The most important equipment when starting to prepare an Indonesian meal, are the solid wooden chopping block and a heavy cleaver, which will do al the work for you, from mincing the ingredients, to chopping chicken meat or vegetables. When you plan on cooking in an Indonesian manner, you will be in need of a lot of pots and serving spoons, spatulas, forks, turners, scrapers and tongs. Also, a saucer-shaped granite grinding stone, together with a granite pestle is used in preparing special condiments needed for the recipes. Borrowed from the Chinese culture, a woven bamboo steamer is always good to have in preparing many Indonesian dishes. When frying ingredients in deep oil, a Wok is very ideal for this preparation, since it requires less oil then a conventional deep fryer. A frying shovel or spatula is required when you use the wok for deep-frying, so make sure you have them available as well. Deep serving dishes are required for the traditional Indonesian soups. You need to consider cover lids and insulated food carriers to keep the temperature of the food constant, if you plan on serving the dishes at their optimized temperature
