The Last Garden Day Of The Year

There is a Saturday every fall when I want everybody outside. Not an hour here and twenty minutes tomorrow, but one day, one list, and one final push before the garden belongs to winter. This works far better than letting cleanup drag into December. A hose gets forgotten behind the shed, a rain barrel freezes […]

Kitchen Items Every Cook From Scratch Parent Needs

Stashers For Storage

Cooking from scratch is one of the best gifts we can give our families. It saves money, it stretches our food storage, and it lets us know exactly what’s going into the meals we put on the table. But let me be honest with you, my friends: cooking from scratch is so much easier when you have the right tools in your kitchen. You don’t need a fancy gourmet setup or a kitchen full of gadgets. You just need a handful of dependable, hardworking items that will serve you well for years.

Today I want to share the kitchen items every cook-from-scratch mom or dad needs. These are the tools I reach for again and again, and many of them have been with me for a very long time. Whether you’re just starting your scratch-cooking journey or have been at it for years, I hope this list helps you build a kitchen that works for your family. This picture below had 2.1 million views in two days on FaceBook/Instagram. That has never happened to me. I really feel like people want to learn to make bread, right?

Why the Right Kitchen Tools Matter for Scratch Cooking

When you cook from scratch, you make bread, soups, casseroles, cookies, and sauces using basic pantry ingredients. That means more chopping, mixing, baking, and storing than if you were opening a box. Good tools save you time and energy, and they help you turn your stored flour, sugar, beans, pasta, and rice into meals your family will love.

Quality tools are also part of being prepared. If the grocery store shelves are thin or money is tight, a well-equipped kitchen lets you make nearly anything from the basics you already have on hand.

  1. Bread Maker

A bread maker is one of my favorite tools for busy families. You simply add your flour, yeast, water, salt, sugar, and oil, choose your setting, and walk away. A few hours later, your home smells like a bakery.

I love that a bread maker takes the guesswork out of kneading and rising. Many machines also have a dough setting, so you can let the machine do the hard work, then shape your dough into dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, or pizza crust, and bake them in your oven. If you store wheat or flour for long-term food storage, a bread maker helps you actually use it. Homemade bread costs a fraction of store-bought bread, and you control every ingredient. My good friend has this one: Cuisinart Bread Maker. I have this one: Zojirushi Virtuoso Plus 2 Lb Breadmaker. We set ours on “Dough” and then bake two loaves in our kitchen stove when the bread maker finishes mixing, resting, and rising. I use these pans (one pound each). Size:  7.75 x 3.75 x 2.5. Fat Daddio Bread Pans.

  1. Hand Mixer, KitchenAid Stand Mixer, or Bosch Bread Mixer

Not everyone has the counter space or budget for a large stand mixer, and that’s perfectly fine. A good hand mixer can handle most of your everyday mixing jobs. I use mine for whipping cream, mashing potatoes, beating eggs, and mixing cake batter and cookie dough.

A hand mixer is lightweight, easy to store in a drawer or cupboard, and quick to clean. Look for one with several speed settings and sturdy beaters. It’s a small investment that makes a big difference.

If you have the counter space and the budget, a KitchenAid Stand Mixer is a wonderful upgrade from a hand mixer. It handles heavy jobs like mixing large batches of cookie dough and whipping frosting, leaving your hands free for other tasks. I love that it can run on its own while I measure the next ingredients or wipe down the counter. KitchenAid also offers attachments like a pasta roller, meat grinder, and shredder, so one machine can do the work of several. With good care, a KitchenAid Stand Mixer can last for decades, and many families pass theirs down to the next generation. Please note: I DON’T recommend it for making bread. They go on sale at Costco and Sam’s frequently, so keep your eyes open for a special deal.

A Bosch bread mixer is a favorite among serious home bread bakers, and for good reason. Its powerful motor sits beneath the bowl, giving it the strength to knead large batches of heavy whole-wheat dough without straining. You can mix enough dough for several loaves at once, which is perfect for busy families who want to bake for the whole week or stock the freezer. Many families who store wheat love the Bosch because it pairs so well with freshly ground flour, and attachments like a blender, slicer, and grain mill make it even more useful. If homemade bread is a regular part of your kitchen, a Bosch bread mixer is an investment that’ll serve you well for many years.

