The kitchen utensils are the hand tools to do the food preparation activities in the kitchen: for cutting food into pieces, cooking food on an open fire or stove, baking, grinding, mixing combining, measuring.
Knives
Knives are the kitchen necessities, as they are used to prepare and cook food. There are many kinds of knives for various applications.

Spoons
We use spoons when we’re stirring stews, scraping pans, and serving. Wooden spoons are more delicate than metal spoons so as not to scratch the delicate surfaces of your cookware.
The slotted spoon has slots or holes in the bowl where you drain things like blanched vegetables, pasta and fried foods. Also, you can use it to scrape foam from soups or scoop cooked eggs from water.
Forks

Measuring cups are kitchen tools you need for accurate recipe-making with scale lines at eye level that are readily legible. Made from glass or plastic, they’re compact and don’t hold odours; all of which makes for great measuring!
