What tools does Natasha Nicholes recommend for effective home cooking?

Natasha leans hard into tools that are both beautiful and hardworking in the kitchen.

From her posts, here are standouts she recommends and actually uses at home:

1. Martha Stewart enameled cast iron (8 qt, 6 qt, and 2 qt): for casseroles, stews, braises, and stove-to-oven cooking
2. Lodge or Calphalon cast-iron skillets: for frying, sautéing, and searing
3. Silpat baking liners: reusable, thicker silicone mats for cookies and easy cleanup
4. Fun but functional measuring cups and spoons (no “unitaskers”)
