Hmm, I'll see if there's a sharpener (person) around here (I'm in the DC area, so I'm sure there is). I read that knives don't need to be sharpened too often, so maybe it's not worth the investment anyway (especially if the sharpener ruins the knives)

Thank you for your suggestions. I'm definitely going to add a stainless 2 Qt. saucepan to my list, as well as another dutch oven. I'm going to go see the ovens in person and decide on the sizes (I'm leaning toward something around 4/5 and 7/8).

I have a kitchen aid stand mixer, food processor, emersion blender, regular blender, icecream maker, etc. I wish I could have a grill but we live in an apartment, so I got the grill pan. I have 4 silpat mats - I love to bake.

I want to cook anything and everything. It's hard when you register b/c you're supposed to build your kitchen when you've never been in an opportunity to afford the things you want or try them out for that matter. Plus, I wanted to buy pans that would be useful when we have a family.

I thought the stock pot would be good for steaming shellfish and cooking corn. Also, for making large soup recipes (for which I have needed a pot that size).

I think I'll stick with what I have, except maybe to switch the Staub and Le Creuset.

I haven't used anything because it was all at my parent's house until this past weekend.

I just want to know if any experienced cooks have had good/bad experiences with these items or know of better performing ones (like Staub over Le Creuset ovens)

From reading the Board, I'm thinking of trading in my Le Creuset dutch oven for a Stuab....
