Essential Equipment
There are a few pieces of equipment every kitchen should have. One is a great set of pots. I am not talking about fancy pots endorsed by some famous chef. I am talking tried and true cast iron. These pots can take a beating better than any new fancy blue diamond or copper nonsense pan. …
