 | Wüsthof Classic 8-Inch Cook's Knife
Buy new: $99.99 / Used from: $93.99 After a Wusthof knife skills class, I HAD to take one of these home with me! Great all-around knife if you hold it right.
|
 | Wusthof Classic 7-Inch Santoku Knife, Hollow Edge
Buy new: $99.95 Superb chopping knife, and cleaves a serrano or fresno pepper neatly in twain. Currently competing fiercely with the 8" chef's knife for my affections.
|
 | J.A. Henckels Twin Pro S 3-Inch High Carbon Stainless-Steel Paring Knife
Buy new: $39.99 Incredibly-sharp, ice-hardened blade... chosen after trying a dozen knives because it *fit* and balanced perfectly.
|
 | J.A. Henckels Twinsharp Knife Sharpener
Buy new: $24.99 / Used from: $18.99 You WILL want to touch up the edge on those nice knives every so often...

|
 | Oxo Good Grips Can Opener
Buy new: $12.99 / Used from: $9.99 It WORKS - end of story. The can opener so good I gave one to my mother.
|
 | Joyce Chen Pro Chef 14-Inch Unseasoned Carbon Steel Wok
I don't personally own THIS wok, but have a very similar carbon-steel wok with nylon handles I got at Target. Had a non-stick first, but it couldn't handle the heat. Carbon steel is the way to go.
|
 | Catskill Craftsmen Square Wood Chopping Block with Groove
Buy new: $14.99 Or similar - I've got a somewhat thicker chopping board with no grooves and rubber feet, but a wood cutting board is FAR more kinesthetically satisfying than plastic.
|
 | Farberware 12-by-18-Inch Poly Cutting Board with Microban
Because plastic is a whole lot more sanitary than wood when you're working with meat...
|
 | Lodge Logic 10-1/4-Inch Pre-Seasoned Skillet
Buy new: $15.29 / Used from: $12.99 Old-fashioned, and it WORKS. Great for searing steaks, burgers, cheese steak, sauteeing, and nearly everything else. Ordinary non-stick can't touch it. The pre-seasoning is an awesome idea.
|
 | Lodge Logic 5-Quart Pre-Seasoned Dutch Oven
Buy new: $37.96 / Used from: $30.99 Awesome for chili, and the lid fits the 10" skillet to keep your steaks juicy.
|
 | Lodge Pro-Logic Pre-Seasoned 12-Inch Skillet
Buy new: $27.99 / Used from: $24.99 Like the 10" but, well, BIGGER! Mine is the old style with the small handle; if this one matches the picture it should work just as well and be easier to hold.
|

Buy new: $18.97 Best burgers you'll ever make indoors... the next best thing to grilling outside.
|
 | Lodge Logic Square Griddle
Hashbrowns, anyone?

|
 | Le Creuset 1.5 Quart 9x9 Square Stoneware Blue PG105723-09
I love this for lasagna... browns perfectly, easy to clean, and just the right size if you aren't cooking for a family!
