Cooking utensils
We've talked about pots, pans, woks...any recommendations on cooking utensils? Need a turner for example. I have non-stick, metal, and ceramic coated pans...
I put more trust in the PPOT brain trust than a Google search. Thanks! |

restaurant supply store. that one off the 580 in Oakland is mind blowing.
and my favorite spoon is still the lowly wooden spoon. i love how it gets all tarnished and stained..

Depends on what the tool is. For spoons and turners I prefer wood. Usually cheap ones because they feel better in my hand but they only last about a decade before a handle snaps. The expensive ones make my hand hurt when using it for mashed potatoes or other thick things because the handles are too thick but that depends on your preference.
For whisks, tongs and ladles I use stainless. NSF from a restaurant supply house. They aren't any more expensive but they are more heavy duty and are made from 18/10 stainless instead of department store stuff that's only 18/0 (and has a tendency to rust). And I only have one silicone spatula (actually spoonula because they're more useful than just a spatula). I only use it when baking and it never sees the stove top or heat. Heat makes them break down and they end up turning greasy (and usually end up smelling like fuel). |

Home Goods or Ross for kitchen stuff. Cost Plus isn't bad either. I also buy Cutco stuff off of Ebay, I like the handles and durability...
