So, I searched the forums, but couldn't find enough disparate opinions, so I thought I would start this thread. This is all under the assumption that you only row open cobras and never drain your cooler (or is it pins and clips and always drain), either way, what are your requirements for a "good kitchen" for a group of 16-20?
I am currently running a mish mash of stuff that doesn't conveniently fit in any box I have, and want to know your opinions about must have kitchen bits (such as knives, dutches, cast iron griddles, or not), nice gadgets (citrus juicer, muddler, and shaker) to worthless crap that people bring and you want to make fun of (most of the rest of my kitchen gear including pineapple shaped cups and drink umbrellas).
I am searching for the zen middle ground of kitchen, where I have everything for the trip that is needed, but not too much extra crap so that I have time to just abide with The Dude on the shores of the river, enjoy a smoke, and have a White Russian.
p.s. currently running (if memory serves)
-12" dutch
-10" dutch
-14" skillet
-6 quart stock pot
-2 quart stock pot
-knife roll with knives from my first marriage
-assorted spoons and spatulas
-paper plates and bowls (to be replaced sooner than later)
-cast iron griddle
-cocktail shaker
-random spices
-1 gallon pitcher with lid for batching cocktails
-random mismatched shite that ended up there
help me out!
