Essential Pots and Pans

I love them all, but they can’t all come.

In today’s video release, I am taking you through the pieces of kitchen equipment that I think every

1
cook should have, including some things you’ll want to toss in the covered wagon when we all have to high-tail it right on out of here
2
.

Everything on my list can/should be purchased once and used for life if you know what quality markers to look for … and you don’t let your child make extra-thick hot chocolate over high heat in them whilst unsupervised

3
. I believe that crappy equipment makes perfectly good cooks think they suck at cooking, and we can’t have that. This is why I want you to buy fewer things and spend your money on brands that are tested and vetted.

Once you’ve watched the video, you’ll know exactly which pans I want you to hang on your pegboard. If you’re excited about the equipment you already own or the things you just ordered because I said so, here are some recipes you ought to make!

Cast Iron Skillet

  • Fried Mushrooms with Zesty Chile Salt

  • Cold Sliced Steak with Arugula and Parm

Carbon Steel Skillet

  • Seared Sweet Potatoes with Kale and Lime Pickle

  • Carole’s Fried Bread (as seen in)

Stainless Steel 8-Quart Pot

  • Greens, Beans, and Sausage Soup

  • Pantry Pasta

Stainless Steel Skillet

  • Pork Burgers and Cabbage Slaw

  • Sauteed Brussels with Sesame

Enameled Dutch Oven

  • Brothy Basil Beans

  • Spaghetti with Melted Cauliflower Sauce

  • One-Pot Chicken and Rice with Blender Green Sauce

Nonstick Pan

Although I believe every other material above can be nonstick if used right, there are some things that are just easier in nonstick.

  • Chickpea Pancakes with Shaved Vegetables

  • Dozen-Egg Frittata

Thanks for reading!

Every Western cook, that is. Notable exclusions from my rundown that would be absolutely basic on other lists: carbon steel wok, pressure cooker, donabe, comal, etc.

I am talking about the obviously imminent UFO invasion, which part of me is looking forward to.

Sorry, Cosmo.
