I have a rack full hanging from the ceiling...and the rack cost more than the pots. I got every one of my Revere pots at garage sales-some for only 25 cents! I think that people don't know they can buy a polish for them, so when they get grungy-looking, they put them in yard sales. I polish them after each use-takes just a second.

My husband makes great ribs & pulled pork in the slow cooker. Rice is best in the steam, imho. * Cast iron pots and pans (incl. a dutch oven) -- Cooks great and no more worrying about Teflon nastiness! <abbr><em>Meg from FruWikis last blog post..<a href="http://fruwiki.com/index.php?title=User:Meg&diff=2358&oldid=prev" rel="nofollow">User:Meg</a></abbr></em> * Microwave oven and toaster oven — both cook fast, are great for reheating leftovers, and don’t use a lot of power

It's a tiny little thing that is absolutely ideal for dissolving yeast into water...so much better than a fork. And my big whisk is wonderful too, whether it's pancake batter or mixing dry ingredients together or white sauce......also my collapsable veggie steamer. And high-quality knives. And I too love my immersion blender. I could go on and on, but these are tops! I would be lost without my mini whisk!

Couldn't live without it. I've actually got more than one because one is always in the dishwasher. And, a bit more high tech, my hand held blender. I've had it for years and it great for soups, sauces and even smoothie-type drinks. <abbr><em>Barbaras last blog post..<a href="http://fairymix.blogspot.com/2009/02/hibernation.html" rel="nofollow">hibernating again</a></abbr></em> My vegetable peeler!
