What are the CONDIMENTS can’t live without when COOKING?

Salt for sure! :)

Salt is a big one in my house too. We can't live without salt! We use olive oil quite a bit. Aside from those two things; I also use toasted almonds and crushed red pepper a lot. My husband went through a lemon pepper phase for awhile. He wanted lemon pepper on just about everything. That started to drive me crazy! I can only eat so much lemon pepper!

I could never do without salt and pepper. I hardly ever use any other spices but I always use those two when I cook. I have to have them to spice up my food or I won't eat it because it does not taste very good without it.

Besides salt, sometimes we will use sugar. We will add a little into the food when I cook it. It will be much more delicious. And my friend told me if you add a little bit sugar when you fried the vegetable, it will remain green and has a nice look. I love China

Awwww no your not MUSHY at all. I am starting to love my MYLOT enviroment too. It grows on you i must say. But the Condiments that i cant live without. Salt Lawry's Seasoning Salt Black Pepper Flour Lemon Pepper Onion Powder Garlic Salt Hot Sauce Mayo Corn Meal Bread Crumbs Accent And some others that i am just mind blocked about naming. But i have to have these items in my kitchen when i plan on cooking.

soy sauce for my asian/curry dishes I make all the time and it is a must for my turkey burgers. I also have to have sesame oil too. I must have parmesan cheese if I make anything italian and I have to have it on my veggie soup too. For mexican it would have to be green tabasco. I love that stuff!

I dont cook with salt...I never have actually but now I really really avoid it because my husband has to watch his salt intake.. I am forever cooking with powder onion and garlic...

i use salt(in very small amounts),garlic,onion and pepper basil in a lot of my foods.the garlic in particular is good for you. dill is another i tend to use quite a bit. although i have one family member who ketchups EVERYTHING,and makes me wonder why i bother LOL

You are very sweet!! I guess salt is a big part of life and when it comes to cooking, no matter how much we are told that salt is bad for us, food just does not taste the same without it. I use a lot of condiments if I am cooking, I use a lot of different herbs in things as they give a lovely taste if you get the right ones.

Thank you! I love you too! And, I can't live without salt, olive oil, minced garlic and, often Basil. Although, I could probably go a few meals without all 3. I didn't use any of the 3 yesterday in the meal I made. So, I guess there is not one specific condiment that I couldn't live without. I cook Monday through Friday and veg out on the weekends to just build some steam back up to do it all again the next Monday through Friday. So, I am always making something different from the day before so, I pretty much use everything throughout the week. Tough question! Sorry I couldn't be more specific. I guess I might have to say salt.

I love mckormics all-purpose seasoning , it is salt free but when you use salt with it I noticed a little dab will do you. I of course I use salt and pepper and love to use garlic. My new thing is to use Turmeric. A little goes a long way with that stuff. The reason I have been trying to use it is because I read that it helps relieve inflamation. For oil I use EVOO as much as I can.

Salt gotta have salt it wont taste right without salt.

I have to say Salt you just gottan have salt. I guess if thats all I had I would be fine.

I am new to this web site but already I feel at home. Kosher salt is my fav. I use it in just about everything. Garlic powder is my second fav.

I always use seasoned salt in everything I cook. It just has a good mix of spices and adds a good flavor I love it.

i guess the combination of popular spices such as onions,garlic and tomatoes plus the most important thing that we should have in the kitchen is salt..

Beside my stove, there must be salt, soy sauce and sugar. When come to cooking egg I prefer to use soy sauce as I could get the better taste of egg, especially doing with fried eggs or half boiled eggs. When cooking a bit of salt must be added to make the cooking more palatable. We chinese people in my place tend to favor of adding a little bit of sugar to the cooking to make it taste more delicious.

ok, here are my pet condiments in order of their importance. According to me, a kitchen must comprise them: 1. Salt, as you said. I can't imagine life without salt, but too much of it is believed to cause hypertension, so I use it only for taste. :) 2. Coriander and mint. What is life without these two? 3. Pepper and chillis. Now, I don't like my dishes that hot. But I love that light flavor of pepper and chillis, and by the way, I grow my own chillis and planning to grow pepper too. 4. Ginger and garlic--the kings of the kitchen. Cheers and thanks for this discussion.

Mine would be garlic, garlic and more garlic! Haha! I put into everything I can. I love the smell of it when it is cookng in a pan. Most of my recipes incorporate garlic, I just love it!

yes salt is very important, without it you can't imagine what the taste of you meal. unfortunately my mom is allowed to used salt because of her sickness. sometimes when i saw my mo eating i am very touched what happen to her and she have self pity on it.
