Anna Olson's kitchen

Anna Olson's top 5 must-haves for her kitchen

1 Her oven
The commercial gas oven is a vintage piece: Anna bought it years ago from a local college that was closing down. Not only is it accurate, but its two decks double its efficiency.

2 Her pantry
The stainless steel glass-door pantry was a pie fridge discarded from a local diner. Its open storage keeps staples visible.

3 An immersion blender
It's simple, practical, and no-fuss portable.

4 Enamelled cast-iron cookware
Anna collects both new and vintage Le Creuset pots. "I love how they conduct and hold the heat."

5 Good knives
Anna uses IVO cutlery, but cautions, "It takes playing with a few types" to find the knives you like.
