The batterie de cuisine (French; literally, kitchen artillery, i.e., kitchenware) is the range of tools and pans used in a kitchen. Although the term is French it is used in English to mean the same.[1] It includes the knives, frying pans, bakeware and kitchen utensils required for cooking and for making desserts, pastries and confectionery.[2] It does not include any of the fixed equipment such as cooking ranges, refrigeration equipment, etc.[3]
