We are thankful for tools and equipment
Pots, Pans & Cookware
Cover all your cooking needs with the versatility of All-Clad stainless steel
Only an XL stockpot can get you through an XL Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is THE casserole holiday, and Le Creuset is a fantastic option
I love using a Dutch oven for stews, braises or even baking bread
Cast Iron excels at high-heat searing, and will last a lifetime
Carbon steel is similar to cast iron, but it's lighter and more non-stick
Nothing beats the convenience of a non-stick fry pan
Sheet pans are an absolute necessity for both cooking and organizing prep
Knives & Utensils
Chef's knives are your kitchen workhorse - and this Wusthof Ikon is a great pick
The small size of pairing knives make them excel at detail and precision work - I like Wusthof Ikon
This hand-forged cleaver style knife is an awesome, fun alternative to a traditional chefs knife
The serrations of a bread knife make it perfect for anything with a resistant skin or crust
A good sauce whisk is essential in any kitchen - I prefer a wooden handle that won't get hot like steel
Microplane graters are awesome for zesting citrus, finely shredding cheeses or grating spices like nutmeg
French style tapered rolling pins are my favorite for rolling out pastry dough, like pie crust
Cover some baking basics with these tools that are equally useful for savory cooking
Other useful tools
A good pepper mill is critical for any kitchen, and Peugeot is top of the line
It's worth it to invest in your food mill - junky ones just don't work well
I have this Ninja Foodie blender in my kitchen and absolutely love it
You'll be happy you have this OXO fat separator when making Turkey Stock
If you're going to master elegant sauces, you'll need a good fine mesh strainer
For precise measurements, measuring cups just won't do the trick - use a scale
Take your food to the next level by freshly grinding your spices
Nothing complements Thanksgiving pies like homemade Ice Cream
