Hey all!! Part 3 of Pots and Pans you should have in your kitchen features some pots and saucepans. There are basically 4 types of different pots and saucepans you need. All of different sizes and shapes and for different purposes for your cooking.

You should know that any pots and saucepans should be non-reactive i.e. stainless steel and anodized aluminum are often the best. Your kitchen should contain the following pots and saucepans:
Yi': 3- to 4-quart saucepan -A squat pan with a long handle. The 3- or 4-quart size is perfect for most single people: it lets you boil pasta, cook rice, simmer soup, steam vegetables, and reheat foods, among many other tasks. Families or individuals who cook frequently for guests should own several saucepans, both larger and smaller than 3 quarts. Choose models that have lids and ovenproof handles.
E'r: 8- to 12-quart stockpot -Also called a saucepot or soup pot, a tall, high-volume pot used to make stocks or extra-large batches of soup or pasta. Make sure the model you choose comes with a lid. If you’ll be making pasta frequently, consider purchasing a stockpot with a built-in strainer.
San: 6- to 8-quart Dutch oven -A short, round or oval pot that can be used both on the stovetop and in the oven. Dutch ovens are generally made of cast iron or enameled cast iron. They’re heavy, sturdy pots that last for decades if properly maintained (read the manufacturer’s instructions carefully before using) and are great for many cooking methods: sautéing, deep-frying, braising, stewing, and even baking.
Se: Roasting pan -
Se: Roasting pan - An essential tool for roasting chicken, turkey, or other large cuts of meat. Roasting pans come in a variety of sizes. Select the largest pan that will fit in your oven and make sure it has sturdy, fixed handles. If the pan doesn’t come with a roasting rack for holding poultry or roasts, buy one that fits snugly in the pan.
I think it's common that you all would have the first 2 which is the little saucepan and the huge soup pot. As for the latter, the Dutch Oven would most probably more often found in Westerner's Kitchens as well as the Roasting Pan. However, if you could get them and store it in your kitchen, it will be better because you might not know when you might need them!
