Cast Iron Oval French Oven
"A good, heavy duty Dutch oven is so versatile, it's hard to go wrong. With a high end brand like Le Creuset, you can pick a color and start a collection. I recommend the 5 quart as a starter, but you'll soon want one in every size!"

BoosBlock Commercial Maple Cutting Board
"Grab a heavyweight cutting board. Cheap boards exist, but you'll find them slipping when you least expect it."

Natural Commercial Nonstick 12 Cup Muffin Pan
"When you invest in a muffin pan, grab two of them. I promise you'll end up needing a second one (birthday parties and classroom treats come to mind), and there are few things more annoying than muffin pans that won't nest."
KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Qt. Stand Mixer with Pouring Shield
"If you don't already own one of these, I urge you to get one now. A true workhorse in any kitchen with lots of accessories, a good stand mixer like a power tool for cooking."
Enamel On Steel Stock Pot with Lid
"A big stockpot will serve you well. It might seem giant, but you'll be amazed at how often you use it."
Tip!
Invest a bit more in the pieces that you know you'll use everyday when making your favorite meals.
17" Non-stick Baking Sheet
"Inexpensive baking sheets have a place in cooking. But for true baking, you'll never regret investing in good quality baking sheets."

Classic 7" Hollow Edge Santoku Knife with Board
"An entire knife block set is great, but if you can't afford the whole set, splurge on one high quality all purpose knife. I love my Santoku knife and use it the most out of the entire block."
