There are so many types of sztućce (cutlery) and narzędzia kuchenne (kitchen tools), that sometimes we do not even know how to name them. I will try to gather most of them and let you know how are they called in Polish.
While a cutlery set can refer to general tableware containing a variety of table items, it can also refer to a set of different types of knives and knives only. This is actually the original, literal meaning of the term cutlery, although the category has become a lot broader now. The different types of knives in these cutlery sets include steak knives, carving knives, chef’s knives, pairing knives, bread knives, and more. These are more specifically referred to as kitchen cutlery because they are used in the preparation of food rather than for dining.
Here are few different things you can find in the kitchen:
sztućce stołowe – tableware
łyżka – spoon
widelec – fork
nóż – knife
silikonowy pędzel kuchenny - Silicone kitchen brush
dziadek do orzechów – nut cracker
