These are all things I use in my Recipes.
Cookware Set:
This 8 Piece set from Goldilocks.
- Probably the most affordable option on the internet in terms of pan sets.
- Handles are great, they’re stainless steel, heat evenly, dishwasher safe, tri-ply, super affordable.
Knives:
I pretty much only new Victorinox.
- They’re affordable, Dishwasher safe, lifetime warranty, retain their edge, NSF certified, easily honed.
The knife set I listed will get you 90% of the way there.
The rest of the knives I use are based on my cooking and what I do in the Kitchen – but they’re all Victorinox brand.
Bakeware:
I almost exclusively use pans from USA Pan.
- They aren’t dishwasher safe but they clean super easily with warm water and some soap.
Other Misc Stuff:
- Ninja has stuck around for a while as a brand and this combo keeps less “stuff” on my counter.
- One of the only affordable options that lets you get real wood smoke on your food.
- I bought this one for the song it plays when the rice is cooked.
- Most of my utensils are hand-whittled, by me. But the linked ones are the other “stuff” you need.