I need my Bosch when I’m making dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, or anytime I need to use 14 cups of flour. My 6-quart KitchenAid would burn up the motor with that much flour. My six-quart works great for what I need it for. Now I see they have 7-quart and 8-quart units.

  1. Whisks and Danish Whisks

Every scratch kitchen needs a few whisks. I like to keep a large balloon whisk for eggs and batters, a smaller whisk for sauces and gravies, and a flat whisk for getting into the corners of a skillet. Whisks and Danish Whisks.

A whisk helps you make smooth gravy without lumps, blend dry ingredients evenly, and whip up a quick salad dressing. They’re inexpensive, they last forever, and they never need electricity. That makes them a wonderful tool for preparedness too.

  1. Cast Iron Pans

If I could only keep one type of pan, it would be cast iron. A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will last for generations. Many families still cook with the same skillets their grandmothers used, and I just love that.

Cast iron goes from the stovetop to the oven, and it can even be used over a campfire or on a grill if the power goes out. It holds heat beautifully, which makes it perfect for searing meat, frying potatoes, baking cornbread, and making skillet cookies.

To care for your cast iron, wash it with hot water and a brush, dry it completely right away, and rub a thin layer of oil on it while it’s still warm. With a little love, your cast iron pans will get better every year.

  1. Bread Pans

Even if you own a bread maker, you’ll want a few good bread pans. Baking loaves in the oven gives you that classic shape that’s perfect for sandwiches and toast. Bread pans are also wonderful for banana bread, zucchini bread, pumpkin bread, and meatloaf.

I recommend having at least two bread pans so you can bake a double batch. Freeze one loaf and enjoy the other right away. Glass, metal, and stoneware all work well, so choose the style you like best. I use these pans (one-pound loaves per pan). Size:  7.75 x 3.75 x 2.5. Fat Daddio Bread Pans.

Bread Pans
  1. Casserole Pans

Casserole pans are the backbone of family dinners. A standard 9-by-13-inch pan is a must for lasagna, enchiladas, baked chicken, breakfast casseroles, brownies, and sheet cakes. I also like to keep an 8-by-8-inch pan for smaller meals and side dishes.

Casseroles are a wonderful way to use what you have in your pantry and freezer. You can assemble one in the morning, refrigerate it, and bake it at dinnertime. Many casseroles also freeze beautifully, making them perfect for stocking your freezer or for taking a meal to a neighbor who needs a little help. This is my favorite casserole dish; it cleans up so easily. Emile Henry Casserole Pan

  1. Dutch Oven

A Dutch oven is one of the most versatile pieces in my kitchen. It’s a heavy pot with a tight-fitting lid, usually made from cast iron or enameled cast iron. You can brown meat, simmer soups and stews, braise roasts, cook beans, and even bake crusty artisan bread in it.

A Dutch oven works on the stove, in the oven, and outdoors over a charcoal fire. That makes it an excellent tool for emergency cooking. If you only buy one large pot, I truly believe a Dutch oven is worth it. It’s one of those kitchen items every cook-from-scratch mom or dad will use week after week.

Please note: the Ceramic Dutch Ovens can only be used indoors, not on charcoal.

  1. Butter Bell for Butter

Have you ever tried to spread cold butter on a soft slice of homemade bread and torn it right in half? A Butter Bell solves that problem. It’s a two-piece crock that keeps butter soft and spreadable on your counter without letting it spoil quickly.

You pack softened butter into the bell-shaped lid, add a little cool water to the base, and place the lid upside down into the base. The water creates a seal that keeps air out and helps keep the butter fresh. Just change the water every few days. I love having soft butter ready for warm rolls, toast, and pancakes. Butter Bell

  1. Souper Cubes for Storage

Souper Cubes are silicone freezer trays with lids that let you freeze soups, broths, sauces, and leftovers in perfectly portioned blocks. They come in several sizes, and each compartment has fill lines so you know exactly how much you’re freezing.

