In order of importance/I can’t live withouts:
Shun Classic knives: serious damascus carbon steel knives made the old-fashioned japanese samurai swords way. serious. The new addition to the Shun family, the cute ultimate utility knive (only sold by Sur La Table) is awesome for cutting tomatoes, bread, etc.
Breville electric kettle - I can’t live without this. Not only does it have multi-temp settings for green tea to black tea but it’s a must for cooking. Zaps up hot water instantly for speed cooking pasta, soup, etc.
All-Clad LTD pans: beautiful stainless & aluminum pans with a sleek black anodized exterior, cooks perfectly every time)
Le Creuset cast iron french ovens, soup pots and skillet: you just feel so professional using these…makes bad-ass soups, stews, sautees, chili, you name it!
Breville citrus juicer press (really thought…”really? need a citrus juicer?” But YUP! It’s all that and more…)
Microplane zester: get tablespoons of gorgeous lemon/lime zest in seconds, also great for fine grating hard cheese that look like snow flakes~
Bonjour timer: many plastic-y made-in-china timers out there. This one has been most reliable, simple to use with BIG display and LOUD LOUD alarm which is great when you got 5 things going on at once. I’ll have to upgrade to their multi-timer one one of these days.
