copper gratin pan

First to recommend

Description

I'm a fan of copper, but it is difficult to care for, so I do not use them for basic cooking (where I use all-clad stainless instead). However, I have copper pieces that are great for special dishes. For its cooking property because it is the best heat conductor and also distributes heat evenly. Gratin is a dish I do use copper for. Makes everything nice and brown and crispy when I ant it to be. I also enjoy serving my dishes directly from the pan, because they are so beautiful.

First to recommend

Description

Love my Screwpull. Can't do with another anymore. It's sooo easy to use. I do have one complaint though... It's big, so a bit clumpsy to store easily.

stainless steel rolling pin

First to recommend

Description

I always say if a burglar enters the house, I'd skip the Wustolfs and go for this stainless steel rolling pin instead. Nice and heavyweight, it can be more weapon than cooking tool.

It's also simply beautiful. However, I do have a better reason for owning this. If you throw this in the fridge, the stainless actually cools, making rolling dough much easier to do. If you bake, maintaining dough temperature is a key trick to producing great pasta and also pie crusts.

restaurant dinnerware

First to recommend

Description

I'm not into fancy china. I'm very happy with my plain white restaurant dinnerware from Williams Sonoma. I bought three sets of these 30-piece set, enough to throw a large dinner party and still have matching pieces. The white shows off the food well, and allows other decorative elements to stand out (flowers, candles, etc.).

vietnamese coffee filter

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

It's actually a french drip press that was introduced to Vietnam by the French during the days of French colonization. It is still used by most Vietnamese today, in Vietnam and in the U.S. Maybe it's psychological, but one can't achieve that perfect caphe sua da (vietnamese iced coffee) without this handy little tool.

cuisinart 3-cup food processor

First to recommend

Description

I like the smaller food processor because it takes less counter space and is perfect for most of my chopping needs (herbs, onion, garlic, etc.) I have yet to need the extra large version.

Riedel Vinum Bordeaux - Set of 6 - A sampling of fine wine

3 people recommended this item

Description

Riedel wine glasses. In my dream I would have 100 of these to use for every occasion. It's designed specifically for wine enthusiasts, but you do not need to be one to appreciate good stemware. This shape works best as the basic glass for all red wines. Eventually, we'll move to specific stemware... For now, these will do. (via Kristine)

modern flatware

First to recommend

Description

I have a mix of modern flatware that match the Carl Mertens set. They work great for small and large gatherings. These flatware modernizes my table setting nicely. I prefer stainless steel because they're durable and dishwasher safe.
