I like a well equipped kitchen and that doesn't mean that you have to have everything available. If you enjoy cooking as I do, it isn't too good when you come up short of the right utensil or pot to cook something. So, I like Judy and others have basic pots and pans in the Montana. I would agree that you will need:
1 large skillet with lid
1 small skillet (non-stick)
2 pots with lids (1 med. and 1 sml)
2 mixing bowls (stainless steel) 1 med. and 1 sml.
1 cake pan (for biskits)
2 pyrex dishes for casseroles (1 large and a smaller one.)
several plastic containers to store food. some medium and some small.

The electric appliances are a personal choice . We don't have many of those.
A small Mr. Coffee
1 small hand held electric mixer
1 small toaster oven that also can be used to bake or warm

As far as utensils...the basics are
1 long fork
1 large knife
1 paring knife
large spoon
2 wooden spoons
1 egg turner
1 can opener
1 grater
That is about it for the utensils.
I reorganized my kitchen not long ago and found that I could do without a lot of stuff that I had been hauling around...so, now I have everything that I need right at my fingertips and it is well organized.
Hope that this gives you some ideas.
