What do you think about when you think of must have tools in the kitchen? Everyone probably has a few personal favorites, like a bread maker, a deep fryer, or a rice cooker. My personal must have favorite is definitely a deep fryer. But not everyone has a need for a deep fryer. There are a few items I think though that every kitchen must have, like a good knife, a big cutting board and a box grater. Those kind of items make kitchen tasks so much easier. Our friends over at the Daily Meal have put together a list of 10 essential kitchen tools that every kitchen should have.

Here’s our 5 favorite essential tools from their list:

Food Processor
Food processors were an item that for years I thought I could do without. Boy was I wrong. I could not believe how versatile it was and how much simpler it made kitchen tasks. This little must have kitchen appliance can make pie crusts, chop all sorts of fruits, vegetables, nuts, and can even grate cheese. I don't know how I lived without one now.
