This is what I have (some of it) in the way of toys and goodies in the kitchen. We set it up as a "Country Kitchen" where 4 people can do 4 different things at the same time and not be in the way of each other. We have catered several gatherings of 40 guests with no problem, (the Tappan 5 burner range makes a big difference), just cleared the counter and set up 5 steamer racks and still had room at each end for plates and salads and the breakfast nook (in front of the half wall) was clear for the beaverage/bar set up. We enjoy cooking and with this kitchen makes it all that much easier.
As time progressed, we have added more "toys" to the kitchen. You may notice some things are small, like the deep fryer. Reason being 1) storage space available 2) amount of use. Now to the New Toys.....

A popular pause-and-serve function allows for pouring a cup midbrew, and an audible signal indicates when brewing is complete. To keep coffee warm from one to five hours, the unit also offers an adjustable-time heating plate with a default of two hours.

Chicago Metallic Commercial 18 by 13-Inch Jelly Roll Pan (Half Sheet Pan) Made to withstand commercial use, while still producing a professional product, this is a pan worth owning. Naturally you can make jelly roll cakes in it, but you will no doubt it comes in handy for baking bar cookies, breasts of chicken, and a host of other foods. Its extra large size comes in handy for large families or catering operations. Chicago Metallic's classic 18-by-13-by-1-inch pan is a must for any baker's kitchen. Line it with parchment or wax paper, and thin cakes come out ready to roll. With slightly tapered sides, the pan holds twelve cups by volume, just right for a basic sheet cake. To make smaller cakes, line with aluminum foil, folding it into a little wall and filling the unused portion with dried beans or rice for balance. This versatile pan also accommodates 12 large cookies or shortbread.

Chicago Metallic Commercial 12-1/4 by 9-Inch Small Jelly Roll Pan (1/4 sheet pan) Made to withstand commercial use, while still producing a professional product, this is a pan worth owning. Naturally you can make jelly roll cakes in it, but you will no doubt it comes in handy for baking bar cookies, breasts of chicken, and a host of other foods. This jelly-roll pan may be diminutive in size, but it offers the same strength, durability, and reliability that Chicago Metallic has provided in top-quality bakeware for more than 100 years. The compact size fits neatly into shelves and deep drawers, cleans up quickly, and is a manageable size for baking with children. Once available only to commercial kitchens, the pan is made of professional-weight aluminized steel, so it won't buckle or bend under intense heat and consistently provides fast and even heat distribution. Foods brown quickly and evenly--there's no need to turn the pan midway through baking. Bakers new to aluminized steel should pay extra attention at first, since this heavy-gauge pan bakes more quickly than lighter-gauge varieties. The pan gradually darkens with use, which actually improves heat retention, but it may also require that oven temperatures are lowered by 25 degrees to ensure even browning. The traditional uncoated surface of this sheet makes it extra rugged and a great conductor of heat, but butter, oil, or parchment paper should be used to prevent foods from sticking. Greasing or lining the pan simplifies cleanup, since the pan will go from oven to dishwasher with no scrubbing in between. The shallow rim of the pan ensures a tidy oven as well--melting cheese and loose nuts stay contained.

Cuisinart Chef's Classic Ceramic Bakeware 5-Ounce Ramekin Set, Red Made of virtually non-porous, heavy weight commercial stoneware, these ramekins are stain, crack and chip-resistant. They have high thermal shock resistance too, which means you can move them from freezer to microwave or oven.

Bake mini soufflés or custards in this set of four 5-ounce ramekins from Cuisinart. Each ceramic ramekin is made of heavy commercial-quality stoneware, a nonporous material that doesn't absorb moisture, odors, or flavors, resulting in the type of long-lasting durability that chefs prefer. The manufacturing process also imparts a toughness to stoneware products, making them resistant to chips, cracks, and stains. Like other Chef's Classic bakeware, these ramekins are versatile in the kitchen, doubling as serving dishes for both baked goods and items such as nuts and chopped herbs. Leftovers aren't a problem, either, as the dishes store spoilable desserts in the fridge of freezer after baking, and are safe when used later in the microwave for reheating. The ramekins are dishwasher-safe and carry a limited lifetime warranty.

