Your favorite piece of cooking equipment?
« on: January 14, 2014, 06:16:22 PM »
I'm always looking for that one thing I don't have.  What is your favorite even if you only use it once a year?


And go.....

2 12in cast iron frying pans, one has raised ridges and both go from stove top to broiler depending what I am cooking. I don't grill in the winter since I hate the cold so if I have a hankering for something that use to walk upright on hooves, I toss the ridged one in the broiler  and get that sucker hot, then drop the meat on it. The other pan I use mostly for bacon and eggs, something about the taste cooking in cast iron starts my day off right.

I bake more so things like a bread machine and the every faithful pizza pans and screen.

A good weight scale for sure.

I have 3 well seasoned cast iron pans (12,10,8) that I use weekly, plus a dutch oven I am currently working on after over-heating it in a camp fire.  Just picked up 3 6" oval boats to go with the fajita pan.

The bread machine is my wife's baby, I don't touch it but she makes bread at least once a week. Pizza pans or stones?  I've got 2 rounds and 2 rectangular stoneware trays from Pampered Chef that work great for biscuits, cookies, etc.

In the past I've lived for great lengths of time with nothing but a deep frying pan/skillet with lid.  14" diameter by 2 or 3" deep is enough to make all sorts of good stuff.  I've never been a fan of cast iron so I use heavy duty Teflon coated pans and replace them as soon as they show signs of starting to flake or scratch, and I'm careful to not overheat them.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.
