Home Shopping Chef says "beware of costly cookware"

It has been over twenty years since I heard about the myth that Great cookware, makes a Great cook. The truth is, while bad cookware can play an important part of the end result of our culinary endeavors, it is not the sole reason why most of us fail at our culinary creations. Back in 1983 I was attending Culinary School in the Northeast of the United States, and at this time, there were only five accredited culinary schools in the U.S. While the passion and hobby of cooking was still alive and well in this Country, the thought of becoming a trained Chef and pursuing a career was not on the radar of American Trades. In fact, at this time the two top trade schools in America were for becoming an electrician or a plumber. Now you can only imagine that the cookware that we were using and the technology that was available does not compare to what we have today. Not to mention the gadgets and quick and easy systems like search engines for recipes and TV cooking shows. All of this is a blessing to my beloved trade, and I welcome any and all who would like to become a better cook.

 The one thing that seemly gets lost in this rapid advancement of technology is the basic principles of just how to cook. If you really want to become a better cook and watch your culinary imagination soar to new heights, you must first decide that you are willing to learn the basic how's and why's of this amazing trade. Keep in mind that every recipe has been done, and the reason that some turn out better than others, is the basic understanding of the chemistry that is involved with blending ingredients.

The average person or Family cooks at home 1/1/2 times per week. This means you will have used your cookware less than 80 times in the course of one year. Now, it is my wish and hope that more people begin to cook at home, but do to lack of success in the kitchen as well as our busy schedules, it just not going to happen. So I pose to you the question, does it makes sense to have $5,000 worth of cookware collecting dust? I think not. You are much better off learning the proper way to cook with good quality cookware than believing that the expensive big time highly advertised cookware is going to make you a better cook. Take the time to learn the basics, and I promise you that you will soar to amazing levels of culinary delights. You can find the basic how's and why's on my website at http://www.homeshoppingchef.com/. Here you will also be able to pick up great quality cookware at very affordable prices with no shipping and handling to your door.
