I got a hand crank food processor that's pretty good and wasn't expensive.

oh yeah i forgot, ofc i use the microplane for zesting. i’m a big fan of my breville sous chef fp. we went with it because it has a nice sealed bowl. plus the adjustable slicing disc (vs some silly slider on the kitchenaid) is frankly great. it’s also a bunch of metal so it is built like a tank. i can’t answer as to the dough stuff because i never use a fp for dough

I think McGee wrote about the benefits of making pizza dough in the food processor. Something about bringing it together more quickly results in less oxidation of the flour which is beneficial for some reason. I think. It’s been a while.

I know food processor is amazing for pie dough (that's all I use my FP for tbh), not sure about pizza dough.

i grate butter and keep it in the freezer for super quick pie and biscuit doughs. there’s really little advantage to machining it for me. in re stand mixers imo honestly any of the name brands big and small are pretty much all fine these days with the differences being smaller than the similarities

Someone recommended the Bosch universal here for bread before, but their us company makes a 'baby bosch' called the nutrimill artiste. It has been making bread for me for a while and works great. Sometimes the dough wants to wrap around the center post if it's too wet but it can always be scraped off

I finally got my kitchen kind of organized and I'm pretty happy. I switched to stainless at the beginning of this year and I love and use them pretty much daily. I just need a 10" and I think I'll be set for a long time  (not pictured: 8")  I rent and have a lovely ten year old coil stove and the pans heat up evenly and really quickly. They're also half the weight of the non-sticks

Nice setup. Is that a pan specific pegboard or a normal hardware product?

Thank you It's a Wall Control pegboard. Wirecutter recommended it for kitchen organization and it's awesome. I am a fan of the Metallic Silver for sure; I can't comment on the longevity of the painted finishes and the galvanized looks too garage-y from the pictures I've seen

protip, buy your wall control pegboard from their outlet store: https://cheappegboard.com/ supposedly it's the "blemished" products but i didnt see any blemishes in the sets that i bought. and for whoever was asking about box graters, serious eats did a review the other day: https://www.seriouseats.com/2021/03/best-box-grater.html

For what it's worth, I have the Cuisipro grater and only like two of the four sides. The large holes and slicer work very well, but I find the medium and small sides to be almost useless. When I grate garlic with my small Microplane, it cuts through the clove quickly and aggressively while still producing a fine grated paste. When I grate garlic on the small hole of the Cuisipro, I get a small amount of garlic juice inside and crushed garlic flesh outside after three times as long. I also can't get parmesan to grate satisfactorily on either the small or medium sides. Maybe this is a Me problem, but I doubt it. That said, the large holes are great, and if that's what you primarily use a grater for I can recommend it fully.

OK, wife has narrowed it down to two ranges to choose between, and it's literally form vs. function. Kitchenaid? Or Hallman? https://www.homedepot.com/p/Kitchen...00ESS/205888473 https://www.homedepot.com/p/Hallman...0BSMG/304183043 Kitchen-Aid = huge cooking space (7.1 cu ft), lots of racks, extended slides, warming drawer, but it has that panel on top that cuts into burner space and really makes me fearspills and peeling (think older microwave buttons). Hallman- smaller space, no gizmos, but it's on legs so I can sweep under it and oh my god is it beautiful

This is one of those times in a reno where you feign having a strong opinion in the opposite direction from what your partner is into so you can gracefully concede and use those brownie points to make sure you can get the fridge that you really want or whatever. I think the Hallman looks better also and I think it'd attract home purchasers more when that time comes.

GD_American posted:OK, wife has narrowed it down to two ranges to choose between, and it's literally form vs. function. tbh i wouldn't get either because i'm over gas BUT at this point in life i'd go with the hallman tbh. i don't think you'll ever really complain about buying something that looks that nice vs the KA. also, in the worst-case scenario you can always buy a decent accessory oven at some point if you really need to cook two things at once (which imo is the only major requirement of having an oven that size since you can probably still do two trays of cookies in the hallman, say).

IIRC from my kitchen reno, KitchenAid stoves have a problem with cooking the controller board because of how close it is to the heat.

On the other hand, we seem to spend 20 years adding brass to houses and then 30 years removing it before the cycle starts over, so I would not personally choose brass fixtures. (This is not an argument that can be won. It is an aesthetic choice and I get that.)

The counters are blue granite with gold streaks in it (Brazilian Bahia). The fixtures remaining from before we started tearing up the kitchen were oil-rubbed bronze (not sure if we're staying that direction); Hallman offers bronze (or chrome) as an option for the dials/bars, but they don't look as nice as the brass. We're not sure which way to go with drawer/door knobs/pulls/etc.

Need a recommendation for nice looking (but functional) stainless cookware. It's going to be hanging in my kitchen and appearances are important (once we can have guests over again). I'm sick of looking at my mismatched TJ Maxx garbage hanging there. Probably need a couple sauce pans, 8", 10" and 12" frying pans. I already have a couple nice big stock pots and both flat and ridged cast iron skillets. Budget is ~$1k but I could stretch higher if it was the difference between something I like and something I love.

Thanks. Is the copper core stuff just a dumb gimmick? I like the way they look but I'm not sure if I "literally double the price" like them.

Also, are the Amazon listings the same product/parts or are they worse quality somehow? Because they're WAAAY cheaper (and a lot of stuff is out of stock on the all clad website)

Dunno the answer to your copper core question, I vaguely remember hearing it's not worth it but I can no longer find the source.

Screw it, they look cool and they're within my budget on Amazon for more pans than I'll probably ever need. Here's my list in case I'm forgetting something obvious that I should add:   (that last one is on there because it's dirt cheap and I will definitely burn a lot of eggs on it)

Amazon will accept stock from different vendors, some of which could be counterfeit, then stores all the stock together if it has the same SKU. So in some situations even amazon couldn't tell you if they sent you a genuine product or a counterfeit. For some things this doesn't matter. Just don't buy circuit breakers from there. I'm not saying don't buy off amazon ever, just that this is part of what you need to be aware of as a consumer

I imagine I'd be able to tell pretty easily if the pans I get aren't the real mccoy though, right? They're really good about returns.
