I need to stock my new kitchen with chopping implements and gadgets.
So forum I ask you.
What kitchen implements can't you live without, and what brands are your ride or dies?
Weird but forums are usually very helpful.

I swear by my Sage coffee machine.
Global make great knives
Anything else is personal preference but a good set of knives is always a good start. |

My knives are by Flint and Flame. Expensive but worth it. Sharp knives that do not easily lose their edge are a must.
I would add a good quality food processor to the list. Mine is a Magimix 4200, but you do not have to spend that much. Its big advantage is a small footprint, but there are plenty now that are similar. A food processor makes many chores that much easier. Especially cake making.
Lastly a small but useful blender.

"Neff hide and slide, self cleaning oven.  "
I'm heavily pleased by my Bosch oven and microwaves. Very expensive but so versatile. This brand does not have hide and slide but it has a soft close oven door - it cannot slam. Mine is also pyrolytic self-cleaning but that function is energy hungry on any oven. Best to clean regularly to minimise the number of times it is used |

Another vote for Global knives from me. We have 5 but I only really use the chef's, paring and cheese knives.
We have a Go Cook aluminium marble wok from Tesco which is excellent for the price, used at least once a week for years with no problems.
If you are heading to Ikea their solid aluminium ice cream scoop and silicon spatulas are really good and I use their baby food bowls for putting prepped veg etc in.
If you eat meat then a 'pressure king' pressure cooker is a nice to have as you can cook a stew in 30 minutes rather than hours.
If there's a 'garlic man' at Birmingham Christmas Markets, pick up a garlic plate. The plate is okay but the little rubber tube for peeling the garlic is brilliant.

Dick knives are good. (I’m not trying to make a joke there - Dick is genuinely a decent brand.) I have Dick scissors too and they’re great.
Dick Dick Dick. 
You need a good quality chopping board as well. Butcher’s block, and heavy (so it stays still).
Maybe a cheap, compact sharpener too?
One good non-stick pan and one heavy cast iron one with a lid (so it can double up and do oven duty as well as hob). |
