Thread: Kitchen equipment

These just arrived today. I know what I'll be making this weekend - caneles.

Mauviel hammered copper tin lined pots. Saute, fry, windsor, a few sizes of sauce pans, and a stock pot. Other odds and ends.

Yup, that sounds about right for me too.

I have a Breville espresso machine. It's kind of a n nonsense model. It's not one of those push a button and here comes your macchiato machines. It's a grind yourself, fill, and tamp models. I don't use it but maybe once every couple of weeks but I could never be without it.

And here are the canele.

If only you had added another you could have posted four canelle.

Looks absolutely wonderful! I once looked into buying cannele copper molds, but I never got around to it.

I have a silicone canele mold but I have to say that the results from silicone suck. You simply don't get the even browning that the copper ones deliver. So much so that I have to say it's not really even the same product without copper. These have the crunchy exterior they are supposed to have.

Too much to list, my wife has 3 of everything, but the things I couldn't do without would be our Le Creuset cast pans, electric slow cooker, tagine, and our tramontina stainless pot set, which is great for slow cooking on the fire over winter. The microwave does get as lot of use re-heating left-overs because SWMBO likes to cook twice as much as anyone can possibly eat in one go......
