If Ina Garten recommends cookware, I'm going to listen. A reputable chef with impressive culinary talents, it's fair to say Ina knows a thing or two about investing in pieces that'll never fail you.
It's not always easy to sift out the best cookware from the slightly subpar options, so when I spotted Ina's approved list of pieces she uses in her own kitchen, you can imagine my elation.
From sophisticated porcelain platters to cast-iron skillets that'll last for decades, Ina's recommendations (featured on her blog, The Barefoot Contessa) couldn't be more classic. They're simple yet effective and couldn't be more perfect for newbies braving the art of cooking or for long-time foodies building up their cookware collection.
Ina's Cookware Picks
Whenever Ina shares a picture of her home, I'm quick to pay attention. While every room in her house is well-designed, Ina Garten's kitchen is one space that I'm constantly referring to. I've pulled storage ideas from her set-up and have even added a pot hanger to my cooking space since seeing hers. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that, like so many things in my kitchen, I'll be adding these six Ina-approved picks to my collection.
Perfect for a peach cobbler or a crisp-topped mac and cheese, this charming gratin baking dish is one that Ina uses in her own kitchen. Available in a variety of sizes, it'll happily hold a range of dishes.
Made from carbon steel with a silicone coating, this round pan is ideal for a quiche Lorraine or a lemon tart. Finished in a subtle champagne gold, it's a simple yet chic kitchen staple.
