  • - Strainer (useful for straining hominy before using it in recipes)

  • - Dutch Oven Cover (helps in maintaining moisture while cooking chicken slowly)

  • - Large Pot (for boiling and preparing polenta, if not pre-made)

  • - Roasting Pan (can be used to roast vegetables or chicken in the oven)
