Minki van der Westhuizen’s five kitchen must-haves for 2022

The model and television personality says these are the must-have items for her (and your) kitchen this year.


Whether you’re planning to cook up a storm or just stay above water with easy, pre-packaged meals, these items will help you keep your kitchen cosy, comfortable and clutter-free in 2022, says model, influencer, and television presenter Minki van der Westhuizen.

Victorinox knives

According to the television personality and model, a set of Victorinox knives are non-negotiable for 2022. “I cannot cook without it,” she says. “A sharp knife is absolutely vital for me.”

Kitchens can’t go without coffee

A coffee machine is another big must-have for Minki. “I have a SMEG bean to cup coffee machine which I am crazy about.” The supermodel, who is also a mom of three, says that she loves a cup of coffee in the morning, which is why a coffee machine in the kitchen will definitely always be on the list when it comes to her kitchen must-haves. SMEG’s bean to cup coffee machines come in various shapes and sizes, with prices ranging from around R14 999 and up.

Non-stick, no frustration

Minki says a non-stick pan is also something she loves having in the kitchen. She seems to be quite the SMEG fan, with her non-stick pan being from the brand’s latest range. She compares it to one’s skin, saying that “if you have a good basis to work with, it is impossible for your food to fail.”
