Question

What special equipment, tools and serving utensils are used in traditional italian cuisine?

Answer 1

There are some pieces of cookware that are standard equipment in an Italian kitchen:

- a pasta pot (rather tall better if made of stainless steel), tall enough to accommodate 5 to 7 liters of water

- a sauce pot or skillet (wide and relatively shallow, with lid)

- a colander

- wooden fork and spoon (the fork is for stirring the pasta, the spoon for the sauce)

- a large bowl where to put the pasta and top it with sauce before serving

- a cheese grater (there's a big difference between freshly grated "parmigiano" and cheese bought already grated)

- an espresso coffee maker (best if "Moka Express" by Bialetti)
