Wedding Registry Suggestions

Back when Rohini and Steve got married, Janel and I put together a list of the stuff that we registered for and actually use AND the stuff we wished we registered for. Mariko wanted the same thing, so I thought I would just post it here.

"Cuisinart DLC-2ABC Mini Prep Plus, Brushed Chrome" (link)
- I thought ours was a bit cheaper than this one ... there might be a cheaper version ... but you get the idea

Zojirushi CD-LCC30 Micom 3.0-Liter Electric Dispensing Pot (link)
- Hot water heater ... we use this every day for tea and making oatmeal or just getting a jump on boiling small amounts of water on the stove

Calphalon Commercial Hard-Anodized 12-Inch Everyday Pan with Lid (link)
- We use this all the time ... really cheap on Amazon

Schott Zwiesel Forte Burgundy/Pinot Glass
- This is the brand that makes the wine glasses that use titanium instead of lead. I really like them ... and would scope it out. They are really nice, but also very sturdy. You can put them in the dishwasher and such. Janel and I got a larger (12?) set of cheaper wine glasses (and water glasses) for if we are ever entertaining, and have a set of 4 of these which we basically just use all the time.

Nested Glass Bowls (link)
- I can't find a name to search for ... but we have a set of like 8 nested glass bowls that we use all the time. The take up relatively no space which is really handy

Set of Corning Ware

Nice Knives
- If you are going to get knives, I would recommend the Wusthof Classic line. The Wüsthof Classic 8-Piece Block Set (link) is good. They are quality knives and not *too* expensive.

*BIG* Pot (~12 quart)
- Lots of options here. One is the Cuisinart Classic Stockpot (link).
- Janel and I like to make a giant batch of soup about once a month which we freeze. We then have it once a week, which cuts down on the amount of cooking and is easy/healthy. We can give you some good recipes if you want. But ... I would get a big pot if you are interested in going this route. 12 quarts is a good size.

2 "Medium" pots.
- 8 quart pots are really useful. It seems obvious that you would get one ... but we have two of them and use them together all the time.

Oxo Good Grips Tongs (16in link) (9in link)
- These are really nice. They come in a variety of sizes. Even though they are not "officially" made for it, the longer ones make great grilling tongs (I was watching a grilling show and they said that they recommended them). The shorter ones we use for all kinds of stuff.

Martini Glasses -- I would almost recommend not registering for these. We registered for 4 and ended up getting 12 which is just way too much.

Matching decent luggage is also something to consider if you don't already have some decent stuff.

More Towels than you think you need.
