TODAY on MHTV: You don’t need every type of pan under the sun to make great food, but you do need a couple basics. My friend Erika is here and I’m showing her how to make the most of her kitchen pans. A braising pan, or deep skillet, is great for something like chicken cacciatore while a non-stick pan is my go-to for any kind of fish; today I’m using it for pan-seared red snapper. And, of course, my favorite: cast-iron. I’m using it to make a one-pan pork chop meal that’s super easy and delicious. More from the show.

Rustic home cook, practical cook, chef. Lucinda on her three sons, the cooks she hired over the years, and why you only need one superpower in the kitchen. -
The salad dressing Lucinda’s mother Rose made every night got two million views on TikTok. A lettuce recall, a pair of measuring spoons, and a damn good dressing. Recipe included. -
Our prior dog had passed. We weren’t sure we wanted another. Then a cinnamon-colored puppy named Lychee was the last one left at the Cape Ann Animal Shelter. -
Every tool we make has to do more than one job. Lucinda on where that rule came from, the Super Spoon, and a 100-year-old potato masher called a Beetle. -
A dish from Al Forno in Providence that Lucinda never forgot, and finally made from memory twenty years later: creamy double corn polenta with a crater of tomatoes on top.

I thought Erika was adorable… Maybe because I’m younger (28) than most viewers? Either way, love the show!

Thanks for the tip on the spurtula. I ordered one from Kitchen Carvers. I received it within a few days. I may buy a second one in cherry. It was perfect and almost exactly like Lucindas. Check out the site. I encourage anyone who wants one to purchase one from this company. Made in the USA!!!
