What an excellent roundup of essentials, but I would have made the list 8 and added your wood stove, it is beautiful and essential for winter cooking, and of course because I am especially enamoured with them and yours. 😊

I do so love cast iron but got rid of most of them due to our normal electric range which is a flat top and the glass seemed to mark easily... hoping I just put them in storage instead of thrifting them and that I will find them again... I did recently purchase a flat plate from The Lodge and love it for making my pizzas.

Excellent post!
