Gordon Ramsay's Kitchen Essentials

Nonstick pan (Gordon uses pans made by ScanPan, but any well-made pan with a solid, heavy bottom will work.) 
Saucepan 
Frying pan with lid 
Boning knife (Gordon uses Henckles brand knives, but feel free to research brands and purchase what feels best for you. Remember, Gordon says a small collection of high quality sharp knives is better than drawers full of dull, second-rate ones.)
 
Paring knife
 
Bread knife with serrated edge 
Sharpening steel 
Cutting board (The board Gordon uses is a Boos Block. We recommend any substantial wooden cutting board that is at least 24” x 18” in size and not prone to slipping.) 
Microplane grater 
Toaster (any 4-slice toaster will do.) 
Strainer or sieve 
A nice pair of kitchen scissors 
Aluminum foil, plastic wrap, parchment paper (An obvious tip, but you should always have these items on hand!) 
Finishing salt (Gordon’s favorite is Maldon Salt from the UK.)
