Materials of Kitchen utensils and
equipment commonly found in the kitchen
Any cook should be familiar with the correct utensils, devices and
equipment in the kitchen. It is important to consider several things and
not only the price when buying them. The job of cooking requires
specific tools, utensils, and equipment for proper and efficient
preparation of food. Each piece has been designed to accomplish a
specific job in the kitchen.
The tools, utensils and equipment are made of different materials,
each having certain advantages and disadvantages. The following lists
are materials of kitchen utensils and equipment commonly found in the
kitchen.

Aluminum
is the best for all-around use. It is the
most popular, lightweight, attractive
and less expensive. It requires care to
keep it shiny and clean. Much more, it
gives even heat distribution no matter
what heat temperature you have. It is
available in sheet or cast aluminum.
Since it is a soft metal, the lighter
gauges will dent and scratch easily,
making the utensil unusable.
Aluminum turns dark when used with
alkalis, such as potatoes, beets, carrots
and other vegetables. Acid vegetables
like tomatoes will brighten it.

Stainless Steel
• the most popular material used
for tools and equipment, but is
more expensive. It is easier to
clean and shine and will not
wear out as soon as aluminum.

aluminum or laminated steel
bottoms to spread heat and
keep the pot from getting heat
dark spots. Stainless steel
utensils maybe bought in many
gauges from light to heavy.

inside of some aluminum or
steel pots and pans. It helps
food from not sticking to the
pan. It is easier to wash and
clean, however, take care not to
scratch the Teflon coating with
sharp instrument such as knife
or fork. Use wooden or plastic
spatula to turn or mix food
inside.

Plastic and Hard Rubber

chopping boards, table tops,
bowls, trays, garbage pails

much less dulling to knives
than metal and more
sanitary than wood. Plastic

cheap but may not last long.
