There are numerous pots and pans on the
market. And if you watch a lot of cooking shows, it seems like you need an
entire department store’s worth of cookware to create a delicious meal.
Well, we don’t think you need tons of pots and
pans cluttering up your cabinets. With just these four kitchen staples, you can
make anything!
Stockpot
You’ll use this for steaming, simmering,
boiling and blanching a variety of pasta, vegetable and soup dishes. Look for a
hefty stockpot with a lid and two handles, and at least an 8-quart capacity.
Saucepan
The ultimate multitasker! You can use this for
cooking soup, rice, noodles and much more. A quality saucepan will have a
handle with a strong connection to the pan and a lid that fits snuggly. A
two-quart saucepan is your best bet to use for a variety of recipes.
Sauté
pan/skillet
A must-have for searing, frying and sautéing
things like meat, veggies, sauces and one-dish dinners. You’ll want a pan with
a thick construction to avoid hot spots. The most common size is a 10-inch pan,
and you could go with a non-stick finish. Also, the entire thing should be
oven-proof in case you need to broil a dish.
Rimmed
baking sheet
These aren’t just for baking cookies; a rimmed
baking sheet is also used to roast and cook vegetables, fries and
freezer-friendly meals. You’ll want a heavy baking sheet to get an even
distribution of heat.
Now that you have the basics, you’re ready to
be a kitchen master!
