*nod* At some point in the near future I am going to get a crock pot. After years of the whole "ugh, me bachelor. me eat microwave food and takeout." thing, I'm finally cooking for real. (For a given value of real, of course. I mean, these steaks were cooked on a George Foreman grill.)
Nothin' wrong with an indoor grill. I use a broiler in my oven for steak, basically the same thing. I don't have a covered patio so when it's raining, which is like, always, I couldn't use a real grill anyway.
*nod* I'm pretty sure getting a wok is next on my list of kitchen accouterments... actually, strike that, I want to get a decent knife block. I used to have one, and I have no idea what the fuck happened to it.
Ok... on the list of things you should get, if you don't already have them.
1) A cast iron skillet. At least 10 inches. Season it properly and keep it clean and dry. 2) Cutting boards. If you do a ton of cooking your are going to have 4 or 5, but for regular cooking, two will suffice. 3) A decent set of knives and a knife block (for organization, if nothing else). 4) A decent saute pan. At least 8 inches.
Got three cutting boards (one hard plastic, two wood), and a skillet (non-stick, but not cast iron). And like I said, probably getting a knife block next.
Fruits and vegetables. Maybe have one for fruits and one for vegetables, but that's maybe going a little far.
Plastic:
Fish Shellfish - just in case of allergy of guests Poultry Meat, with maybe a second for pork if you are really particular.
Now, as long as you properly clean and disinfect them, you should not have anything to worry about. Another important thing, especially for meats, it to not put cooked meat on something you used for raw meat. At least not without disinfecting first. So, if you used a cutting board to trim the fat off of a steak, grill it and then want to slice it up for fajitas or something, you will probably want two cutting boards (or be really good about cleaning it during the cook time of the steak).

There is no cooking easier in the world. (Microwave isn't cooking.)
Plus your whole place gets to smell good during the 7-8 hour cooking time of whatever you threw in there.

Don't own a wok. Not sure why. Just don't crave stir fry very often I s'pose.