Here is how I use them. I make a big pot of soup, chili, or homemade bone broth, ladle it into the Souper Cubes, and freeze it. Once the portions are frozen solid, I pop them out and store them in a freezer bag or container. Then I can pull out just what I need for a quick lunch or dinner. This saves freezer space, reduces waste, and makes scratch cooking feel so much easier on busy days. Souper Cubes I freezer my rice, buttermilk, my homemade dog food, encore meals, etc. You can even bake in them (please read the directions; I have never cooked in them).

  1. Stashers for Making Food Ahead of Time

Stasher bags are reusable silicone storage bags, and I use them all the time for meal prep. They can go in the freezer, the refrigerator, and the dishwasher, so they’re wonderful for making food ahead of time. Stashers for my Bread Mixture and the Stasher Racks

I use Stashers to marinate meat, store chopped vegetables, freeze homemade freezer meals, pack snacks, and keep cookie dough ready to bake. Because they’re reusable, they save money on disposable plastic bags over time. When you spend an afternoon prepping meals for the week, having good storage bags makes the whole process go more smoothly.

  1. Cookie Sheets

Good cookie sheets aren’t just for cookies. I use mine for roasting vegetables, baking chicken, making sheet pan dinners, toasting nuts, drying herbs, and freezing berries or meatballs before I bag them.

I recommend having at least two or three heavy rimmed baking sheets. Thin, flimsy pans can warp in the oven and burn the bottoms of your cookies. A sturdy pan bakes evenly and will last for years.

  1. Parchment Paper

Parchment paper is one of those simple things that makes life so much easier. Line your cookie sheets, cake pans, and bread pans with parchment, and your baked goods slide right off. Cleanup becomes almost effortless.

I also use parchment paper to separate layers of cookies or burger patties in the freezer, to roll out pie crust, and to wrap foods for baking. It’s an inexpensive item worth keeping in your pantry at all times.

  1. Kitchen Drawer Organizers

In case you didn’t know, I am OCD. I have to have “stuff” organized. I have kitchen drawer organizers. When you cook from scratch, you collect measuring cups, measuring spoons, spatulas, whisks, peelers, and wooden spoons. If your drawers are a jumbled mess, you waste precious time digging for what you need.

Drawer organizers keep everything in its place so you can grab the right tool quickly. I like adjustable dividers because they can be rearranged as my needs change. An organized kitchen is a calmer kitchen, and when the kitchen is calm, cooking becomes a joy rather than a chore. IDesign Kitchen Drawer Organizers

14. Instant Pot/Zavor Pressure Cooker

An Instant Pot is an electric pressure cooker that has become a real workhorse in many scratch cooking kitchens, including mine. It can pressure-cook, sauté, steam, slow-cook, and keep food warm, all in one pot. That means fewer dishes and more time with your family. Please note, I have a Zavor pressure cooker. I taught classes, and that’s the one I used to teach people before the Instant Pot became so popular. I bought an Instant Pot to try and gave it away to someone. A lot of people love them. Instant Pot

What I love most about the Instant Pot is how it helps me use my food storage. Dried beans that would normally need to soak overnight and simmer for hours can be cooked in a fraction of the time. Brown rice, steel-cut oats, and tough cuts of meat become tender and delicious in under an hour. I also use mine to make homemade bone broth, yogurt, applesauce, and hard-boiled eggs that peel so easily.

The sauté function is a wonderful bonus. You can brown your meat and onions right in the pot, then add your liquids and pressure cook your soup or stew without dirtying another pan. On those busy evenings when dinner needs to happen fast, the Instant Pot is a true blessing.

One quick note for my canning friends: even though the Instant Pot is a pressure cooker, it isn’t recommended for pressure canning. Please continue to use a proper pressure canner to preserve low-acid foods safely.

15. Slow Cooker

A slow cooker is one of the simplest and most dependable tools a busy mom or dad can own. You add your ingredients in the morning, set it to low or high, and come home to a hot, hearty meal ready to serve. There’s something so comforting about walking in the door to the smell of dinner already cooking.

