I don't know where you got utenlity from, Ju - it's utensils.

1. cooking utensils (how do you cook without food?)
2. furniture-mending tools
3. first-aid equipment
4. teaching materials
5. washing materials
6. playground equipment

They don't come close to being interchangeable.

Say stuff (uncountable), not stuffs.

Rover,

Thank you for your kind reply.

Regarding your reply on point 1:
cooking utensils (how do you cook without food?)

I thought utensils are the tools for cooking food where food items are excluded

Perhaps you mean that the term "utensils" does not include the food itself. This is correct. The food is called the ingredients.

On the topic of kitchens and cooking there are also appliances -- electrical devices like toasters, kettles, refrigerators, stoves, microwaves, etc.
