I know that everyone has different preferences as to what they use in the kitchen. Some people love to cook in cast iron pots, stainless steel pots, or non-stick pots. Then they are the knives. There are so many different types of knives out there. It can be kind of confusing, but I’m going to tell you that you don’t need to buy the highest priced items to be a good cook. Now there are a few things that I will spend a few extra dollars on, but those things will last a life time if I take care of them.
And that’s what this series of posts are all about. Just letting you know what I have in my kitchen, and maybe it’ll help you fill your own.
Without pots, what would a kitchen be? We all need some kind of pots to cook with. I don’t need a cabinet full of the most expensive pots to make a delicious and healthy meal. Alton Brown, of the Food Network, says it best when he tells us to buy items that can be used for multiple things. That’s just what I do. Buy generic pots that I can use to cook many different types of dishes in.
Here's a list of pots that I think every cook should have:
- medium and large sauce pans, preferably non-stick, it just makes clean up a little easier
- 12” heavy duty aluminum skillet,
- 5 quart heavy aluminum stockpot w/ steamer basket
- 4 quart non-stick stock pot. I use this one for making pasta.
- 8 “ cast iron skillet
- 12” cast iron skillet
- 4 quart cast iron dutch oven
That's pretty much every pot that I have in my kitchen. Yes, sometimes I have to wash a pot and re-use it while making a meal, but I have never had a problem with doing that.
What are some of your favorite pots and pans?