| Part of the Classic series, this knife represents two centuries of unexcelled Wüsthof craftsmanship. Like other cutlery in the series, it's hand-forged from a single piece of stainless steel for maximum strength; the hand-polished blade is exactingly calibrated to be hard enough to resist dulling yet soft enough to take a keen edge when it's honed or sharpened. Dishwasher-safe and with a traditionally shaped, ergonomically designed handle that is triple-riveted for durability, this knife brings a guaranteed lifetime of low-maintenance cutting to any cook who owns it. | With a flexible blade that bends around big bones and joints, this knife will fillet a trout but works best with poultry and meats. Classic three-rivet handles distinguish Pro S from Henckels' other quality lines. Pro S handles are heavier and its knives less weight-forward. Handles are also smaller, a feature those with small hands may appreciate. The steel used in the Pro S line is identical to that of the Five and Four Star lines. While this boning knife is dishwasher-safe, hand washing is recommended. | ||

| It may seem like a contradiction, but sharp knives are the safest. With a clean edge, a knife is more predictable and easier to control. If you've purchased a top-of-the-line knife, maintaining the quality of the blade ensures maximum value from your investment. This Chef's Choice knife sharpener performs professional-quality sharpening on any knife, from gourmet knives to hunting knives--even serrated knives can be sharpened with this machine. For top-quality edges, there are two sharpening and honing stages, which use 100% diamond abrasives, and a final polishing stage. Each stage uses precision angle guides to create a unique "Trizor-Plus" edge for maximum sharpness and durability, while a magnetic pad collects residue so the machine is easy to clean and maintain. While a sharp knife is indeed a safe knife, it's wise to use caution with your newly sharpened knives, as they'll be sharper than you expect. | Distinguished among All-Clad's renowned cookware collections by its stylish, charcoal-black, hard-anodized aluminum exterior, the LTD line provides serious and professional cooks with all the virtues that make All-Clad's worldwide reputation unsurpassed. Key to its high performance is a three-ply, bonded construction. Sandwiched between the exterior and an 18/10 stainless-steel interior lies a thick core of pure aluminum that spreads heat evenly across the bottoms of pots and pans and all the way up the sides. The interior is highly polished so it's stick- as well as corrosion-resistant. The striking exterior resists scratching, chipping, and peeling. This shallow 10-1/2-inch sauté pan exemplifies why All-Clad's LTD cookware is so popular among contemporary cooks. It's practical as well as beautiful, large enough for properly sautéing food without crowding and also perfect for stir-frying. Its polished, 18/10 stainless-steel handle is riveted to the pan for strength, grooved on the top and rounded on the bottom for comfort, and holed in the end for hanging on hook or peg. The long handle stays cool on the stovetop but won't be harmed by an oven's highest heat, so the pan can even be placed under the broiler. LTD cookware carries a lifetime warranty against defects and should be hand washed. | ||

Crafted from high-quality, noncorrosive metal and featuring a two-ply nonstick coating, the set contains three 9-inch round cake pans and a plastic batter divider. Just place the divider in a pan, pour two alternating batters (one dark and one light) into the three circles the divider creates, then remove the divider and bake. Stack the finished layers so the colors alternate. When your cake is cut, a luscious, three-layered checkerboard masterpiece will be revealed. The nonstick finish makes cleanup easy, and the pans are dishwasher-safe as well. If you choose to wash them by hand, though, use a nylon pad--rather than steel wool or abrasive cleaners--to protect the nonstick surface. This set comes with instructions and a recipe for chocolate-and-vanilla cake. | ||

| These shiny Calphalon measuring cups are fit for a serious baker or chef. Consisting of 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup sizes, this set is constructed of mirror-polished 18/10 stainless steel that will not rust, stain, or corrode after years of precisely measuring flour, sugar, and baking soda. Held together by a stainless-steel ring that easily snaps apart, these straight-sided cups are heavier, sturdier, and more beautiful than your average measuring cups. Each cup is etched with its capacity and displays the Calphalon name on its broad handle. The handles are long enough--about 5-1/2 inches--to dig ingredients out of the bottom of bags and containers. You can run the cups through the dishwasher after use. The set on the ring measures 9 inches long and carries a lifetime warranty. | Made of heavyweight, rustproof, 18/10 stainless steel, these professional-grade measuring cups precisely portion dry ingredients in odd sizes: 3/4 cup, 1-1/2 cups, and 1-3/4 cups.

Their long handles have a smart, contrasting satin-finish, and they fasten together with a removable clip. The cups are dishwasher-safe. | ||
