Cooking meals is something most people do as part of their everyday routine. However, as the world of culinary works is full of weird and wonderful implements, it is almost impossible to know what every kitchen item is used for.
That being said, some things are simply staples that could be found in the drawer of almost every home, except for maybe the new King of England's.
Author Tom Bower wrote a book about Prince Philip titled Rebel Prince, in which he shared an anecdote about the late royal's son.
The tale goes that King Charles "shrieked" and "trembled" the first time he ever saw cling film.
According to Bower, one of Prince Philip's gripes about Charles was his disconnect from the ordinary world, which was made all the more noticeable when he struggled with the cling film.
Thankfully, his wife Camilla was on hand to step in and settle the new Kings nerves.
The book reads: "He walked into the dining room and shrieked. Fearing the worst, Camilla dashed in after him. 'What's this?' asked her husband, pointing at the food.
"'It's cling film, darling,' she replied."
The segment was first published in the Guardian , but Clarence House declined to comment on the book's release.
Without official comment, we don't know whether Charles really did squeal at discovering cling film – or, indeed, other stories from Rebel Prince are fact or fiction. Either way, it's a compelling read.
Other highlights from Bower include Charles' penchant for changing clothes – allegedly up to four times a day – and his 120-strong staff.
The former Prince of Wales also has a strict ritual of how he likes to spend his day - with his former press secretary revealing all about how he skips lunch but pauses at 5pm for sandwiches before working up until midnight.
While the new King clearly enjoys the finer things in life, he is reportedly fussy about the manner of things.
These range from having his shoelaces ironed to requests on how he likes his bath water.
A clip shared on Saturday of His Majesty at St James's Palace during the Accession Council before his first Changing of the Guard also gave a glimpse into how particular he can be - where he became visibly frustrated at a tray pen getting in the way of him signing papers at a desk.
