List of Kitchen Tools & Cooking Utensils in French - Frenchanted
Knowing the names of cooking utensils, kitchen tools, and kitchen appliences in French can be
the difference between regularly hunting for French-language recipes on the Internet and never
ever doing that. But you probably should, because trying French recipes will have some very tangible
benefits for you: namely, you’ll be cooking delicious food and improving your French at the very same
time. That’s an incontestable win!

It’s admittedly a lot more fun, too, if you don’t have to wonder whether casserole means
“saucepan” or “pot” (the former), or whether torchon has anything to do with a torch (it doesn’t –
it’s French for tea towel) while reading the instructions.
As always, you shouldn’t bite off more than you can chew: as this is a pretty comprehensive list of
kitchen tools, you should first choose the words that seem the most useful to you. If you find all of
it useful – thanks! – you can proceed to learn the remaining vocab at a later time.
And if you’re looking for further food-related resources, take a look at our list of spices in French. I
wouldn’t miss out on our collection of cooking and baking verbs, either. Or check out our article about
the difference between gourmet and gourmand, so that you’ll never mix them up again. Ever.
