-- Please discuss your kitchen hardware/tools/cooking utensils etc...
Hi Guys.

So in this thread I'd be interested in the following:

- newer tools that you use that are not as common

- common utensils that you have in the kitchen that are staples for your cooking.

- Old family treasure passed down to you - such as a special knife or something useful like that.

- A few more items you may consider discussing - Cutting-boards, knives (again), presses, spatula's, maybe pancake turners/spatula's.

- I'm okay with even going as far as spices in your spice-rack.



Lately I don't have a bunch to brag about - I did recently drop about $350 at Burlington Coat Factory (of all places) on cookware (I had nothing decent since the divorce) - they had a lot of unique things, one of my sautee skillets is ceramics and has the best handle for flipping pasta's (or whatever) - another thing I had discovered there was a really nice bacon press. I will get the brand-name a little later on this weekend.

I will add photo's over the weekend, hopefully.


I wanted the thread to drop tonight though, so please share anything that's cool, special or especially 'useful' for your throwing down in the kitchen.


Thanks guys.

Look forward to hearing about and/or seeing your gear.

Second, size matters. You can't fill a pressure cooker all the way, you'll only be able to go about 2/3 full with anything. And there's no problem with only filling it a little. So make sure you don't get too small - I wouldn't consider anything smaller than 6 quarts.

Look for one with straight sides and a good, thick bottom. A lot of them have a kind of bell shape to them. Those are bad about scorching since heat can travel up around that bell shape. My Presto is like that, and while I use it occasionally, I pretty much only use it for soups or stews. And it does tend to scorch.

Thanks. I was thinking a 6 - 8 quart model, so added the 8 quart F.agor Duo to my wishlist. Now I just have to convince the wife that spending $100 for another pan would be a good idea.

I think that 8-quart bundle of sticksor Duo is Test Kitchen's best buy.

Don't have time to look thru this entire thread.

Can somebody point me to the portion of the thread that discusses the best utensils to perform The Aunt Jamiama treatment?

TIA

I got some ceramic knives for father's day. They're awesome and don't require nearly as much maintenance as my expensive traditional blades.

I just started attempting to make a good cheesecake. Any recommendations for a spring form pan? I like to use a water bath, so leak-proof would be nice, but not absolutely necessary.

TIA
