After going through all the effort of getting quality food on the table you wouldn’t want to infest it with toxic chemicals form your cookware, would you? Of course not! Here are some of my favorite kitchen tools and appliances.
Stainless Steel Pots and Pans
Stainless steel is toxic-free and great for making rice, pasta, soups, stews, and the like. (Find them online here)
Cast Iron Skillet and Accessories
I love my cast iron cookware! It’s cheap, toxic-free, and will last a life time. We have two skillets and a few other accessories. Make sure to get these accessories to get your going: a handle cover, straight edge spatula, and a scraper. Learn how to care for your cast iron here. (Find them online here.)
Stainless Steel Muffin Pans, Baking Sheets, etc.
A great alternative to teflon. (Find them online here and here.)

Dutch Oven
These are great for real food when camping out OR just for using in the home. We use our to make roasts which are a favorite one pot wonder. (Find it online here.)
Silicone Popsicle Molds
Definitely a fun bonus and not required to get your kitchen started, but for those with little kids I love these. You can make homemade yogurt popsicles full of organic berries. Throw in some gelatin to really make them a nutrition powerhouse. (Find there online here.)
Grain Mill
Not an essential “must have” if you are just starting out, but this is our favorite grain mill for ensuring that our whole grain flours are fresh and full of nutrition. (Find it online here.)
Food Processor
This is definitely a nice gadget to have in your home, although not necessary. You can make things like hummus, nut butters, and other real food goodies. (Find it online here.)
