Breakfast is the most important meal of the day; it gives your body much needed nutrients to start the day off after a night of regeneration. Eating a healthy breakfast also helps set the tone and mood for the day. How often have you skipped breakfast only to feel a little down in the dumps (not to mention hungry) or irritable midway through the morning? Because breakfast is such an important meal, there is no reason it should be a hassle to make.

Every kitchen should be stocked with basic pantry staples such as bread, sugar, flour, butter, and eggs, but did you know that there are certain cooking accessories thought to be staples as well? There certainly are! There is a whole slew of cooking accessories that will help you make picture perfect breakfasts (and quite delicious) each and every time! While some of these make preparing breakfast a little easier, some also make it a little more enjoyable for the cook and guests!

The Breakfast Basics

Most breakfast recipes call for mixing up a batter of some sort, so one of the most basic kitchen accessories you will need is a set of mixing bowls. However, mixing bowls with a spout are ideal for breakfast recipes as it makes it simple to pour any mixture into a mold, skillet, or griddle! You will also want to invest in a good silicone balloon whisk to ensure that all your batters are mixed to the hilt. Also, don't forget the silicone spatulas to wipe the bowls clean! A set of mixing bowls, whisk and a good spatula can be a big help in the morning.

Stove Top Griddle

A stove top griddle is a must have for any breakfast enthusiast. Most stove top griddles come long enough to fit comfortably over two burners and are perfect for cooking French toast, pancakes, or even bacon. Many griddles come with one flat side and a grill side, which makes it dually useful for both breakfast and dinner. A good double stove top griddle can last you a long time.
