We bought a beautiful large set of pans that has made us happy.
We are currently seeking a new washing machine.

Fun and I'm happy I started it. There have been so many great ideas

What kind of pots and pans? I'm looking into the ceramic ones

Do you mean the ones that are metal on the outside and ceramic on the inside? If so, I can give you some feedback because we love ours. I think they are CuisineArt. Anyway, they cook very evenly and they clean up really easily. Just be sure you use bamboo (or something like that) utensils, never metal, to stir or serve from them. That's all we've used and we've had our set for five years and they look like new.

Thanks. I know some of the new ones have silicone handles and can be out into the oven. That would be nice for at least one pan for frittatas

I believe Mr Gun may be referring to my favorite type of can opener, the "safety" variety. There are models made by many manufacturers -- I've shown the Zyliss version below. Highly recommend.

I've had mine about 5 years. It works fine.




A couple of months ago I bought two gravity chairs for outside. I was a little skeptical because they were only $59.99 for both but they are nice chairs and work well. Very comfortable.

Also two inexpensive but surprisingly warm blankets. If you just need an extra or a kids blanket I recommend this one.

I purchased a cast iron wok to add to my frying pans.

Cast iron isn’t for everybody, but I love mine. It is easy to cook on, great for browning things, easy to clean. It is heavy, and you do have to clean it promptly and dry it thoroughly, but that only takes a few minutes.

It doesn’t visibly stain like stainless steel, and is much less sticky. It isn’t as slick as Teflon, but it doesn’t shred like Teflon does either. I can use any type of utensil on it. They ar3 great for mak8ng things like frittata, as they can go directly 8nto the oven.

great thread.
Really thinking about those wall receptacles with the USB port.
From my reading, post 121 shows them at costco for a 4 pack (39.99) and karana's posts has them on amazon 2 pack for 19.99.

Keep em coming!

We bought German stainless steel. I think on amazon. They look lovely. But we really need a better washing machine.
