Stocking your kitchen with the necessary cookware is as easy as pie. Instead of a frying pan, most often listed as a necessity, buy a home griddle. The price is about the same as a good frying pan, but far more versatile. The regular round frying pan has a lot of wasted space, while a griddle, with its rectangular shape, has virtually no wasted space. You can fit about eight chicken legs on a griddle at once, not possible in a conventional frying pan. The griddle also allows you to cook a few slices of ham, a couple of eggs and a few pancakes all in one shot. Cook an omelet and toast a couple of rolls, with the entire meal ready at the same time. If you can afford just one pot, a 2-quart heavy sauce pan will accomplish just about every basic cooking task you’ll need.
