Crock pot or slow cooker - for stocks, soups, stews. I actually have 2 - one round and one oval and sometimes they are both going at once.
Large stockpot - for stocks and stews. You will need either a crock pot or a soup pan, and may need both.
Le Creuset enamelled cast iron frying pan - available in NZ from online shops like Table Pride and the Studio of Tableware. Read more about cast iron pans on the WAPF Wellington blog.
Large food processor - for a variety of jobs
Blender - for breakfast smoothies
Stick blender - the kind that has a detachable handle, and three attachments is very useful. Mine has a blender, whisk and mini food processor.