Slow cookers are perfect for soups, stews, chili, pot roast, pulled pork, shredded chicken, and even oatmeal overnight. They turn inexpensive cuts of meat into tender, flavorful meals, which helps stretch your grocery budget. I often use mine on Sundays so dinner is waiting for us after church.

A slow cooker is also wonderful for feeding a crowd. Take it to potlucks, family gatherings, and church dinners, or use it to keep food warm during holidays when your oven is full.

For food safety, always thaw meat before adding it to your slow cooker, and boil dried red kidney beans for at least 10 minutes before slow-cooking them. With those simple steps, your slow cooker will serve your family well for many years.

16. Can Opener

A good can opener may seem small, but it’s one of the most important tools in any scratch-cooking or food-storage kitchen. Whether you’re opening canned tomatoes for a pot of chili or reaching for canned beans from your pantry, you need an opener that works every single time. I always recommend keeping a sturdy manual can opener on hand, even if you own an electric unit, because it’ll still work when the power goes out. Look for one with comfortable handles and a sharp cutting wheel, and consider keeping an extra in your emergency kit. After all, your food storage is only helpful if you can open it.

Why It’s Important To Know How To Cook From Scratch

Tips for Building Your Scratch Cooking Kitchen on a Budget

You don’t have to buy everything at once. Start with the items you’ll use most, like a cast iron skillet, a casserole pan, and a cookie sheet. Then add one item at a time as your budget allows.

Check thrift stores, yard sales, and estate sales for cast iron and Dutch ovens. You can often find older pieces that only need a good cleaning and a fresh coat of seasoning.

Ask for kitchen tools as birthday or Christmas gifts. Family members are often happy to give something practical that you’ll use every day.

Buy quality when you can. A well-made pan or Dutch oven may cost a little more up front, but it will outlast cheaper options many times over.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the most important kitchen item for cooking from scratch?

If I had to choose just one, I would pick a cast iron skillet or a Dutch oven. Both are incredibly versatile and will last a lifetime with proper care.

Do I really need a bread maker to make homemade bread?

No, you can absolutely make bread by hand. A bread maker simply saves time and effort, which is a big help for busy parents.

Are Souper Cubes worth it?

If you make soups, broths, or sauces in large batches, Souper Cubes make freezing and portioning so much easier. They help you use what you cook and reduce waste.

How do Stasher bags help with meal prep?

Stashers are reusable and safe for the freezer and dishwasher, so they’re perfect for marinating, storing prepped ingredients, and freezing make-ahead meals.

Final Word

Cooking from scratch is a beautiful way to care for your family, stretch your grocery budget, and make the most of your food storage. With these kitchen items every cook-from-scratch parent needs, you’ll be ready to bake bread, simmer soups, roast dinners, and prep meals in advance with confidence.

Remember, you don’t need everything today. Build your kitchen slowly, take care of your tools, and enjoy the time you spend cooking for the people you love. Some of my sweetest memories have happened right there in the kitchen, with flour on the counter and family gathered around the table.

15 High-Value Stockpiling Items Under $2

A medic I served with used to say the gear that saves people costs less than lunch. He was right more often than not, because what takes a man out of the fight is rarely dramatic. A fire you couldn’t start, water you couldn’t trust, a cut nobody cleaned properly.

You filled the pantry years ago and your water plan has a backup by now. What tends to be thin is the oddball stuff, the two-dollar items that solve one specific problem a full pantry won’t touch. None of what follows needs power, and none of it will dent your budget.

15. Rubber Bands

A bag costs less than a candy bar and earns its keep a dozen ways. Wrap a split tent pole, bundle loose wiring, or hold a bandage in place when you’ve run out of tape. Stretch a few across a forked branch, and you’ve got an ancient slingshot for small game, useful if you have to ration ammunition.

👉 Click here to learn how to make the ancient slingshot at home

Grab a mixed bag with a few heavy-duty ones in the mix, since the thin office kind snap in cold weather. Keep a handful in every kit you own, because the moment you need one, you usually need three.

