Food Discussion : I refuse to cook without my _______!

[ashleysummer]

I refuse to cook without my copper cookware . It has the best heat conductivity coupled with a good heat capacity/volume unit. It also looks pretty nice. Getting some copper cookware is a bit like getting a microwave or a serious chef's knife - once you get it you can't go without.

This is a very quiet forum. I can dig it. It has become unfashionable to cook in the present society. I know there are some cooks out there, though.

What are some of the food items that are indispensible in your kitchen and why?

I must have garlic and onions. I cannot cook anything without garlic. This herb adds flavour to food that nothing else does. Must have flour and spice. I make my own bread so flour must be in the kitchen at all times.

Long as I have onions, bell peppers, celery (the trinity) I can cook most anything. And garlic. Have a chicken or shrimp, make gumbo.
