I love using my kitchen tools and cookware to prepare meals. It makes life so much easier (at least in the kitchen).
These kitchen tools and cookware will put the "joy" in the joy of cooking!
Purchasing cookware should be a long term investment not something that is a hurried endeavor
or short-term. Buy your cookware for life or until it no longer performs for you.
This is my cookware and kitchen tool advice: buy the best you can afford: add on
as you go, piece by piece. If you follow this advice I bet you will have your cookware
& kitchen tools long enough to pass down to your children's children!!

COOKWARE
This is a 12 piece non stick collection of Analon cookware.
The set includes 2 qt, 3 qt, & 4 qt covered saucepans, 10 qt. covered stock pot, 8" and 10" open French
skillets and 5 qt. covered sauté pan.
It has Suregrip handles, a combination of durable stainless steel and silicone rubber that provides
a soft comfortable grip. Domed tempered glass lids let you monitor food without releasing heat or nutrients.
This professional cookware is for the everyday chef.
I love this set but only have a few pieces of it.
Another great cookware set is the 14- piece Calphalon Simply Nonstick cookware. set includes 8" and 10" omelet pans, 12" covered fry pan, 1-,2-. & 4 quart covered sauce pans,
3-qt. covered sauté pan and 6.5 quart covered stock pan. This set also has the tempered glass
dome. Oven safe up to 400°Fahrenheit & you must hand wash. Comes with a 10 year warranty and the $$
is lower than the Analon set.
I own a set of Calphalon (the original & it was a gift) and lets just say it could be passed on for all eternity!)
It really does last and always distributes the heat evenly for cooking.
These 2 sets of cookware are recommended because they're durable, heavy, solid and quick heating.
We all can use an extra pair of hands in the kitchen and that is what a food processor is.
You will spend less time hand chopping, blending and slicing when you have a food processor.
It will bring the JOY back to the "joy of cooking"!
