I love to cook, Walmart or Kmart has cheap pots and pans go for the stainless steel, some of the other ones whatever they use to line the inside can sometimes be scraped of and that can get in your foods. Get 2 cutting boards; one for veggies the other for meats, lowers the risk of spreading bacteria. I recommend the Mazola Pure cooking spray it has no silicone or alcohol. Get a convection toaster oven. I have one that fully cooks frozen chicken breats in 20 mins and they don't come out dry. I make just about any thing in there.
