Check out the entire collection to discover the pieces that will take your dinner to the next level.

Start with the Basics

When outfitting any kitchen, it is important to start with the basics. Every kitchen needs an essential set of pots and pans that includes various sizes and styles. Deep saucepans, simple skillets and fry pans are going to be the items you reach for most. Look for a durable variety that is oven-safe, so you can take it from stovetop to oven with ease. Pot and pan sets can feature anywhere from three to 10 pieces or more, depending upon the collection selected.

Because these are the items that will be used most often, it is essential to invest in quality pieces from the beginning. When pots and pans are designed to be tough, they will last for many years to come. Look at the care instructions when making your final selection to help extend the life of the pieces.

Collect Specialty Cookware

Once the basics are in the kitchen it is time to have a little more fun and add specialty items to the collection. Start by considering the type of cooking you do and choose items designed to prepare those meals easier. Some great options include:

• Outdoor Cookware Sets
• Roasting Pans
• Griddles
• Cast Iron Pans
• Stock Pots
• Woks
• Muffin Pans

Specialty open stock cookware makes a great gift idea as well. Treat the avid home chef in your life to a steam oven or paella pan to show them how much you take interest in their love of cooking. If the friend is more of a baker, consider treating them to a set of cake pans or measuring bowls. An apron or set of dish cloths can be added to the cookware to make it a more complete gift.

With so many different cookware options available at Williams Sonoma, it is easy to find the perfect items to add to your growing kitchen collection. Mix-and-match your favorite pieces or purchase multiple items from the same collection to get a cohesive look.
