The Essential is one of our favorite pans. It’s essential for the kitchen. It’s great for all sorts of jobs. The high walls of this pan prevent grease from splashing onto your counter. It can also be used as a Dutch Oven or a wok with a flat bottom. It’s also dishwasher-safe.
If you tend to splash your sauteed vegetables out of the frying pan, a deeper saute pan is just what you need. This pan has a large cooking surface, but also tall walls that keep the ingredients in and away from your stove. Plus, the sides are flat, so you can use them for leverage if you’re flipping something with a spatula.
Everyone needs a good stainless steel frying pan. The 10.5-inch pan may not be huge, but is large enough to cook a grilled cheesy, chicken breast or eggs. Once you master cooking with stainless, you won’t want to go back to nonstick. Good quality stainless provides an even heat, with fewer hot spots, and makes cooking easier once you master it.

All-Clad’s melding of copper, aluminum, and 18/10 stick-resistant stainless makes for one of the best heat-conducting pans WIRED reviewer Scott Gilbertson has used (aside from cast iron). A smaller version is used for boiling potatoes, making bourbon bacon bark and many other things. The lid included reduces evaporation (if you wish). This basket is perfect for grilling asparagus or fruits. This basket is great for grilling asparagus or fruit. The bottom of the basket has perforations that allow the food to be flavored with smoky charcoal flavor without having to worry about it falling down the grate. I like to take mine car camping for exactly that purpose.

These little oval-shaped dishes are great for portioning out side dishes or individual servings, but if you’re like me and you don’t own a microwave, they’re also fantastic for heating up leftovers on the stove or in the oven.
Imagine a world in which you cook up your pasta and simply lift out the strainer instead of having to take the hot water over to the sink. This multipot comes with a strainer basket, perfect for making pasta or stock. Of course, the outer pot can be used without the strainer–perfect for when you’re making a big batch of soup this winter.

These measuring cups are super durable. They could be useful to your grandkids and their grandkids. They’re nice and deep. If I want to pour out a quarter cup of oil, I can do it without having to hold my hand as steady as when I use shallower and wider measuring cups. For the same price, you can get an odd-size pair. These forks will be perfect for roasting your turkey or any other large pieces of meat during the winter months. These forks will help you to get a better grip on your food and prevent you from dropping it accidentally after spending six hours cooking. Keep an eye on the shipping times, if you need this product by a specific date. This bakeware will allow you to make treats for your friends, neighbors and their friends. The set includes two cookie sheets, a cooling rack and two wire racks, so you can bake large batches of cookies, but let them cool before decorating. I can attest to the cookie sheets’ nonstick power, and that same coating makes them easier to clean.

This little grill pan is another handy winter staple. Some of you are not from Wisconsin and may not feel like grilling food in the freezing cold. This cast-iron pan comes with an Acacia trivet, so you can serve the food directly from the pan. The built-in pouring spouts are great for removing excess fat. This three-pack looks tempting. The bowls are available in 1.5-quarts, 3-quarts and 5-quarts. All have rolled rims to make pouring easier. The bowls stack to make storage easier. This pot is induction compatible and oven safe up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit. Since I don’t own a microwave, I have to wait for a double-boiler in order to melt butter. This pan is both versatile and huge, measuring almost 19 inches by 15 inch. This pan is oven and broiler safe up to 600 degrees Fahrenheit. It’s great for roasting turkeys and hams or large amounts of root vegetables.
