im 16 and i really want to be a culinary chef. my mom and i are moving out of the house and id like the new kitchen to have the basic cooking equipment (pans, pots, etc). also if you extra suggestions or brand names that'd be sweet.
i want to make it my career, (but thnx). i just want sum quality equipment so i can learn for now. plannin on goin to culinary college, so ill already have more expierience from cookin at home, ya know?

Just get the basics, do not spend a lot of money on equipment. If you want to be a chef, concentrate on the basic skills like cutting and knife skills, etc. This knowledge and a degree from a good culinary schools can help you go far in the field.

Chuckwagon Cooking Equipments

The article deals with the meaning of Chuckwagon, history and mainly with the tools and equipments used in Chuckwagon cooking. Chuckwagon was invented by Colonel Charles Goodnight in 1866 in US after the Civil War. The need of Chuckwagon arose when the cattle owner with the cowboys and their cattle travelled Texas to Midwest. Then Charles Goodnight who himself was a cattle owner invented this amazing wagon which was built from the army surplus wagon. He chose those wagons which were able to cover long distances and converted the back portion of the wagon into the mobile kitchen and carried the cooking equipments known as Chuckwagon cooking equipments and cooking material. These equipments were also specially designed that means they were light weight and compact and the cooking material was such which could remain for long like salt meat, beans, cookies or biscuits and coffee. In the modern era due to many inventions and developments the Chukwagon concept has become past story. Now there are big vehicles for transportation. But still because of formation of American Chuckwagon Association the concept is still alive. The members of the association take part in Chuckwagon races and cooking. Now these Chuckwagons are used as heritage, for camping and for the hunters.

Description

With the ability to count up & down in 4 channels separately or simultaneously, the CDN PT1A 4-Event Timer & Clock features a unique loud and long alarm for each individual channel. The programmable timer includes a clock with international time and a stopwatch, stop and restart functions, and a sliding mode switch. Includes a pocket clip, magnet, stand, and a loop. Battery (1.5V Button IEC LR44 Alkaline) and instructions included. 5 year limited warranty.

Multi-taskers, take heart: this digital timer/clock lets you keep track of four different tasks simultaneously. Each of the four channels can be programmed to either count up to or down from 100 hours by seconds, with four separate alarms (one to four beeps, corresponding to the four channels), so that you can time tonight’s dinner, be alerted for an expected business call in the morning, tune into a favorite television show two days from now, and time your child’s oral book report all at the same time. The clearly marked buttons are straightforward to use, and a switch on the side lets you choose between the clock and other functions. A pocket clip, stand, and magnet add to the convenience of the device, which measures 2-3/4 by 2-1/4 by 5/8 inches. Hearing impaired users will appreciate the flashing ‘flags’ that say "Time’s Up," when the alarm goes off, and "Over Time," when the timer begins counting up after the alarm first sounds. CDN covers the digital timer with a five-year warranty against defects. One button battery is included for operation.--Ann Bieri

  • Separate alarm for each of the 4 channels
