It could be straightforward, but it may be deceptive. I'm not looking it up. That's why I come here.

I wouldn't touch the Mail with a barge pole, but one should never underestimate the value of comfortable trousers.
Linen ftw.

Comfortable trousers below a sensible jumper and I think you'll find you're sorted for life.
What does a fucking bath pillow do. Is it for your arse? Neck? Head? Balls? What?

The fuck is a bath pillow. Exactly what it says - a pillow for resting one's head upon while soaking in the bath. |

Don't use washing liquids in them Rinse and wipe and scrape Sometimes you need to season them by frying coarse salt, and potato peels in oil youtu.be/-suTmUX4VbkIt's all rather simple. Final bit it's too make sure it's hot before you put something in. Thank you, I'll watch the video and see if my ADHD self could cope with that! I didn't even know something like this could be a thing. I definitely need to take a look at getting one, I'm not much of a cook, but I'm always very worried I'll get cancer all over me from all those teflon pans. |

Most new pans don't have the worst of those cancer-causing chemicals in anymore. Not Teflon and the big makes anyway. Your Tesco value pan might have them in. |

Enameled cast iron (Le Creuset etc) is another option if you can afford it. No teflon, no seasoning required, nigh on indestructible and you don't need to worry about acidic meals burning off the seasoning and tasting weird.

Get yourself some cheap (to start) diamond stones and sharpen your knives. Easier to learn than it seems when you first start and having crazy sharp knives makes food prep a joy. No idea about that sort of thing. What should I be looking at? The cheapest route is a combination 400 / 1000 grit whetstone at about twenty quid. That’ll get you going but they need soaking and are messy. For a little more a 400 and a 1000 grit diamond plate will get your knives very sharp. 400 for repairing nicks and chips or if the blade is very dull and the 1000 for maintenance. You can use an old leather belt as a strop to remove the burr. Well worth the effort IMO - even a shit knife will last decades if you sharpen it. |

Our ceramic pan is treated like garbage but still cleans up like new every time. You can scour those no problem as well. Haven't had to do anything with it and we've had it over 5 years.

Enameled cast iron is more for making saucy things where you can get the fond off the bottom of the pan with a bit of liquid. Not really suitable for frying an egg, steaks or making an omelette etc.
If you're looking for a non stick frying pan replacement it should be cast iron or carbon steel really. Carbon steel would always be my preference out of the two.
Just be aware that they're not always the best fit for saucy stuff (especially anything acidic like tomatoes)
And yeah, a nice enameled le creuset casserole dish is my next purchase.

Not had any problems with steaks or eggs in mine, although I don't dry cook those, always have some type of fat there. But yeah, agreed in general. It's best to just have a range of different kinds. The Le Creuset dutch oven gets used most in our collection.

I have a Big Significant Birthday coming up just after Christmas and I'm facing a similar problem as the OP. All the big exciting things - mainly a new TV and Xbox - I got last year. So other than "pricey stuff that's not really that exciting but I really want it anyway" - like the SSD expansion for the Series X - I'm kinda drawing a blank.
EDIT: realised this was very, VERY first-world-problem and a bit whiney so I've deleted it! Made me sound a lot more grumpy than I genuinely feel! I guess if we're all old but content then that's no bad thing, let's just drink whiskey and play Halo.

If it helps, looking at this thread you need to ask for pans, knives, trousers and a bath pillow.

A good pair of walking boots. Just gives you the impetus to go out for a walk more often. The literally take no shit and will overcome any terrain. You kinda get that satisfying feel putting them on and taking them off too.

Bath pillow? Listen to yourself man. What next, comfortable trousers Mail ordered form the Sunday supplement? I'm not sure that's a valid criticism given the general content of the thread which seems to largely based on kitchen implements, what next? A walking stick, perhaps one of those walking sticks that doubles up as a seat? Or maybe some bunion plasters? |
