Bacherlors' survival, revisited.

Saute pan, dutch oven, metal tongs, French knife, wire whip, rubber spatula, stainless steel bowl, Swiss Army Knife, pizza pan. You could put on a decent meal with just that stuff. Maybe even deliver a baby in some parts of the world.

10" saute pan, tongs, chef knife, small all-purpose knife, wire whisk, spatula, chopsticks, 8 qt. soup pot, citrus reamer, maple cutting board (made it myself).

Peachcreek, I trust your Swiss Army Knife didn't play a role in your son's recent arrival!

I'd like to go beyond 10 and add a few to my list:

Glasses (although they are reading classes, I seem to need them in the kitchen for everything, even to saute)
Band-aides :cry: (although tightly wound paper towels work too) And I have to add that since taking a knife-skills class, I cut myself in much more interesting ways. :smiles:
NPR :talk: (prep company)
The smell of freshly opened cat food :lips: (this brings the cat who also keeps me company. At least until she's finished eating)
Too many sources, resources, and variations on a dish I've made hundreds of times :confused: (there's always a chance it could be improved):bounce:
