Across
- 3. these are great for lifting things out of water, or turning thick meat over in a frying pan/skillet, such as salmon fillets.
- 8. if you’re making sauces, you’ll definitely want one of these. Admittedly, electric whisks and whisk attachments to hand blenders take a lot of effort out of whisking.
- 10. – this high-sided tin is great for roasting things in, as it lets the juices gather at the bottom
- 15. will be used to remove food from the water. The slots in the spoon will allow the majority of water to fall away in the process.
- 16. – if you have an oven, you’re going to need something to bake food in
- 18. bags – great for storing prepared ingredients in the fridge or freezer.
- 19. – even if you don’t admit to eating much pizza, these are quite good to have. They can also be used to divide up flatbread.
- 20. towels – these aren’t just for drying up dishes. They can cover food without risk of trapping too much moisture, which is essential in the preparation of some dishes.
- 21. is great for removing food from frying pans/skillets. The slots in the spatula will allow excess grease and fat to fall away whilst removing.
- 23. wrap/clingfilm – these will help keep any food fresh and bug-free during preparation or keeping excess ingredients fresh for longer
Down
- 1. you’ll need one for stirring your cooking. We recommend a traditional wooden spoon as it’s less likely to warp or melt in direct heat.
- 2. – if you prefer beer over wine, then you’ll certainly need one of these
- 4. – this is essential for ensuring good hygiene in your kitchen.
- 5. – whilst you will be doing a lot of cooking in the frying pan/skillet, you’ll need a high-sided pan too, especially for sauces.
- 6. – an essential piece of kitchenware. You can use this to shallow fry a variety of ingredients.
- 7. just for cookies, but for anything that requires easy slide-off access to remove once cooked.
- 9. these will help prevent nasty burns when removing things from the oven
- 11. – admittedly, this looks more like an odd-shaped spoon than a fork.
- 12. especially good for potatoes, but great for pulping other food such as avocado.
- 13. square pieces of fabric make it easy to remove hot pots from the stove and protect your hands in the process.
- 14. – although many wine bottles now come with screw caps, there’s still plenty that have a wooden or a plastic cork in them. Don’t get caught out by not having one of these about the house
- 17. bin/box – keeping bread in one of these ensures that the bread stays well ventilated, out of direct light, and dry, increasing its shelf life
- 22. – great for serving up soups, but also for more fluid food such as dahl
