Henckels knives, Le Creuset Dutch oven and cast iron fry pan, and a stockpot for crabs and lobsters. The upper cabinets between the kitchen and dining area have glass inserts where you can readily access the Apilco French porcelain “Tradition” dinnerware plus a full complement of glassware (red wine, white wine, short (old fashioned), martini and tall (iced tea/soda/beer) glasses, champagne flutes, and juice tumblers) on the shelves.
