Lodge 10″ Carbon Steel Skillet
It’s indestructible like cast iron, but much more responsive to temperature changes, which I value for things like eggs. Now that I’ve used it a bit, scrambled eggs just leave a few bits behind, which I can practically rinse away. I like it, but had to get used to it since it responds so differently…

Carbon Steel Wok from Wok Shop
I’ve had this wok from Wok Shop for decades. Wok Shop also sells the accessories that you’ll want, like a wok shovel and spoon, ring, lid, steamer if you want it etc. It’s practically non-stick from the day you get it, seasons quickly and easily (I’ve never seasoned mine, it just becomes seasoned after cooking…

Lodge LC10SK 10 Inch Chef Collection Skillet
We use this more than our 12″ skillet. It’s lighter and holds enough food for two people very easily. We even roast chickens in it. This is our day in day out skillet, with all the virtues of Lodge’s regular cast iron skillets. Highly recommended, it’s cheap too!

Global G-5 Classic 7″ Vegetable Knife
Vicki gave it to me over 20 years ago and I’ve loved it ever since. It’s better than a chef’s knife for scooping up the veggies you’ve chopped. it fits my hand well and can easily be sharpened to a razor’s edge.

Global 8″ Chef’s Knife
Great knife. Light, well balanced, nimble, easy to sharpen, and really sharp from the factory. This knife fits my hand really well. I’ve been using it for over 20 years, and remain very happy. It’s available at Amazon, Williams-Sonoma, Sur la Table, and a gazillion places on line. It typically runs $100+, but it’s well…
