Go to your local restaurant-supply store (nobody should ever buy kitchen equipment from anywhere but there), and get some stainless steel mixing bowls. They're dishwasher-safe and come in tons of sizes. Even a huge one will cost you about five bucks. Help Me Find Good Bowls for Mixing and Baking Good Questions | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

The best way to go is to get one container with holes in it to allow drainage, and put that inside a slightly larger container to hold the water that drains off.

I've got one of those probe-on-a-lead digital thermometers, which is supposed to be for meat and such, but the box said it works all the way up to 273 degrees, which covers most temps you'll need for candymaking. You can get one for about 20 bucks at any big-box store. Recommendations for Digital Candy Thermometer? Good Questions | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |

The Very Good Chocolate Cake recipe from Edna Lewis' cookbook The Gift of Southern Cooking is the BEST chocolate cake you'll ever eat. It's pretty labor-intensive and yields a really impressive cake.

I have this cookbook and I love it. But the recipes are all complicated and pretty difficult. It's not a quick-weeknight-dinner cookbook for sure. This is one of the easiest recipes, and it takes a good hour or so to make. How To Make Root Vegetable Bread Dumplings | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn |
