Pots and pans: the kitchen quest

Pots and pans are great. But only if you get the right ones. Something from the discount shop might please your accountant but if you want something that lasts the distance, you need the quality pots and pans.

You know you've got good pots and pans by the heft and the finish of them. They're the kind of gear that's made to last, and if there's a non stick surface, it's one that's also made top last.

You'll spend a lot of your cooktime with your pots, they almost become like old friends - all those ragu sauces you'll simmer there, all that vegetable stock reducing, egg frying, oh yes, the life of a pot is a happy one.

The marriage of great cookware and great ingredients is central to the philosophy of this brand I've been thinking about, Anolon, making it a great choice for the home chef. Just remember that when you've got your high quality pots and pans, you will also need to buy good ingrediants too.
