besides the obvious like measuring cups, spatulas, wooden spoons, whisks etc

pizza stone
saute, sauce, roasting and CAST IRON FRYING pans
slow cooker
cooking forks
mortar and pestle
paring knives (amongst normal kitchen knives)
meat mallet

it's not even funny how badly i need silpats. NOT EVEN FUNNY.

ha. my mom has 4 of them. she loves those things. i don't bake enough to warrant having one just yet.

see, i don't bake much, but i need a silpat for when i make meatloaf... it always ends up sticking to my baking dish, no matter how much i grease it up first.

plus, silpats prevent the bottoms of your cookies from burning, which is the number one reason i don't bake cookies anymore. damn things always burn.

all i need during a regular week is a celphelon grill and my bullet blender

oooooh i want one of those bullet blenders!! do you love it?

get some farberware or jelly roll pans- i've never burned a cookie on em. jelly roll pans are the only thing that have ever given me a perfect pumpkin roll. i love em.

I used to use tongs for everything, now its all about the grill fork -- I have about 5 of them .. I just bought two more yesterday for outside use only

puncturing the meat with a fork permits the juices to escape. tongs are much better.

I guess your right, but I haven't been the one cooking steak lately .. and he uses his fingers to flip them

hmmm ..why do you have to grease a pan to make meatloaf? I usually dump a bunch of extra bread crumbs in the meatloaf because it can be too greasy with the pork and chicken and beef mix
