Here Are 9 Basic Cooking Utensils — Can You Name Them?

Can You Name These Basic Kitchen Utensils?

A long-handled tool that ends in a flat metal rectangle with slits in it

Brits may call it a fish slice, but they also call crepes pancakes, so take that with a grain of salt.

Spatula!

What is this?

A metal tool with wires coming out of the handle, crossing over each other, and looping back into the handle to make a sort of lightbulb shape

To be more specific, it's a balloon whisk, but being a show-off won't get you any more points.

Whisk!

A long-handled tool with a deep, half-sphere scoop on the end

Ladle!

A tool with a hinge on one side attaching the two handles and two flat, scalloped graspers on the other side

Good for sugar cubes, grilling, asparagus, blacksmithing, etc.

Tongs!

A tool with two plier-like handles attached to a flat piece of metal with a spinning handle on one side and two wheels — one razor-sharp and the other perforated — on the other

This one has a bottle opener on it, too, but that was a red herring.

Can opener!

A wooden cylinder with a handle protruding from each flat side

Not be confused with bowling pins, neither of which are really pins.

Rolling pin!

A tool with a handle attached to a curved, rectangular metal piece that has an oblong cutout with sharp edges

If you say it's a potato or vegetable peeler, you're normal. If you say carrot peeler, you're a horse girl.

Peeler!

A long-handled tool with a plastic, rubbery, and rectangular end that has one smoothed-down and curved corner

There are actually about a million accepted names for this tool, so that question was either very tricky or very easy depending on how you look at it.

Scraper or spatula!

A long-handled tool that ends in a large, circular, and shallow spoon with small, circular holes

It falls into the slotted spoon family (also an acceptable answer).

Skimmer!

What kind of spoon is this?

It's possible you've never entered a kitchen before.

Clueless About Utensils

You did pretty well, but honestly, not quite as well as I kind of expected. Maybe that was my fault.

You know what things are called. Thing expert, they call you.
