“It’s time to turn those leftover Halloween pumpkins from window displays into delicious soup using this month’s top picks”

The Matfer Bourgeat Stockpot with faucet is an NSF approved stainless steel pot that is easy to clean both inside and out. The base is covered with metallic stainless steel which makes this a great choice for induction cooking. Perhaps the best feature is the insulated handles which are great for preventing heat transfer, allowing the pot to be
picked up without burning the cook! It is available in 9 1/2, 11, 121/2, 14 1/8, 15 3/4 inch diameters.

The Waring induction burner makes cooking faster, and more efficient. The four-inch diameter requirement for pans ensures that almost any pan can be used. It detects compatible pans so that one does not need
to worry trying to find a magnet to check the bottom. A durable tempered-glass cooking surface is durable enough to hold large stock
pots. Its temperature can reach up to 450 degrees Fahrenheit for a wide range of cooking applications ranging from warming to searing. Perhaps the best feature is the digital timer–one can keep track of cooking cycles up to 3 hours long.

The Matfer Bourgeat spiral Whisk continues to use the Exoglass handle which is around 11 inches long, and is flared to prevent the whisk
sliding down into the pot. The handle is airtight and heat resistant to 430 degrees Fahrenheit. Perhaps the best new feature to the durable
line of whisks is the spiral design. The three-and-a-half-inch head made of stainless steel has an easy to disable feature for cleaning.
The spiral design allows the whisk to get into the corners and base of the pot preventing any burning and can limit the amount of air bubbles
when mixing delicate recipes. This is my must have when adding gelatin into a puree.
