A Jordanian kitchen does not require any special tools to prepare its specialties. Here is a guide that encompasses the Jordanian kitchen essentials to give you an idea about the right tools for your kitchen.

A few must haves Jordanian kitchen tools are as follows:
 

1. Pots and pans

Some basic types of pots and pans are essential. One needs to have a set of heavy thick walled pots in a Jordanian kitchen. To start with one should go for a high quality Dutch oven   that is big in size and made of cast iron. Stock Pots can be used for preparing soups, pastas, and purées. Make sure that the one in your kitchen is heavy and large and heats up quickly so that it is easy to cook your favorite recipes. Another must have kitchen tool is a roasting pan. Non-stick cookware can be quite useful but make sure that you keep the steel utensils out of those.
 

2. Knives

One of the most essential tools for a Jordanian kitchen is a set of sharp knives that can be used for cutting vegetables, bread and meat. A chef’s knife is a versatile knife that has a broad blade and a narrow handle. Except for tasks like deboning and carving food, almost every task can be performed using a chef’s knife. It should be 8 to 12 inches long and its structure makes it easier to grasp. Another essential knife in the kitchen is the Paring knife. It is used for peeling, coring apples and other less tedious cutting jobs. Make sure that you buy a sharpener along with the set of knives.
 

3. Spoons

Spoons are a quintessential kitchen tool. It is important to have a set that comprises of a few gravy spoons; a big ladle for soups and gumbos. Make sure that your spoon set is of stainless steel type. The ordinary chrome plated spoons do not last long since they start to rust after repeated and heavy use. One can buy the roux spoon as well. It is mainly used to scrap off the bottom of a pot while preparing roux. One can also buy an ergonomically designed mashing spatula that can be useful in executing various tasks like preparing mashed potatoes and other vegetables.
 

4. Cooking twine

This is a tool that is used to tie stuffed and rolled meat together. It can also be used to tie poultry legs together.
 

5. Whisk

A Whisk is a very important tool for a Jordanian kitchen. For a quick omelet you need to have a sturdy whisk in your kitchen. Make sure that your whisk does not have any bends.
 

6. Thermometer

For those who love to cook meat, this is one of the most essential tools that you need to have in your Jordanian kitchen. You can buy a cheap and useful $10 version or a fancy $100 one which is a little more convenient to use. Make sure that you calibrate the thermometer before use by sticking it in ice-cold water or boiling water and then reset it.
 

Thus a beautiful Jordanian kitchen can be set up easily.
