I love the fact that a French automaker also makes an invaluable kitchen utensil. I look forward to passing this one on to my grandchildren.

Candy Saigon wrote an ingenious essay about this pan in the Washington Post and won a James Beard award for it, deservedly so. I refer to her.

Sabatier Carbon-Steel Kitchen Knives

Description

It used to belong to my great-aunt, and had fallen out of use because of a chink in the blade. I sharpened it and it’s as good as new, but has the romantic feel of an old tool.

Everyone loves this one--fine fresh citrus zest in seconds, not to mention freshly shaved nutmeg and cinnamon. A miracle invention.

Messermeister 10" Chef´s Knife

First to recommend

Description

Unlike other German chef´s knives, this one does not have a bolster to interfere with sharpening, and it holds a nice edge. It´s also a beast of a tool and fun to wield.

Mine is c. 1945. It retains heat longer, its burners are stronger, it has a griddle for pancakes built in; I get inspired to cook just looking at it.
