Must Have Kitchen Equipment For Home Chefs with Big Families

by

First, I just want to say thank you so much for your support of our website and social media channels, KelloggShow across all medium. You wouldn’t believe the number of question we get regarding feeding a family our size. From budget to products to recipes, so I wanted to address these questions in a 3-part series, the first being the easiest, our kitchen equipment. What we use, in our kitchen, to feed what is now 18 people!! So to start, here are our kitchen must-haves for our super sized Catholic family!

Cooking Equipment for Big Family

And, so you know, we try very hard to use things made in the USA, but sometimes, it is absolutely outside of our price point. I cannot justify $700 pots, like I can’t justify North Face coats … there are people in need and I shed my name brand snobbery when I became a mom of many, first out of necessity and then out of principal.

PS – the one Le Creuset pot we have was given to us used eons ago! 🙂
