In this class, we’ll explore a range of kitchen essentials while cooking together. Along the way, we’ll discuss the why, when, and how behind using different knives, cookware, and kitchen tools.
You’ll learn practical techniques such as how to properly use multi-layered stainless-steel cookware, how to get it to perform like a non-stick surface, and the best methods for cleaning and care. We’ll also cover when to choose enameled cast iron, as well as which essential tools every kitchen should have and how to use them effectively.
