So depending on where you're cooking the equipment could have some variance. Already alluded to good oven vs one that heats unevenly, but maybe you don't even see Aunt Linda's actual kitchen, all the taste pairings are done in her dining room with charcuterie boards, campfire and grill levels?

At any rate:

oven: needs preheating; set temperature; timer, maybe even built in cook time vs timer with risk it will burn if left in oven with heat off if the door isn't opened;

Range: flame, electric, or glass tops, with a "don't blow up the house using gas" psa

Microwave

Air fryer?

Blender/food processor

Knives & cutting boards

Pots & pans; can fudge a lot with cabinets of holding

Sink: cleaning, source of water, straining

Measuring cups, have a rinse between use bit

Various other cooking implements, fudge with drawer of doom (of course we have a potato masher, it's in the drawer next to the arc of the lost covenant)
