Fish poachers

A poissonière is for larger fish like salmon, while a truitière is for smaller fish such as trout.

Gratins

A gratin is wide and shallow, round or oval, with stick, loop, or ring handles.

Skillets

Often called poêle in French.

Soup pots

A cylindrical pot with side handles that is taller than it is wide. The tall narrow shape helps heat liquid without exposing too much surface area that would evaporate moisture.

Stockpots

A cylindrical pot with side handles that is as tall as it is wide.

Working pans

A lot of my writeups are on pans fresh from restoration — and they look fabulous. But I use my copper pans too. These are pans I really love and cook with regularly, so you can see what copper in frequent use looks like.
