So it was free.<BR/><BR/>The measuring cups, Wustoff knife was about $80 (Williams Sonoma - I have since learned about restaurant supply stores)<BR/><BR/>Everything else is from ikea or kmart. Total of about $80.<BR/><BR/>SamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14245531.post-1155573426309004712006-08-14T12:37:00.000-04:002006-08-14T12:37:00.000-04:00I am still experimenting with what works for me, a...I am still experimenting with what works for me, and I think I am about half way there. I have a huge spice rack (actually an entire cupboard) because I really enjoy cooking.<BR/>But as far as utensils go this is what I use nearly everyday:<BR/>Cast Iron Pan<BR/>Spatula<BR/>Ladle<BR/>saucepan (medium size and small for reheating foods - no microwave)<BR/>knife (I have a wustof purchased by husband and a smaller knife that I like because its easier to deal with)<BR/>measuring cups<BR/>mixing bowls (stainless steel and plastic)<BR/>collander<BR/>cutting board (small and large)<BR/>aluminium foil (for use in the toaster oven)<BR/><BR/>I believe that's it. I use my hand alot when cooking, and I don't trust any fancy gadget like a kitchenaid. My favorite item is definetly the cast iron pan as I dislike dishes moving around when stirring. Plus it serves as a good weapon.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I am another long time reader and love your blog. :)<BR/><BR/>Sam<BR/>piconap.com/ssoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
