In todays show I discuss a few of the essential pieces of cookware you will need in order to start cooking. You'll be surprised on the set of cookware to get you started. I also want to tell you about my guilty pleasure of the week and Mikey has been making some killer Ice cream.
Outside of having high-quality, sharp knives having some basic cookware will get you going in the right direction. Understand you do not have to spend thousands of dollars on cookware to have good results. A few years ago I was going to do a television appearance in Cincinnati and new I wanted some sparkling new cookware. I know you have watched the Food Network and seen chefs and restaurants on location where the cookware looked beat up and sad. I didn't want the audience to be distracted by stained pots and pans. So, I went out shopping. I didn't find what I was looking for when I went to the local restaurant supply house. I changed gears and realized I may just want to find something at a department store. The local Macy's were having a huge sale on their home goods and I spotted exactly what I needed.
What I was looking for was a small, complete set that would allow me to handle the day-to-day cooking I do. Here's the specifics I needed:
8" frying pan
10" frying pan
small sauce pan
large sauce pan
Tall stock pot to handle upto 2 gallons of stock
I highly recommend for the cook just starting out, or even the seasoned home cook, to check out Emeril's cookware.
