Spanish food dishes can take a long time to prepare -- which is why you'll find a pressure cooker in nearly every Spanish kitchen. You should have one too, as it lets you cook in a fraction of the ordinary time. As long as you take care not to let the steam build up too much, they're quite safe.
A kitchen well stocked for cooking Spanish food will include the following items: a colander, ceramic pots for cooking casseroles, a garlic press, an espresso machine for coffee, an olive oil can, a mortar and pestle for crushing herbs and spices, and ramekins for flan.
