I'll be moving into an apartment in the fall and was starting to gear up for a year of cooking. It'll be typical Italian food using fresh ingredients, as well as a lot of breakfasts.
Whenever I've cooked in the past it has been with my parents' stuff or at the restaurant I work at. So in terms of what I'll need, I really don't have a good idea.
At the moment I'm looking for skillets and a knife block set. I'm guessing I'll want a couple 10" sautee pans and a couple 10" frying pans. I'll also need a pot for pasta (for between 2 and 6 people, not sure what size).
I don't know what material I want, but something without a nonstick coating (that's what margarine is for!). Maybe just cast iron?
On knives, I really don't know what I'm looking for. All I know is I want a metal that will hold it's edge (even if it is harder to sharpen), and is capable of being honed very sharp. Suggestions are greatly welcomed.
I'm going to say my budget for everything is $500.
I'd greatly appreciate any input.
