Just a few words about cast irons skillets. You need one. I consider it an essential piece of kitchen equipment, so much so, I have given away several of my seasoned skillets to friends and family who for some crazy reason did not have one. I like the Lodge brand. A good cast iron skillet will last several generations. I have skillets from my mother and my husband's grandmother. Seasoning your skillet is easy. Coat the skillet with cooking oil and bake at 350 degrees. Wipe out and it is ready for use. You may need to do this several times during the first year to create a nice non-stick surface. Wash skillet using hot water and sponge or stiff brush. Do not put in dishwasher!
Making creamy soups is so much easier with an emulsion blender. One pot and done! Also known as a stick blender or hand blender. Because it is compact and cleans easily it is perfect for small mixing projects like French toast custard or whipping cream. This particular model is inexpensive and comes with a couple of useful attachment. It costs about $60. Cuisinart Smart Stick CSB77
