I regretted not buying a rice cooker before I arrived, so I had to purchase one later and ask my friend to bring it when he came. I highly recommend getting one, as it really saves a lot of time and effort.

Sauce Pan
A high-quality saucepan is essential for preparing tea, coffee, and even dishes like Maggi. In Germany, people often use hot plates and induction cooktops instead of gas stoves. It’s advisable to choose a saucepan with a thick base that is also induction-compatible for better performance and durability.
Knife Set
Try to bring in a good quality Knife and do remember to keep it inside the Check-in bag
Chopping Board
Although it is not too expensive here in Germany try bringing one while you come and always try to bring a wooden one so that you don’t add microplastics in your food
Reusable Plastic bags
It could be useful for storing food, but only purchase it if you believe you’ll actually need it.
