Hi Marsha - If you've seen us (or guests of ours) use a portable induction cooktop it's likely we are using it simply for convenience. When filming videos, for social media especially, a traditional cooktop setup isn't always positioned to show you what we want you to see so we will set up a portable cooktop instead. We don't have a specific brand recommendation, but you'll want to look for an induction cooktop that comes with several preset power levels, which adjust the wattage used by the burner. The more power levels, the more control you’ll have over the speed of cooking. You’ll also want to look at the burner size as you compare portable induction cooktops. Most have a minimum and maximum pot size that they can accommodate, so make sure your induction-friendly pans will fit. (Remember: Induction cookware must be made out of a magnetic-based material, such as cast iron or magnetic stainless steel.) Hope that helps! The Milk Street Team

Hi Rochelle - Thanks for your patience on a reply while I checked in with Chris and the radio team. I think it's possible that, at the time, Chris was referring to the flour tortillas from Caramelo in Kansas. They used to only produce flour tortillas, but just announced they will be soon be producing corn tortillas as well. Corn tortillas are a little harder to produce for mail order since they stale so quickly, but it sounds like Caramelo has done some extensive testing and R&D so should be reliable. Hope that helps!

Thanks so much for reaching out! We hope you've been enjoying your Everything Pan. When we originally launched this pan it did not include a lid, but after feedback from both customers and our team, we now have a lid available for purchase. Here is a direct link to order a lid. https://store.177milkstreet.com/products/milk-street-everything-pan-glass-lid Hope this helps! Best, Milk Street

Hi Michael - When it comes to nonstick skillets we don't recommend spending a lot of money on something high-end. This is because, regardless of brand or quality level, the nonstick coating is going to wear off and render the skillet ineffective (and potentially cause chips to release into your food) in about a year if it's used regularly. Instead we recommend one of two options. First, with the right care, a carbon steel or cast iron pan can be nonstick. In this case, if you're really diligent about seasoning and usage, you can have one pan that serves many purposes. If you want something less labor-intensive, we recommend visiting your local discount home furnishings store (for example, TJ Maxx or Home Goods) and looking for a reasonably-priced, heavy-weight nonstick skillet. You can usually find a stainless steel one for less than $50. Best, The Milk Street Team

We love Work Sharp - their basic system is under $100 which is a bargain. Noticed that your comment was from Dec 2022! Assume you have already made a decision by now! There is also a new worksharp system coming out that is $299 - cool but probably way more than most folks want to spend.

Hello Jacob, We see that you wrote a while back inquiring about a list of Milk Street pantry ingredients. Perhaps you have seen our "Cook What You Have" cookbook. It contains a section of "Milk Street Must Haves," which is a list of the top 25 pantry staples. You'll find it in the front matter on pages XXII–XXVII. Best, The Milk Street Team

Hi Joel - I believe Chris is using the All-Clad Cordless Rechargeable Hand Blender. This is an excellent model, though obviously pricey. Here is an article on what to look for in a cordless immersion blender and some other recommendations if you'd like to see more options. Best, The Milk Street Team
