Patty's Kitchen Kitchen Set Up To get the most (with the least harm) out of your home cooking you need to assemble a variety of utensils and supplies. For those who are beginning a macrobiotic practice it is sometimes difficult to know what these are and where they are available. First (equipment-wise) and most important is a gas stove (calmer, energy transfers to the food). If you are stuck with electricity (excitable energy) you can use a two burner camp stove. They are found at outdoor activity stores like Any Mountain, Oshman's, Marin Outdoors, Target/Price-Costco, etc. Stay away from the one burner butane models for lack of efficiency. A more expensive alternative is to change your stove top. A solar oven is another possibility. Second in importance, especially in this and colder climates, is the pressure cooker. Used mainly for cooking grains (our most important food), it provides the five elements of cooking; heat, water, salt, pressure and time, as well as containing all of the chi/life force present. Aeternum of Italy makes a durable, medium priced, stainless steel cooker (do not use any aluminum in cooking) in various sizes´. Third is a high quality vegetable knife. MAC is a decent brand. This is the main knife in macrobiotics. The rest of the necessities:
