I hope you find these helpful.
12" Cast Iron Skillet
Lodge Skillet
I love this skillet, I use it for mostly everything, it lives permanently on my cook top I use it so much. Run to the store or to Amazon and get yourself one. You will thank me later.
Knives
Cutlery is very important and very personal. Make sure you go to a store and try a variety of knives. I a glad I did. I would have bought knives too big or too heavy. See my favorites below:
Classic-5" Santoku Knife
Mixing Bowls
I used these every time I marinate meat, or need to mix ingredients. Great for tossing salads too. I do not know how I managed before I had these.
Canning Jars
how many times have you thrown away good oil because you have no place to keep it? Or wan to wash the pan but want to keep bacon or chicken fat for later? well, no more. By poor chance I figured that these canning jars are great for saving pan drippings in a sanitary and clean way.
Glass Canning Jars
I also use these for spices storage, they are stackable and keep the spices fresh and easy to identify.
Storage Bags
I buy my grocery store brand because they work just as well as the brand name ones and are cheaper. I use them for small left over spices, vegetables, to marinate small pieces of meat; you name it. I use these bags all the time. Life is easier with them in my life.
Food Processor
I use this mini food processor all the time, whenever I make beans (recipe to follow) or have to blend small amounts of vegetables I reach for this processor. I like how small it is because it does not take much space and it is easy to clean.
Hand Blender
I have always been biased toward traditional food blenders; they are big, hard to clean and take too much space, which is why I was so happy to find this hand blender when I was on the market for a new blender a few years ago.
I will keep adding more tools to this list as I think of things that have made my cooking easier. Feel free to add items that have made your dishes tastier or easier to make.
