COOKING UTENSIL S AND

EQUIPMENTS

A kitchen utensil is a hand-held, typically small tool or utensil that is

used in the kitchen, for food-related functions. A cooking utensilis a utensil

used in the kitchen for cooking. Other names for the same thing, or subsets

thereof, derive from the word "ware", and describe kitchen utensils from a

merchandising (and functional) point of view: kitchenware, wares for the

kitchen; ovenware and bake ware, kitchen utensils that are for use inside

ovens and for baking; cookware, merchandise used for cooking and so

forth.

A partially overlapping category of tools is that of eating utensils,

which are tools used for eating (c.f. the more general category of

tableware). Some utensils are both kitchen utensils and eating

utensils. Cutlery (i.e. knives and other cutting implements) can be used for

both food preparation in a kitchen and as eating utensils when dining.

Other flat wares such as forks and spoons are both kitchen and eating

utensils.

Other names used for various types of kitchen utensils, although not

strictly denoting a utensil that is specific to the kitchen, are according to the

materials they are made of, again using the "ware" suffix, rather than their

functions: earthenware, utensils made of clay, silverware, utensils (both

kitchen and dining) made of silver; glassware, utensils (both kitchen and

dining) made of glass; and so forth. These latter categorizations include

utensils — made of glass, silver, clay, and so forth — that are not

necessarily kitchen utensils.

The pictures above show the cooking utensil and equipment that are

commonly use in the kitchen. They are:

Gas Stove

In cooking, a gas stove is a cooker which uses natural

gas, propane, butane, liquefied petroleum gas or other flammable gas as

a fuel source.

Oven

Microwave ovens heat foods quickly and efficiently, and because excitation

is fairly uniform in the outer of a dense food item, food is more evenly

heated throughout (except in thick dense objects) than generally occurs in

other cooking techniques.

Grill

A barbecue grill is a device for cooking food by applying heat directly from

below. It is used as the cooking method between barbecue grillers.

Refrigerator

A refrigerator (colloquially fridge) is a commonhousehold

appliance that consists of a thermally insulated compartment and

a heat pump(mechanical, electronic, or chemical) that transfers heat

from the inside of the fridge to its external environment so that the

inside of the fridge is cooled to a temperature below the ambient

temperature of the room. 

It is used to cool the food by decreasing or even arresting the

reproduction rate of bacteria. The device is thus used to reduce the

rate of spoilage of foodstuffs.

Knife

A knife (plural knives) is a cutting tool in the kitchen to cut the meat,

vegetable and so on.
