To cook a good home cooked meal, you need a few basic pieces of equipment such as pots, pans, knives, cutting boards and utensils. Additionally, you may want to invest in a few appliances such as a blender, food processor or slow cooker to make certain dishes more easily. However, it is important to remember that you do not need fancy or expensive equipment to cook a delicious meal - just a little bit of creativity and know-how.
