 | Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Stainless-Steel 12-Piece Cookware Set
Buy new: $299.99 No more "nonstick" cookware for me. Clean a stainless pan quickly and it's just as easy. Plus you get a much better fond from a stainless pan. I like Cuisinart but any heavy stainless is worth it.
|
 | KitchenAid KP26M1XNP Professional 600 Series 6-Quart Stand Mixer, Nickel Pearl
Buy new: $323.99 / Used from: $299.00 The biggest, most bad-ass mixer I can find. You can never have too much power. The metal one goes with the stainless pots & pans.
|
 | KitchenAid KHM9PWH 9-Speed Professional Hand Mixer, White
Buy new: $54.99 More power for the little jobs. KitchenAid is always a good brand and the reviews on this are all positive. I just wish it had a retractable cord.
|
 | SoftWorks 5-piece Stainless Steel Utensil Set
Buy new: $32.99 OXO good grips always rate high. These should last forever.
|
 | Steeltek Stainless Steel Utensil Holder
Buy new: $10.30 / Used from: $8.99 ... and a holder for them.
|
 | Pfaltzgraff Ocean Breeze 20-Piece Stoneware Dinnerware Set, Service for 4
I love Pfaltzgraff; I've had a white stoneware set for 20 years with only one chip. I prefer white (to show off the food) but their Cappucino range has ugly cups.
|
 | Pfaltzgraff Ocean Breeze Stoneware Vegetable Bowl
Buy new: $16.99 The matching stoneware serving bowls. Get 2 or 3. A person can eat from them, too, when in the mood.
|
 | Ovations by Oneida Islet 53-Piece Stainless Steel Flatware Set, Service for 8
These are simple, and big enough to fit in my huge paws. No baroque design to catch food and grease.
|
 | Libbey 16-Piece Gibraltar Glassware Set
Libbey glassware. Timeless (buy extras at the thrift shops) and nearly indestructible.
|
 | Wüsthof Classic Super Starter 6-Piece Knife Block Set
I love the riveted handles. A really nice basic set with no "fancy bits." Use the steel before every use; don't wait for them to dull.
|
 | Amco Swing-A-Way 709BK Comfort Grip Can Opener, Black
Buy new: $7.25 Lost my can opener when I moved and did I ever miss it. This may not be a Rolls Royce but mine has lasted forever. Use an old toothbrush and hot suds to remove gundge.
|
 | Architec The Gripper 2-Piece Cutting Board Set, Orange
Get 3 sets: one red for meat, one blue for fish, one green for veg. The orange for cheese, I guess. It was the only one with a picture.
|
 | Bodum Columbia 8-Cup Stainless-Steel Thermal Press Pot
Buy new: $79.59 / Used from: $62.00 Stainless, and insulated. There is one size up and one down but this was a good middle ground (ha). Use it for tea, too, and use baking soda to remove odors.
|
 | Now Designs Set of 3 Floursack Towels, White
White and 100% cotton. Use for everything. Bleach when needed.
|
 | MIU Stainless-Steel 7-Piece Measuring Cup Set
Buy new: $29.19 Stainless, long handles... if only they were oval to fit inside jars. I'd rather have the weird sizes included here: 2/3 and 3/4 cups.
|
 | RSVP Spice Measuring Spoon, Set of 6
Buy new: $14.89 Stainless, long handles, and a 3/4 tsp size.
|
 | Cuisinart Chef's Classic Nonstick Bakeware 12-Cup Muffin Pan
Buy new: $18.95 This will do until I can get some TEXAS muffin tins!
|
 | Nordic Ware Scottish Scone & Cornbread Pan
Buy new: $29.96 Works great when the dough is really packed down.
|
 | Gourmet Standard 16.75 Inch x 11 Inch Stainless Steel Cookie Sheet - BW40106
Cookie sheet, jelly-roll pan, or under a pie or casserole.
|
 | Fiesta Cobalt 17 Solid Pot Mitts, Set of 2
I HATE silicone potholders. These will match the Pfalzgraff, and will nicely set off the next item:
|
Listmania!
