Yeah, Pyrex nesting bowls. I'm kind of glad I haven't found a place yet to put them away; I like seeing them out on the counter.

Another vote for Bar Keeper's Friend!

And a well-seasoned iron skillet (which you shouldn't clean with the Bar Keepers Friend!)

Parchment paper, really helps with clean up. I also have the nesting pyrex bowls, they're great. I received them from my mother-in-law, she got them for a wedding present, 60 years ago.

Also love my seasoned iron skillet and kitchen aide.

Bon Ami is your friend for life.... just as great as Mrs. Meyer's but waaaaay cheaper & a few good old cast iron skillets. Those pop-up sponges (I get mine from Trader Joe's) are also pretty awesome.

Kitchen tongs/salad tongs. Good for both cooking and reaching things on high shelves.

I'd have to second the Groland butcher block kitchen island. Love it!

Mrs. Meyers is crazy-expensive, but the geranium scent is the nicest cleaning smell I've ever come across.
