The Cast Iron Pot
Casserole dish, Dutch oven, cocotte… Call it what you will, a cast-iron pot is a must-have for baking sourdough and cooking dishes that require heavy searing or gentle, even cooking from Hungarian goulash to coq au vin.
The Copper Set
Copper is super-responsive to the slightest change in heat, making for even distribution and – here’s the best part – uniform cooking. Translation: no more burn spots or scalding more perfectly executed sauces and sauté treats.
The Stainless-Steel Skillet
Every kitchen needs a tough-as-nails skillet – and this one, made with 316TI titanium-grade stainless steel, is virtually indestructible. It can go from stovetop to oven and you can use it to cook just about anything.
The unsung Kitchen Heroes
The Non-Stick Pan
For flipping pancakes and cooking eggs, you can’t beat this Danish-made frying pan. The non-stick lining uses non-toxic PFOAs, it’s super-easy to clean AND you can use metal utensils. Triple win.
The Chopping Board
Chop, chop! Set the stage for years of gourmet cooking with this large, handsome, solid-oak board. It’s durable yet easy on your knives; smooth but not slippery; and large enough to accommodate all of your food preparation.
The Food Thermometer
Whether you’re roasting, baking, deep-frying or barbecuing, an instant-read thermometer can make all the difference between a perfectly done dish and one that’s under – or overcooked. Eliminate the guesswork; invest in a food thermometer.
