Wusthof knives

6 people recommended this item

Description

Everything in the kitchen is easier with good, sharp knives. I depend on three Wüsthof blades: a paring knife, a 10-inch Chef’s knife, and a serrated bread knife. The serrated knife is good for bread, tomatoes, and shaving big bricks of chocolate into meltable shards. The other two do everything else for me.

Williams Sonoma Essential Pasta Bowls

First to recommend

3 people recommended this item

Description

When we got married, my husband and I registered for fancy china and everyday china. The fancy stuff has come out once and we take such good care of our everyday stuff that we rarely use it. Instead, we have about six pasta bowls, those wide, shallow bowls, from Williams Sonoma. They are our go-to dining ware. We eat almost everything out of them, from salads to vegetables to lamb chops. I think it´s the fact that the shallow lip keeps your fod from spililng off the edge, which is important when your apartment is so small and your dining table is a coffee table in front of a futon.

Aprilco roasters

First to recommend

Description

have two of these -- an oval and a rectangle -- and I employ them daily in my kitchen. I can roast cauliflower, potatoes, or Brussels sprouts in them. They’re excellent for baking salmon en papaillote or broiling chicken breasts. I’ve even used them for small Thanksgiving turkeys or pork loins. Not only do they clean up well, but they look beautiful as serving pieces at the table.

Cheese wire and board

First to recommend

Description

Okay, this is a bit of a cheat, I don’t have one of these at home but they are so much fun to use at the cheese shop. They make cutting large pieces of cheese a dream and impress the heck out of customers when they see them in action.

Calphalon Skillets

2 people recommended this item

Description

I have three of these in varying sizes: 8 inch, 10 inch, and 12 inch as well as a 12-inch, high-sided sauteuse pan. They are easy to clean, versatile, hold their heat, and can take a beating without their surface flaking off or reacting to food. They’re workhorses.

Immersion blender

First to recommend

Description

Soups and sauces are now that much easier with this thing. I don’t have to bother with transferring hot soup into my blender or food processor in stages anymore. My stick blender means I can just immerse it in my soup, press a button, and purée to my heart’s content.

Microplane grater

5 people recommended this item

Description

Can someone tell us why this masterpiece wasn’t invented years ago? Microplane graters are perfectly designed for cutting precision and durability. Try it to create beautifully fine and delicate fruit zests. A must for the well-stocked kitchen.

Le Creuset 9 1/2 quart French Oven

First to recommend

7 people recommended this item

Description

A Classic. In today’s busy civilization a majority of cooking is about speed and convenience and it makes it difficult to justify the maintenance of Cast Iron products. Le Creuset is enameling their products and don’t need the same attention but with the same performance of material. Perfect for slow cooking and pretty enough to be served out off. One of few products that can go from cook to serve.
