Description: Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.Many times my guests and I have discussed the importance of having good tools to work with in the kitchen. As with any art form, the tools you use to practice the art of home will have a direct impact on the quality of your work. That's not to say you can't get good results with poor tools, but you will have to work a lot harder to get those results. In this Monday Motivation, I'm sharing my suggestions for essential kitchen tools that are worth the splurge for higher quality. NOTES & LINKSCompanion Blog Post with All Links & Suggested ToolsKnives:Here's a good set that includes a chef and paring knifeSerrated Bread KnifeSkillets: start with a 10", then add 12-14" and an 8"Stainless SteelCast Iron Enamel Coated Cast IronDutch Oven: I recommend 5-7 quart capacity, depending on family sizeuncoated cast ironenamel coated cast iron: budget option, splurge optionStand MixerKitchen Aid, ProfessionalBosch, highly recommended for bread doughCuisinart, a good all-purpose budget optionAnkarsrum, very pricy, but has great reviews, not available on amazonSupport the showHOMEMAKING RESOURCES Private Facebook Group, Homemaker Forum Newsletter Archive JR Miller's Homemaking Study Guide SUPPORT & CONNECT Review | Love The Podcast Contact | Voicemail |Instagram | Facebook | Website | Email Follow | Follow The Podcast Support | theartofhomepodcast.com/support **Buy | as an Amazon affiliate, AoH receives a small commission at no extra cost to you when you use our links to purchase items we recommend
