My new cookware arrived yesterday! It's so shiny and pretty that I took a picture after I finished unpacking everything. It's not a great photo but I'll share it anyway.
Now it's time to actually use them and I'm a bit nervous. Cooking on stainless steel is going to be a learning curve, but I've watched enough YouTube tutorials on the subject that I feel like I can probably do okay. I'm hoping the quality of my cooking goes up with better tools to work with!
I debated about the first meal I wanted to make with them, and this morning I decided: braised beef short ribs in red wine sauce. I went to the butcher shop down the road and bought two pounds of beautiful short ribs. I sure hope I don't screw them up, because the price was eye-watering. :) I plan to pair them with basmati rice, green beans from the garden, and slices of fresh tomatoes, also from the garden.
I'll report back tomorrow on how everything turns out! Wish me luck!
Your new cookware is fabulous! I can't wait to hear the cooking results.
ReplyDeleteWe buy our beef from a former 4H kid of mine (who is now 40 with 3 kids of his own). We used to buy a 1/2 steer but my husband talked me into quarters. I can't believe the prices in the store. I knew I got a bargain but I almost faint when I see store prices.
What lovely cookingware! Is the little red strawberry on your counter a sugar bowl? I have one which is the actual replica of one my mother had when I was a little girl (REAALLY little like maybe 8 or 9). I got it at an antique shop. I am 84 now and I have a 1940's style kitchen with red accents.
ReplyDeleteYes! It's a sugar bowl. I got it at Pier 1 Imports years ago.
DeleteStainless steel is great cooking! It heats evenly.
ReplyDeleteYou are going to honor that new cookware with your cooking. I know it.
ReplyDeleteA nice anniversary present that you will both enjoy! Best of luck with your yummy dinner.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I’m glad you shared the photo. Can’t wait to read about the First Supper.
ReplyDeleteIt looks a bit like what I have. Is it Tramontina?
ReplyDeleteYes! Please tell me you like yours...!
DeleteThe new pots and pans are purty and I cannot wait to hear how the meal turned out. I love some good food porn!
