Online shopping is not all about comfort. It also saves a huge amount of your hard earned money and precious time.

I love your blog! I just started one of my own: http://vegetarianismisforeverybody.blogspot.com/.

I would love if you could add me to your blogroll or support me in some other way.

Thanks

Thanks so much! I was adding items from All Clad and Le Creuset, but I was getting some heat from my family for having such expensive items. I feel like I can buy the cheap things on my own and the wedding is a good time to splurge.

Bridal registry, eh? It depends on how you like to cook. Certainly you will need a sautee pan and a pot, at the very least. The more copper, the better. But it is also a bitch to clean and insanely expensive. So I'd look for something with copper in it or, at least, decent heat conductivity. Try a good line, such as All-Clad. You'll also need a dutch oven and, perhaps, a casserole dish. Le Creuset weighs a ton, but it will last so long it will make it into your will! If you bake, you'll need all sorts of forms (pie tins, etc.). I tend to like the French lines, such as Emile Henry.

None of the above are cheap (in fact, they are all expensive, alas). But they are all quality and will work well (if you've only been using cheap stuff, you will really notice a difference), give you good results (good cookware really makes a tangible difference), be easy to clean (much easier than cheap cookware), will easily last a lifetime, and looks good.

And congratulations!

Cheers.

These are great suggestions. Do you have any good ideas for what cookware items to add to a bridal registry?
