Ina Garten is renowned for her no-fuss recipes and dinner parties, but that doesn’t mean she shies away from using high-end tools. In fact, the Food Network star and cookbook author has always been a proponent of keeping a few well-chosen kitchen staples on hand. Her go-to cookware includes Le Creuset’s heavy-bottomed Dutch ovens in a fiery orange shade and All-Clad’s versatile stainless steel pots and pans. She also prefers to use a handful of classic Wusthof knives, which are durable and easy to sharpen.
The items she keeps on hand can help any home chef create a host’s dream kitchen, and they’re currently on sale at Sur La Table. During the retailer’s major winter sale, the two A-list brands are offering steep discounts on the must-have cookware that the Barefoot Contessa often uses.
Ina Garten is all about simplicity, and that means avoiding the gimmicks and unnecessary kitchen tools in favor of quality pieces that can do multiple jobs. As she explains in her cookbook “Barefoot Contessa Foolproof,” a good knife is “like a surgeon with the right scalpel.” And while a fancy chef’s blade might be tempting, it’s important to keep in mind that inexpensive tools can perform just as well.
