Progressive Avocado Tool
Progressive Avocado Tool by Progressive  
Except for color, identical to Progressive's all-black multi-masher (I called the company). GREAT for whisking/stirring anything in a nonstick pan--no fear of pan damage. Safe to 450 degrees. HANDY.

 

Calphalon Commercial Nonstick Collector's Edition 9-Inch Chef's Skillet with Lid
Calphalon Commercial Nonstick Collector's Edition 9-Inch Chef's Skillet with Lid by Calphalon  
Perfect mate to the multi-masher/avocado-tool above for scrambling WONDERFUL creamy eggs. But be cautious with hot liquids--can tip fairly easily. Nonstick coating requires care.

Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless 1-1/2-Quart Saucepan with Glass Lid
Calphalon Tri-Ply Stainless 1-1/2-Quart Saucepan with Glass Lid by Calphalon  
A little workhorse. Just the thing for cocoa, boiling a few eggs, etc. Pours neatly. Tolerates metal utensils. Fits good in dishwasher. Handle stays cool the way I use it. Also comes in 2.5-qt

 

Le Creuset 2-Quart Multi 2-in-1 Pan with 8-Inch Omelet Cover, Blue
Le Creuset 2-Quart Multi 2-in-1 Pan with 8-Inch Omelet Cover, Blue by Le Creuset  
BEST fried eggs, toasted cheese, oatmeal, rice. Ideal for braising. Use as casserole. Amazingly forgiving--no burning. Easy cleanup. (I like this size, but the 3-qt. has 9.5" omelet pan.)

 

Scanpan Classic 3 1/4-Quart Covered Stock Pot
Scanpan Classic 3 1/4-Quart Covered Stock Pot by SCANPAN USA Inc  
Can't say enough good things about this pot. Perfect for 3-4 servings pasta. In addition, the lid fits the LeCreuset 8" omelet pan above (the 4-qt Scanpan stockpot lid fits LeCreuset 9.5" omelet pan).

 

All-Clad Stainless Steamer Insert
All-Clad Stainless Steamer Insert by All-Clad  
Fits the Scanpan 3.25-qt pot above (the glass lid fits right on top). Just the right size for a single or small family. Works great.

OXO Good Grips 73191 Medium Spoon Spatula, Vanilla by OXO  
Wish the handle were a little shorter & slimmer, but otherwise a good performer.

 

Scanpan 11-Inch Stir Fry Pan
Scanpan 11-Inch Stir Fry Pan by SCANPAN USA Inc  
The BEST wok (unless you're a purist). EXTREMELY forgiving--very even heat. A nonstick pan that loves HIGH HEAT and METAL UTENSILS. Swishes clean under faucet while still hot. Amazing cookware!

 

Scanpan Classic 10 1/2-Inch x 10 1/2-Inch Square Grill Pan
Scanpan Classic 10 1/2-Inch x 10 1/2-Inch Square Grill Pan by SCANPAN USA Inc  
In my book, the ONLY grill pan to consider. As in all Scanpan, thick aluminum core means even heat, and durable integrated nonstick surface swishes clean while tolerating high heat and metal utensils.

 

All-Clad LTD 11-Inch Square Nonstick Griddle
All-Clad LTD 11-Inch Square Nonstick Griddle by All-Clad  
Or choose the large 2-burner model for making pancakes for a crowd. The nonstick surface, while a coating rather than an integrated surface, is nevertheless relatively durable.

Also great for cutting & serving brownies from a nonstick cakepan.

Le Creuset 8 by 11-3/4-Inch Rectangular Baker, Blue by Le Creuset  
Versatile. From baked pasta to roasted veggies to poached fish. Smooth even heat. Easy clean. Excellent oven to stovetop for gravy making.

 

Microplane Grater/Zester
Microplane Grater/Zester by Microplane  
Absolute snap to use. Once you try simply braised skinless chicken breasts in a little butter sauce with fresh lemon or lime zest & juice and some capers or dill, you won't know how you lived before.

 

OXO Good Grips 1045409 Mini Salad and Herb Spinner
OXO Good Grips 1045409 Mini Salad and Herb Spinner by OXO  
If you're a single or couple, this size is just right and takes much less room to store. I've had other salad spinners in years past--this one's by far the easiest and least messy to use and clean.

 

Le Creuset 7-1/4-Quart Round French Oven, Blue
Le Creuset 7-1/4-Quart Round French Oven, Blue by Le Creuset  
Oh, so much fabulous LeCreuset! There's nothing like a big cauldron of soup or stew... or corned beef & veggies... or greens.

Calphalon Commercial Nonstick 6-1/2-Quart Saucepot with Lid by Calphalon
