Instant Read Thermometer The Super-Fast Thermapen has been a favorite among restaurant chains for years. This new generation Thermapen introduces a robust, splash-proof design with molded-in seals to protect the thermometer from wet hands and kitchen splashes. Just open the probe and the Thermapen comes on, close it and it shuts off. |

Whether someone is just learning how to cook or is an experienced old pro, believe me, it's always nice to get a new piece of cookware. The technology changes so quickly and it seems every year there is some new material or design worth owning.

Le Creuset Cast Iron French Oven I have this exact Le Creuset Cast Iron French Oven and I love it. I have made a lot of great stews, pot roasts & braises in it. Because it is made of cast iron, similar to a Dutch oven, it heats quickly, retains the heat and is perfect for cooking anything slowly with low heat. Use it on your stove top, in the oven, gas, electric and it is even dishwasher safe. |

Viking Starter Set The photo above is of a Viking starter set but there are lots of great companies making pots & pans. I recommend you looking at Viking, Calphalon & All-Clad for starting out. They are all top quality and you won't go wrong with any of them. |
