Lessons about cookware

There is only one knife you need - A large chef's knife that fits your hand. it will cut everything and there is little need for much else.

Brands for knives? Germans are out, Japanese are in. Anthony suggests Global brand.

Pans - Look out for restaurant auctions for good deals. You don't need new pans, just ones that have thick, heavy bottoms. A thin bottomed pan, or woman, is useless.

A non-stick saute pan is essential as well. Don't scratch it with metal tools.

Use wooden spatulas and spoons, they have more soul.

I like the Globals too... but there's something about the feel of a wooden handle that gets me every time. the Global knives are super sweet, don't get me wrong, but the balance is a bit off in my hand, and they're really light weight. i like a good heavy blade.
