Equipment

 

Delia says, 'Good kitchen equipment is expensive, but most items last a lifetime and will pay for themselves over and over again. I see so many people attempting to cook with battered saucepans with ill-fitting lids, with blunt knives and makeshift scales – often in the homes of those who have spent a fortune on kitchen fixtures. But all the matching units in the world can't compensate for having to peel Brussels sprouts with a table knife.'
