• Cutting boards (can you really have too many?)
• Colander/strainer
• Dutch oven
• Funnels
• Wire racks for baking
• Cookie sheets
• Meat thermometer
• Scissors
• Measuring cups (dry and liquid) and spoons
• Glass casserole dishes
• Roasting pans

That is all I can think of that hasn't been posted, at least off the top of my head.

My kitchen is so loaded with everything! But a good cutting board, a few sharp knives, my favorite wooden spoon, a good turner, ladle and cooking fork - and I can do it with no trouble.

Being a potato lover I can't live without my pealer and a hand potato masher. I bought one that has round holes in it and just love it. Less lumps, but I love finding little lumps in my potatoes too! Love making cheese potates. I also have a potato ricer that comes in handy for squishing pumpkin too. Is a bulky tool but if you want no lumps, buy a potato ricer. Kids love using that gadget to test their strength too!
Remind kids, hot potatoes burn too.

Was thinking potato ricer for sure.
Also love my microplaner and a small zester for just doing a smidgon of zest.
I have been really enjoying the foldable cutting boards. I have a very small kitchen and lots of stuff, so storing lots of boards is out of the question.
Put one of these on top of an ugly old built in wood board (pull out type), chop away, pick up and dump in bowl or pot. If changing ingredients, pick another one and go--- I think I have about six now and am surprised at how long they last?
Also for me stand mixer and food processor. Excellent knives are not negotiable!
