Stainless Equipment

My personal “essentials” lists evolve slowly over time, based not only on minor refinements in selection or new product availability but also on my own cooking style. It’s impossible for me to tell you that the pots and pans that I use the most will be the same as the pots and pans you’ll use the most. But I can tell you this: I cook a lot, I cook a wide variety of things, and with these pots and pans in my arsenal, I never find myself saying, “Man, I wish I just had [insert pan X here].” Nearly every recipe on this site can be cooked in a kitchen equipped with these bad boys, so if you or a loved one has been extra nice this year, listen up!
