Optional Add On: Le Creuset 4.5 quart soup pot: $290

The perfect pot! We love these sexy pots with curved sides that help encourage movement as you stir. Enamel-covered cast iron prevents sticking & is heavy for even heat distribution and more control in cooking. This beauty can be used on the stove-top, in the oven, and even go straight to the table to serve from (since it’s so darned cute!)

Optional Add On: Silicone Steamer: $17

We love this steamer because it molds to the shape of many different size pots. The handles never get hot, & the silicone is non-stick. Perfect for fish, veggies, rice & pot stickers.

Optional Add-On: Saute Pan: $69

Every cook’s kitchen needs one of these. This pan (made in USA) is weighty enough to be sturdy and conduct heat beautifully! The stainless steel is non-stick and will last you many, many great meals.

Optional Add On: Mircoplane Zester $15

The “gratest” tool in the kitchen! Parmesan cheese falls like snow, with so much surface area that “less is more”. But don’t stop there! Also use to zest citrus, grate ginger, shave chocolate, sprinkle nutmeg, etc., etc.

Optional Add On: Exoglass Spoon: $12

All cooking spoons are not created equal! Why we chose this spoon: Made from composite material, in France. A durable item built to last. Super-resistant to heat (use in jam-making!), non -porous & can be sterilized. Will not deteriorate or lose its shape. Will not scratch your pans – use with non-stick! It is only $12, what are you waiting for?
