What English phrases do you need for shopping abroad?

Great! For starters, I'd recommend a good skillet, a saucepan, and a stockpot. Those three will cover most everyday cooking. What's your experience level in the kitchen?

好的！入门的话，我建议一个好的煎锅、一个汤锅和一个炖锅。这三个能应付大多数日常烹饪。您的厨艺水平如何？

For beginners, non-stick is the easiest — food doesn't stick and cleanup is simple. Stainless steel is more durable and better for searing. Cast iron is amazing for heat retention but it's heavy and requires seasoning.

初学者的话，不粘锅最简单——食物不会粘锅，清洁容易。不锈钢更耐用，煎东西更好。铸铁锅保温性极好，但很重，需要养锅。

A 10 or 12-inch skillet is the most versatile. For a saucepan, a 2-quart size handles most tasks — making sauces, boiling eggs, heating soup. If you cook for more people, go with a 3-quart.

10或12英寸的煎锅最实用。汤锅2夸脱的大多数场景都够用——做酱汁、煮蛋、热汤。人多的话选3夸脱的。

Yes! Never use metal utensils on non-stick — they'll scratch the coating. Use silicone, wood, or nylon. This silicone spatula set is $15 and includes three sizes.

对！不粘锅千万不要用金属餐具——会划伤涂层。用硅胶、木头或尼龙的。这套硅胶锅铲15美元，包含三种大小。

You really only need three knives to start: a chef's knife for most chopping, a paring knife for small tasks, and a serrated bread knife. This starter set has all three for $49.

起步只需要三把刀：主厨刀负责大部分切割、削皮刀用于小活、面包刀切面包。这个入门套装三把刀49美元。

It depends on your cooking style. The three most useful small appliances in most kitchens are: an instant pot for fast cooking, a blender for smoothies and sauces, and a toaster oven for quick meals and reheating.

取决于您的烹饪方式。大多数厨房最实用的三个小家电是：电压力锅快速烹饪，搅拌机做思慕雪和酱汁，烤箱用于快速做饭和加热。

Air fryers are great for making crispy food with less oil — fries, chicken wings, vegetables. If you eat a lot of fried food but want a healthier option, then yes, absolutely worth it. This one is top-rated and on sale for $79.

空气炸锅用很少的油就能做出脆脆的食物——薯条、鸡翅、蔬菜。如果您爱吃油炸食品但想要更健康的选择，绝对值得。这款评分最高的在打折，79美元。

The premium set is fully clad stainless steel — meaning the heat-conducting core goes all the way up the sides, not just the bottom. It heats more evenly, is oven-safe to 600 degrees, and comes with a lifetime warranty. The $80 set has a thinner base and no warranty.

高端的是全包层不锈钢——意味着导热芯一直延伸到锅壁，不只是锅底。加热更均匀，可进烤箱到600度，而且终身保修。80美元那套底更薄，没有保修。

This set at $179 is an excellent mid-range option. It's impact-bonded stainless steel — the base is thick and conducts heat well. It's oven-safe to 500 degrees and comes with a 10-year warranty. Best value in the store, honestly.
