First Apartment Kitchen Kit: Six Things to Cook Almost Anything
Six pieces that cover most weeknight cooking before a full set of pans makes sense: one skillet that sears and bakes, one knife that does the work of a block, a pressure cooker for rice, beans and stews, and the tools around them.
Sears, bakes cornbread and goes from stove to oven; pre-seasoned, so it works on day one
The one knife a first kitchen needs: a grip that holds when wet, a blade easy to resharpen
Rice, dried beans and stews without watching the stove
Wood won't scratch a nonstick or enamel pan, and won't melt on a hot edge
End grain is kinder to that knife's edge than glass or plastic
Four big mugs: enough for the first people who come over
