Top 11 Kitchen Essentials You Need for 2025
The kitchen has always been the heart of the home, but in 2025 it is more than just a place to cook — it’s a space of ritual, creativity, and design. Choosing the right essentials not only transforms how you prepare meals, but also how your kitchen feels every day.
Whether you’re moving into a new home, refreshing your space, or investing in timeless upgrades, these 11 must-have kitchen essentials will ensure your kitchen is as functional as it is inspiring.
No.1 - CHOPIT Chopping Board: The Ultimate Designer Piece
The foundation of every kitchen begins with a chopping board. In 2025, functionality alone isn’t enough — design matters.
That’s why CHOPIT leads this list. Each board is crafted from pre-consumer recycled UHMWPE scrap, diverting plastic from landfill and giving it new life as a durable, food-safe surface. Dishwasher safe, resistant to wear, and available in bold colours and sculptural shapes, every board is a piece of functional art made to be seen.
From slicing vegetables to serving bread, a CHOPIT chopping board brings sustainability, durability, and presence to your kitchen. It’s the one essential no modern kitchen should be without.
Why it’s a must-have: Sustainable, durable, and unapologetically stylish.
No. 2 - Premium Stainless Steel Knife Set.
No list is complete without a reliable chef’s knife. In 2025, precision and ergonomics are everything. A great knife reduces prep time, makes cooking effortless, and feels balanced in your hand.
We recommend investing in a set: a serrated knife for bread (best paired with the CHOPIT Baguette Board), a chef’s knife for daily prep, and a utility knife for delicate cuts. Look for premium stainless steel — corrosion-resistant, razor-sharp, and made to last.
Why it’s a must-have: Precision and durability for effortless cooking.

No.3 - Multi-Purpose Tea Towel
Simple but indispensable. A high-quality tea towel handles everything: drying glassware, lifting hot pans, or covering rising dough. Opt for 100% cotton for absorbency and durability, or bamboo for a sustainable alternative.
We love the Hommey Kitchen Towels. Aesthetically designed, soft, and made to last.
Why it’s a must-have: Versatile, absorbent, eco-friendly.
No.4 - Enamel Colander
At CHOPIT, we admire something colourful. A classic piece with vintage appeal. Large enamel colanders aren’t just practical for rinsing and draining — they add a nostalgic design detail to the kitchen. Perfect for batch cooking, yet timeless in style.
Our pick: The Mackenzie-Childs check design colander — eclectic, functional, and iconic.
Why it’s a must-have: Stylish, durable, and functional.

No.5 - Silicone Spatulas
Flexibility matters. Silicone spatulas are non-negotiable in 2025: perfect for mixing, folding, and cooking directly on non-stick pans. Heat-resistant, durable, and easy to clean, they’ll quickly become the tool you reach for most.
We recommend Le Creuset Silicone Spatulas, which pair functionality with iconic design.
Why it’s a must-have: Versatile, heat-resistant, and endlessly useful.

No.6 - Digital Kitchen Scale
Accuracy transforms cooking into precision. With recipes shifting between grams, pounds, and millilitres, a digital scale ensures every dish turns out as intended. Look for a sleek design with multiple units and an easy-to-clean surface.
We love the Smeg Platform Scale — vintage in style yet modern in tech and highly accurate.
Why it’s a must-have: Essential for accuracy in cooking and baking.
No.7 - Stainless Steel Pan
Few tools have stood the test of time like a stainless steel pan. Perfect for searing, frying, and sautéing, it’s versatile, durable, and built to last decades. Heat it properly, season with oil, and it becomes your natural non-stick ally.
Our pick: The Mauvial copper cookware set — reliable, heavy-duty weighted, and timeless.
Why it’s a must-have: Durable, versatile, timeless.

No.8 - Glass Storage Containers
Glass storage containers make all the difference. Look for microwave-safe and dishwasher-safe options for added convenience. In 2025, opt for sets with lids for easy storage and reheating.
Our favourite are IKEA's range of glass containers - both functional and compact.
Why it’s a must-have: Eco-friendly, durable, and versatile.

No. 9 - Electric Hand Mixer
For the baker, an electric hand mixer is a must. Lightweight yet powerful, it simplifies everything from whipping cream to blending cake batter. Opt for cordless models with multiple speed settings for ultimate ease.
