Based on which kitchen items you use daily we could all have our own unique 'essentials' list.
What do you use daily?
I would list:
Cutting Board, Knives, Food Processor, Very Large Stainless Steel bowl, Juicer, Large Pyrex Trays,
I'm sure I'm forgetting something but would love a peek into your kitchens.

Large skillet, pasta (stock) pot, colander, cutting boards (one for bread, one for meat, one for veggies), knives (set),coffee pot, oven glove and pads, baking sheet (mostly for roasting veggies or fish), spatula, wooden spoons, set of Pyrex mixing bowls.
Almost daily would be my rice cooker and set of casseroles.

As my dd and I heated up various leftovers for lunch yesterday she said "what would we do without the microwave?!" It actually made me feel guilty about how much we use it for defrosting or heating up things.
Other than that I use items that have already been mentioned:
Cast iron skillet (After I wash it I put it right back on the stove instead of putting it away.)
Knives and cutting board
Blender for morning smoothies
Soup or stock pot
Hot pads or oven mitts
LOTS of kitchen towels (My kids tend to grab a clean one every time they need a towel)
Coffee maker

Similar list to everyone else...
large, medium, and small cutting boards
Cutco chef's knife and paring knife
small skillet for eggs in the morning (stainless)
a hard to explain slant-sided stainless steel pot that seems to be the right size for everything And/or large stainless skillet
coffee maker
electric kettle
dishwasher/microwave (trying to minimize the microwave)
kitchen shears
short-handled wooden paddle
metal grater
water/ice dispenser on the fridge 
metal colander
measuring cups
often used: pyrex casseroles, stainless lasagna pan, set of red hard plastic mixing bowls, two burner grill/griddle pan
I'd use my vitamix daily, but I need to send it off to have the motor repaired.

I would use similar items
breadboard and cutting boards
Knifes
Coffee machine
Metal cooking spoon and spatula
Oven dishes
Kitchen scissors
Dishwasher / microwave / oven
pyrex dishes
kettle
corkmats for hot food
We don't have a toaster- we use the grill. We have had several toasters and for some reason they stop working,
I think thats about my list, but its not exhaustive
