Bundt Cast
I am moving, and in doing so need to construct a temporary kitchen at the new house, while maintaining one at the old house, so I started thinking - what does one really need for a functional kitchen?
One of the cooking tools I couldn't live without is my set of pans. OK - whats in a pan?? well, first of all the weight - you need a heavy gauge anything for it to be realistic. A really great pan is heavy, it has weight in your hand, that weight, or substance is usually stainless steel or cast iron. I hate nonstick pans, my feeling is if you cook properly and season a cast iron pan well you'll be fine without the nonstick surface. So, what does a basic kitchen need?? I love cast iron, well seasoned it is a wonderful heavy cooking surface for just about anything. I keep several skillets in my kitchen. I dedicate one to seafood, one to omlettes and one to regular dishes. I have small, medium and large cast iron pans. I have cast iron that was my great grandmothers, and so well seasoned you never need to oil it. I have brand new cast iron from some cook shop in berkeley ca that my husband carried for miles to get to the car, he complained, but it was worth it - heavy and wonderful in every size my cast iron skillets are the pans i reach for most!
Pots & pans
* 2 10 inch skillets (you'll use this pan most frequently so you should invest in two - a stainless steel skillet with sloping sides and a cast iron with steeper ones
* a 4 quart soup pot, including a lid. Make sure to get a heavy bottom (copper encased is great) to allow for high heat and prevent scorching
* 1 8 quart pot with a lid for boiling pasta, this is essential!! Pasta needs room to cook plus you can always use it as a stock pot
* two 2 1/2 quart pans for sauces, vegetables, mashed potatoes, rice etc
* 9x13 inch baking dish - for yorkshire pudding, lasagna, ziti etc (pyrex is best)
* 8x8 inch pyrex dish (for brownies, etc)
* 11x17 inch baking pan
* a pie plate
* a bundt pan ( for fancy deserts that can make you look like an incredible cook, with so little effort)
