But since she loves cast iron (enameled or not) I'll accept her.

P.S. I only rock with three pans to cook with:

1. that huge 12 inch cast iron skillet you see me baking in. I'll flip it over and get it up to 500* to use it as a pizza stone.

2. the enameled Cuisinart dutch oven you see i'm making the gumbo in. Le Creuset supposedly is the best but I'm not spending $300 on a pot when a $40 version will do the same thing.

3. a copper Mauviel lil saute pan. thats my workhorse. i need a matching saucepan but I havent found one under $150 yet.


oh and i want a new chef's knife.
i've been hearing those Victronix are very good knives and are only like $40 on amazon
