used to pound your pork or chicken pieces.

Cutlery:
I know my category heading seems quite wrong, told you, i'm not an expert. Plates, bowls, cutlery. Serving dishes

Spices/sauces:
five spice powder, basil leaves, thyme, sauces, hua tiao, rice wine, sesame oil etc. Just naming a few here. All sorts of sauces that you buy over the years.

So come to think of it, when moving house, the hardest, troublesome, heaviest and bulky stuff comes from the kitchen.
Troublesome because you have to wrap all the breakable items with newspaper.
Heaviest because imagine putting all the plates and bowls in one box, the box is sure to be very heavy. So you need to separate the plates.
Bulky because if i were to put the rice cooker in a box, that would take up half the space.
mmmm, packing the kitchen can be challenging.
And being the woman of the house, you would definitely wants to know what goes into which box, or when unpacking, you are literally on your own because you need to know where to place the stuff.

Oh yes, talking about this positioning of stuff. Experienced chef or woman who are expert at cooking, the positions of their sauces, pans, utensils, very crucial to their cooking. A person who can cook very well may not cook as well in another person's house because you do not know where that pot is, where that sauce is, where the plates are etc.
