Mikasa has been in the business of setting beautiful tables since 1948. Best known for their fashionable designs, Mikasa dishes are also well made and reasonably priced. The Invitation platinum pattern is a study in clean, contemporary lines. Made of fine white china, the 1-1/2-cup sugar bowl is distinguished by a brushed platinum band around its rim. The band is broken by two cutout white spaces with polished platinum cutouts in negative image. Finer eggshell white bands emanate from the platinum band down to the base of the bowl like sound waves. The balance of light and shadow is perfected by polished platinum accents around the rim of the lid and on its handle. Reminiscent of 1940s art deco designs, this china feels wonderfully sophisticated. It will make you want to entertain. For best preservation of the platinum detail, hand washing is recommended. --Erin Brown 
Choosing Appliance -> Cutting boards There seems to be little difference between hard wood and plastic cutting boards from a safety standpoint, as long as they are properly washed and sanitized after each use. Personally, I like the feel of solid wood. One piece of advice--buy large cutting boards. Don't bother with these tiny boards that everyone seems to have in his or her kitchen. They are not user friendly. Once you get down to serious cutting or chopping, the small boards are always woefully inadequate and downright maddening! Choosing Appliance -> Cooking Pans This is another area where spending money is justified. The best pans combine different metals like aluminum or copper on the outside and stainless steel on the inside. Aluminum and copper are valued for their ability to spread heat evenly over the entire pan, and stainless steel is valued for its non-reactive qualities. Buy pans which are heavy and thick with solid handles that are well fastened to the pot. As with knives, buy the highest quality cooking pans you can afford one at a time, starting with a saute pan and a 3 qt. sauce pan. They will last forever. At some point, a stock pot (which will be especially pricey) should be considered for serious cooking. Mikasa Invitation Platinum Fine China Covered Sugar Bowl
