Utensils are the tools used in cooking and serving food. All these tools are made of different materials like metal, plastic, wood, ceramics, stainless steel etc. They are designed in such a way that our cooking can be done very efficiently and easily.

Hello friends, I hope you are all well. There must be utensils in the room where cooking is done. In our family, my mother cooks. My mother's kitchen has various utensils. Through today's contest, I will share with you all the utensils used in our cooking.

Could you tell us a bit about your utensils?

Most of the utensils in our house are made of stainless steel. As we have our own ship recycling business, we can buy all these utensils directly from the ship yard. My mother cooks for our entire family. All the utensils needed for cooking are there. Some of these utensils are used for regular cooking, and the rest are showcased and used for various occasions. So let's see my mother's kitchen.

In our kitchen, some shelves are made to keep utensils. In which the utensils used in different recipes are kept separately and all kinds of safety measures have been taken in the kitchen, Our kitchen will be around 200 square feet in size .

What are your special kitchen utensils, how much do they help or simplify your life when cooking and how often do you use them?

Our staple food is rice. So the most used kitchen utensil for cooking rice in every meal is the rice cooker. We have two rice cookers. But the biggest rice cooker used for cooking has a capacity of 1.8 liters. Through it, rice is cooked very easily in a short time without any trouble.

After cooking rice, curry is required to be eaten with it. Different-sized pots are used for cooking curry. In this case normal curry is cooked with all the pots which are made of steel. Especially any vegetable and simple curries that are made with few ingredients. In their case, these different-sized pots are used for cooking.About 70% of the pots shown here are unused because we have more utensils than we need for cooking.

Then spices are needed to cook a curry or dish. We do not use ready-made spices packed in the market for cooking at home. The spices used in our cooking are bought raw and first dried in the sun. When the spices are sufficiently dried in the sun, they are converted into powder by this grinder machine.

Pressure cookers are used when preparing heavy dishes, especially those that use meat and poultry. It makes the meat juicy and tender in just a few minutes and with less energy consumption. Moreover, various stews and soups are prepared through them. One of the advantages of these pressure cookers is that they use 50 percent less energy.

We have different sizes of Bowls to serve the dishes after cooking. Curries and various dishes are served on the table in bowls. They are kept on spoons and straws. Moreover, noodles and soup are served in these bowls. They are made of ceramics, so they are always kept carefully in the showcase and only taken out before serving.

What is your favorite utensil, the one that stands out from the rest, how did it come into your life? Tell us if it was a gift or a purchase, tell us its function.

The most-loved cooking utensil that is most used and most needed is the gas stove. Our house has two gas stoves with two burners. Among them, this stove of prestige is used more in cooking. Without it, cooking would be almost impossible. Although only rice is cooked in a rice cooker, it is also used to cook everything else.

This gas stove is about three years old now. It is a reputed company. It was bought from a kitchenware shop we know, and an LPG gas cylinder is connected to it. It is used about 7 to 8 times in 24 hours for cooking, food heating, and other essential tasks. It is mostly used in cooking.

	We need one to two gas cylinders every month for cooking. Each gas cylinder holds 13.2 kg of liquid LPG gas. Currently, the price of gas per cylinder is 1600 BDT/15.29 USD. When these cylinders are empty, they have to be refilled. A cylinder sometimes lasts 20 to 25 days, and sometimes it ends in 15 to 20 days.

Conclusion

A chef and utensils are like a symphony, creating culinary masterpieces with each harmonious movement. In the room where there is a kitchen, there will be utensils. All these utensils have a close relationship with a cook.
