If I had a dollar for everytime answered the "essential kitchen Items, question, I would have  have a lot more items by now. 
Stuck on a deserted island answer, a 10-inch all-clad stainless skillet and a 8-inch stainless chef's knife (no rust).
Weekend camping, same skillet, same knife a dutch oven , a Weber Smokey Joe compact grill, and some tongs.
For at home daily use -- pretty much what I have now.
