Aly Approved: Skillets, Dutch Ovens, and Pans!
Every artisan needs the proper tools to master their art, and home chefs are no different! And while we really don’t require a lot of fancy gear and gadgets to make fabulous food, having a few great go-to items on hand can make all the difference in the overall experience and result of our work. Over the years, I’ve loved having the chance to try out so many different products and appliances, and I’m so excited to share a few of my favorites here with you:
11" Hestan NanoBond Skillet - Love, love, love this cookware...amazing titanium bonded stainless steel with lasting beauty, great performance & cleans up like new every time. I use the 11" or 12.5" most often. Enter "ChefAly" on the Hestan Culinary website at checkout for a 25% discount.
Le Creuset Round Dutch Oven - I've had one for about five years and it lives on my stovetop because, 1) it’s beautiful and, 2) I use it a few times a week at least. It’s perfect for soups, stews, or searing and braising. I have the 7/14 qt.
Lodge Cast Iron Pan - There’s nothing like that cast iron sear or to make your own deep dish pizza at home! I have the 12".