14. Potassium Permanganate Crystals

A small jar costs under two dollars and does three separate jobs that normally need three separate products. Mixed with a bit of glycerin, it ignites on its own, giving you fire without a spark or a flame. Beyond that, you can use it for:

  • Skin: diluted into a soak, it helps with fungal infections like athlete’s foot, along with acne, dermatitis, and canker sores
  • Wounds: a dilute solution cleans a wound by killing bacteria, fungi, and viruses, helping keep infection from setting in
  • Water: a light dose disinfects fruits and vegetables washed in questionable water

A little goes a long way, and too much turns your skin purple for days, so measure carefully and keep the crystals away from anything flammable in storage. Get the dilution wrong, though, and you’ve got a chemical burn instead of a remedy. Here’s the step-by-step guide to using potassium permanganate safely before you reach for that jar.

13. Moleskin Paddings

A sheet of this runs about two dollars and prevents a problem that ends evacuations early. If you ever have to walk out instead of drive, a blister that forms three miles in can slow you down to a crawl, and an infected one can take you out of commission entirely. Moleskin stops a hot spot before it becomes a blister.

Cut a piece slightly bigger than the irritated spot and smooth the edges down so they don’t catch on your sock. Check your feet at every break, since catching it early is the whole trick.

12. Anti-Diarrheal Tablets

This one might do more to keep someone alive than anything else on the list. Fluid loss from a stomach bug or bad water moves faster than most people realize, and once dehydration sets in, everything else you’ve stockpiled becomes harder to use because the person who needs it can’t think straight or stand up.

A box of loperamide tablets, under two dollars, slows that fluid loss down directly, buying time for rehydration salts and rest to actually catch up.

11. A Small Mirror

Pilots scanning for a downed car or a stranded hiker say a mirror flash is one of the easiest signals to pick out from the air, even from miles away on a clear day. A small signal mirror costs under a dollar and does that job better than shouting or waving ever could. It also lets you check a wound on your own back or the back of your neck, somewhere you’d otherwise need a second person to look.

Practice angling it toward the sun at home first, so you know how to aim the flash before you actually need it. Keep it flat in a wallet or a first aid kit so it doesn’t scratch.

10. Honey Packets

These never go bad. Archaeologists have found jars of honey in ancient Egyptian tombs still perfectly edible thousands of years later. Applied to a clean wound, honey has natural antibacterial properties and keeps the area moist enough to heal without cracking back open, and in a pinch it’s a fast source of real sugar for someone running on empty.

Keep a handful in your medical kit specifically, separate from the ones in your food stock, so you’re not digging through meal supplies to find one when you need it for a cut.

BIG offer

9. Baking Soda

Never throw water on a grease fire. It splashes the burning oil everywhere and makes things worse instead of better. Baking soda, on the other hand, smothers it in seconds, so keep a box within arm’s reach of the stove at all times.

That’s just one use for a box that costs about a dollar. Mix a little with water and it works as toothpaste in a pinch, and a spoonful stirred into a glass of water helps settle an upset stomach. Keep one box by the stove for fires, and a second one with your toiletries so it’s not caked in flour when you need it for your teeth.

8. A Mylar Emergency Blanket

Hypothermia sets in faster than people expect, even in mild weather, once someone is wet and exhausted, and it’s the cold itself that rarely gets the blame in time.

A Mylar blanket, about a dollar, does more work per ounce than almost anything else on this list at holding body heat in. Turn it the other way and the same reflective side bounces sunlight for signaling or shades you from direct heat during the day.

7. Vaseline-Soaked Cotton Balls

Work a dab of Vaseline into a cotton ball until it’s saturated and you’ve got one of the most reliable fire starters around, for about two dollars a batch. It burns for several minutes instead of the few seconds plain cotton gives you, which is the difference between catching a fire and watching one die in damp wood.

As you may already know, the same jar doubles as a barrier against windburn and lip chapping. Pack a handful of the soaked balls in a small waterproof container so they don’t dry out.

6. Tea Bags

A cooled, used tea bag pressed against a sunburn or an irritated eye brings real relief, since the tannins reduce swelling. Chamomile settles a nervous stomach, and a strong black tea gives you caffeine when you run out of coffee. 

Store-bought bags run out, though. Better to have your own and stuff them into empty tea bags yourself. So make sure you grow the 10 herbs you need when SHTF and your tea cabinet can become your pharmacy when you run out of medicine. Grab a pack of empties now while they cost almost nothing. 

5. Bouillon Cubes

Stored food gets boring fast, and bland food gets left uneaten even when it’s all you’ve got. A pack of a dozen bouillon cubes costs about a dollar and fixes that two ways. Dissolved in hot water, a cube replaces the salt you sweat out doing physical work. Stirred into a pot of rice or beans you’re sick of, it makes the same old meal taste like food again.

As they’re stating in this must-have survival food guide, bouillon cubes last well over 5 years when stored properly. Vacuum-sealed or kept in airtight glass jars works best. Bone broth powders stretch that to 4 to 7 years kept cool and dry, and they bring electrolytes, minerals and collagen along with the flavor.

4. Activated Charcoal Tablets

A bottle of activated charcoal costs under two dollars and does two jobs you can’t easily replace. Swallow it right after ingesting something toxic and it binds to many common poisons in the stomach before they’re absorbed, buying you time on the way to real help. It won’t work on every poison, so never treat it as a substitute for calling for help the moment you can.

Crush up those same tablets, pack them between layers of sand and gravel, and you’ve got a filter that pulls the sediment, odor and chemicals out of water you’d otherwise walk away from. Here’s how to build a charcoal water filter from what’s already in your yard. Boil whatever comes out the bottom before anyone drinks it.

3. A Whistle

The phones went down across New Orleans during Katrina. People trapped in their attics couldn’t dial 911 even once, so Coast Guard crews started cutting their engines in flooded neighborhoods just to listen. The first man they pulled out that way was on a roof with his kid, waving a towel and blowing a whistle.

Three short blasts is the distress signal, and it costs you almost nothing compared to yelling. A dollar whistle carries farther than your voice ever will, and it still works when you’ve got no voice left at all. Clip one to every pack and coat zipper in the house.

Find more life-saving tricks like this one in the biggest survival library ever put together.

2. Antihistamine Tablets

Bee stings, poison ivy, a sudden reaction to food you don’t normally eat — a basic antihistamine handles all of it. An 8-count box of diphenhydramine softgels runs about $1.25 at Dollar Tree, and the 100-count bottle at Walmart brings you down to roughly 4 cents a tablet.

Check the label for interactions with any medication you already take, and keep a few loose tablets in your wallet or truck kit, not just the house supply.

Bottles run out, though, and that’s when a pollen season soothing balm earns its place on the shelf. Made from natural oils pressed out of medicinal herbs, it calms irritated skin and eases seasonal discomfort when the tablets are gone.

Here’s how to make it at home:

antihistamine FHA

1. Dental Floss

A spool costs about a dollar and holds more weight than most people give it credit for. Unwaxed floss works as thread for repairing gear, as cordage for lashing a splint, or as fishing line in a pinch when your spool runs dry. It’s also stronger than most people expect for its size, which matters when you’re sewing a torn pack strap back together in the field.

That’s why dental floss made the list of the 100 items you need for survival. 

Buy the unwaxed kind if you can, since wax coats your needle and makes stitching harder. A full spool weighs almost nothing and takes up less room than a lighter.

Where to Keep All of This

Filling the Rest of Your Stockpile

Two shoeboxes of cheap fixes cover the small emergencies, but a long crisis eats through far more than floss and rubber bands. So once those boxes are packed and labeled, the next question is what else belongs on the shelves beside them. And the order you buy it in matters, because money and storage space both run out long before the list does.

To build a stockpile that holds up through weeks at home, and keep it organized so you can find anything in the dark, you need a clear list to work from. My favorite survival guide walks you through the 100 must-have stockpile items one by one, so you know what to buy first and what can wait.

From there, this guide shows you how to store and rotate each one before anything spoils on you.

This way you will learn:

  • What items vanished first after Hurricane Katrina
  • Things you throw away that belong in your stockpile
  • What you probably forgot to buy at the dollar store
  • The only 4 antibiotics you need to stockpile
  • What happens if you take expired medications
  • What to do if they find out you have a stockpile

Start with the first ten items on the list, and your shelves will look very different by spring.
