Kitchen Tools
Dutch Oven
Get a big boy. Le Creuset 6.75 qt
Coravin
This is my FAVORITE device. This device allows you to pour wine without adding oxygen into the bottles, thus preserving the wine for a very long time. No more throwing away half empty bottles
Really Big Cutting Board
Give your self enough room to work. Don’t use a hard plastic or glass-like cutting board that will dull your knives. Boos blocks are king
Whet Stone
Sharpen your knives twice a year!
Wooden Spoons
Great for use in cast iron pans.
Cocktail Mixing Glass
Essential for stirred cocktails. Accompany with bar spoon, julep strainer, and a 2oz measuring cup
Huge Metal Spatula
Must have for grilling, griddles, and flexing on the boys
Cast Iron
Lodge is a fine brand, but Field and Co. is my favorite brand. Buy some grapeseed oil for seasoning. It’s fine to clean with a bit of soap and water, despite the traditional thinking.
Espresso Machine
This is an expensive luxury, but maybe the best “frivolous” buy we’ve ever made. It has changed our coffee game
Citrus Squeezer
Lemons and limes should be freshly squeezed for cocktails and sauces. A citrus squeezer doesn’t take up too much room but comes in handy!
Decanter
Use a decanter to get the most out of your red wine. Think about the surface area of the wine for speed of decanting and the easy of pouring
Rabbit Wine Opener
Super easy way to get that bottle open.
Cocktail Shaker
Gotta have it for shaken drinks. I recommend a metal-on-metal Boston shaker. Accompany with a Hawthorne strainer
Garlic Cellar
Henry Watson terracotta garlic keeper
Block Ice Mold
Not necessary, but definitely fun
Air Fryer
It’s basically a super fast convection oven. We use it all the time! Great for salmon, wings, fries, veggies, and reheating
