You get a massive bang for your buck! A box or two of orzo is great to have on hand because it can be used as either rice or pasta. Additionally, it is a nutritious topping and gives salads a unique taste. You should buy the one made from whole-grain flour instead of white flour as it provides more calories. If you bake a lot, you should make sure you always have extra flour in your pantry.
If you don't already have a collection of pasta boxes in your kitchen, now is the time to start one. Chris Riley, chef, recipe developer, and co-founder of The Daring Kitchen , says it's a must-have, explaining, "It is not expensive and is easy to stock up and store. You can get all different types of noodles like rigatoni, fettuccini, shells, spaghetti, farfalle.
Pasta is an easy and quick main ingredient to make and combined with some canned vegetables you can get a delicious meal only using pantry products. Peanut butter is a great pantry staple, but it's certainly not the only versatile nut butter out there.
Vetter says, "I love the nutty, savory flavor of almond butter and use it in a ton of different ways. Make a sauce with almond butter, coconut milk, ginger, garlic, crushed red pepper, and soy for a quick stir-fry sauce for veggies or to create a hot or cold noodle bowl.
As a snack, stir in some cinnamon and sour cream or cream cheese to make a dipper for celery sticks or pretzels. While fresh veggies are preferable, canned vegetables are great to have for certain dishes, and they're better than nothing if fresh isn't available. These pantry must haves are perfect for soups, casseroles, and meat-based dinners. Look for canned veggies like tomatoes, beans, corn, and vegetable, chicken, and beef stock.
Hot sauce is an excellent thing to have on hand, especially if you like some spice with your food. You can add it to breakfast, lunch, or dinner—basically whatever you're eating. One way to make your fresh veggies last longer is to pickle them, then store them in tightly closed jars. They taste great, last for a while, and work well as a snack. These store well for long periods of time. Vegetables like turnips, beets, radishes, and celeriac can add an interesting flavor to dishes.
Pour the hot pickling liquid over vegetables to submerge them and seal the jar. Boxed mac and cheese is great as is, but it also offers the opportunity to make it taste even better. Jorge Gonzalez, Executive Chef of Bobby Hotel says, "To make boxed mac and cheese tastier, add cream cheese to make it creamier and caramelized onions for a sweet richness to counteract the savory.
An incredibly nutritious and easy item to keep in your kitchen is bone broth. You can also extend the life of fresh fruit by making it into homemade jam, which sounds intimidating, but is actually very simple. Osvado Presazzi, Executive Chef of Grand Hotel Tremezzo says, "Homemade jam is a refreshing and simple 'little something sweet' to have for breakfast or dessert. When made with 70 percent fruit from your fridge, this is easy to whip together. Start by using your favorite fruit on hand like apples, cranberries, blueberries, strawberries, plums, or citrus.
Then all you need to add is a little bit of sugar and pectin if your fruit doesn't contain enough natural pectin of its own. Typical fruits that do are citrus like oranges and kumquats. Forget sugar—always keep a jar of honey in your pantry. It's versatile and delicious. Add tons of flavor and a little heat to most of the things you're making with chili bean sauce. I always have their Chili Bean Sauce in my pantry. Its versatility makes it a must-have. You can use it in salad dressings or elevate a simple stir-fry of tofu, baby bok choy, and spring onions.
Nitahara recommends purchasing a wooden spoon with one flat side, which will make it easier to scrape the bottom of your pan or bowl. Look for thin wires when choosing your whisk, Nitahara says. Heat-resistant is the name of the game when looking for a quality spatula. Despite its name, a salad spinner can do a lot more than dry your lettuce. For a better grip, Sexton says she prefers the Y-shaped peelers to the more traditional straight ones.
In addition to the above, Sexton and Nitahara recommend having some basic necessities on hand, including metal tongs , a ladle , a slotted spoon , measuring cups and spoons, a corkscrew , potholders , mixing bowls , a can opener , and baking sheets.
