    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars to help you properly equip your kitchen without breaking the bank.

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars

    We all know a plant-based diet makes for a healthier lifestyle. But, equipping your kitchen properly is important in helping you achieve and sustain that lifestyle. Cooking with crappy utensils or not having the right tools can be frustrating and discouraging.

    I’m going to help ease your frustration and fears of equipping your kitchen. I’ve put together a list of what I consider to be essential kitchen “must-haves.” And, the good news? They’re all relatively cheap! All of these items are under 25 dollars.

    Ready? Let’s SHOP!

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars

    1. Mixing Bowls

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars


    A good set of mixing bowls is not only handy, but necessary. You’ll find yourself in need of a small or large mixing bowl more often than not – and this set covers both. I prefer plastic, especially if you have kids:) Check them out HERE!

    2. Wooden Spoons

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars


    Wooden spoons are great because they are sturdy, durable and great and won’t damage your pans. It’s great to have an assortment of these. CHECK THEM OUT HERE!

    3. Silicone Spatulas

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars

    These are great many levels. They’re great for cooking, baking and mixing. They’re also non-stick, heat resistant and won’t damage your nice non-stick cookware. Check them out HERE!

    4. Wooden Cutting Board

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars


    A must-have for cutting fruits and veggies. And, it saves your counter tops. GET IT HERE!

    5. Turner Spatula

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars

    I know it should go without saying, but you need one of these. And, I don’t recommend steel because it can damage your pans. Buy HERE!

    6. Baking Pans

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars


    Good baking pans are essential for healthy, plant-based cooking. You’re going to be roasting and baking a lot. And, you want a pan that will hold up and get the job done. These are my personal favorites. PURCHASE HERE!

    7. Silicone Baking Mats

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars

    I LOVE THESE silicone baking mats! They eliminate the need for oils, grease, sprays, aluminum foil, butter, and parchment paper. Game changer! Check them out!

    8. 8-inch Square Cake Pans

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars

    9. Muffin Tin

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars

    OK, this one is actually a little over $25 by .95 cents. I apologize. But, in good conscience I can only recommend what I believe to be the best and this one is my favorite. Everyone needs a good non-stick muffin tin. Because you JUST DO! Check it out!

    10. Oven Mitts

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars

    14. Whisk

    25 Kitchen Essentials Under 25 Dollars
