Equipment

  • - Nonstick Frying Pan/Skillet: Ideal for sautéing vegetables due to its non-stick surface, ensuring easy food release and cleanup.

  • - Chef's Knife: A versatile tool with an ergonomic handle perfect for precise chopping of peas and other ingredients.

  • - Cutting Board: Sturdy and easy-to-clean, suitable for slicing vegetables without damaging the knife's edge.

  • - Mixing Bowls (2): Useful for combining ingredients; multiple sizes can be beneficial depending on recipe needs.

  • - Measuring Cups/Spoons Set: Essential for accurately measuring dry and liquid ingredients, ensuring the frittata turns out as intended.

  • - Silicone Spatula: A flexible tool ideal for folding eggs in a frittata without sticking or scratching nonstick surfaces.

  • - Colander: Useful for rinsing peas and other vegetables; ensures no grit goes into the frittata.
