I know you're more of a cook than a baker, but I'd appreciate a similar list for those of us who are more at home using the oven than the stovetop. Your stove-to-oven pans are certainly more practical than my 'non-stick' with plastic handled pans, but I'd love any other baking specific recommendations you can offer. Also the one thing I'd change from this list - I'd recommend a ceramic peeler rather than a metal one. Cheap metal peelers (or even semi-expensive metal peelers) have a tendency to rust if they aren't properly dried after use, and drying can pose a finger-cutting hazard for the less coordinated. Ceramic peelers will stay sharp forever, will never rust, and also look kinda cool. Sur la Table sells one relatively inexpensively, at that!

As I am moving out of 16 East relatively shortly (late spring, or early summer) and, hopefully, into my own place I plan on doing much more cooking at home. This will be a valuable resource for me as I collect my own set of cookware. A hearty thank you. Glad to see the blog is back up and running. This is a great post.
