mystes posted:I suspect one reason the Marshalls stores occasionally get legitimately good stuff that isn't garbage specifically produced for them is because companies want to sell off extra stock or seconds without advertising the fact that they're doing so or providing an avenue for normal potential customers to track them down which would cannibalize sales and/or drive down prices. A lot of their stock is the last bits of discontinued items, whether totally discontinued or just revamped. A significant chunk of that is licensed items in sell-off, which is why they often have celebrity-branded stuff from no-longer relevant celebrities. You have to treat shopping there as panning for gold, and have your phone in hand.

Seconding the question from a page or so back about recommended food processors. We have a Kitchenaid one that is a solid 10-15 years old and I have managed to lose the main blade for it, looking around online this this appears to be the only one left in existence and for $40+shipping it's probably worth just getting a new one, especially as the handle on the container is also starting to get a bit wobbly. Looking at the cheaper 7 cup ones, is there anything to go for/avoid? Are the combo blender/food processors worth looking at or no?

I don't recall where I read it, but there was a general axiom that you do not want less then a 10ish cup food processor. If you ever want to use it for dough, the recipe will likely be based on at least that. I imagine the stuff under the hood is not as good too.

A couple years ago I got a Cuisinart 7-cup Pro Classic. It's been great. I definitely use it for pie dough, even double crust, but I haven't tried it for like pizza dough. Googling now, it looks like my specific model has been discontinued, but they make a new equivalent with fancier buttons.

I have a large maple cutting board that I like to keep on the counter. I want something to elevate it so it doesn't ever sit in any water. There are feet that people will screw into boards but I don't want to put any holes in my board. Ideas we've come up with: cork strips or rubber washers. Any ideas?

$2 solution: https://www.acehardware.com/departments/hardware/cabinet-and-furniture-hardware/chair-glides/51723 Edit: you said no holes, but those will be tiny nail holes. Having said that, I've had a maple cutting board on my counter for 20 years, and have never had an issue with it when it gets wet. I mineral oil it maybe once a year.

To conclude food processor chat, I ended up taking out a fourth mortgage and got this: https://www.magimix.co.uk/food-processor/27-137-cs-5200xl.html#/28-colour-red Haven’t even turned it on yet, but it appears skookum as gently caress.

Anyone have any experience with Costco's all-clad rip-off pots? It looks like they're available for $200. But they also have a much lower oven safe temperature rating.

Dissimilar metals that are poorly bonded and/or poorly sized to each other CAN delaminate, warp, and pop at those temperatures. I'd hazard a guess that it's a case of same-factory-after-hours-but-lower-QA so they're just throwing that low temperature out there as a CYA. Reviews of them are littered with people mentioning warpage Because otherwise it looks like it's all metal handles and rivets? That's all I can think of.

As much as I hate to say it because it's expensive but if you have the cash or can save up for them, All-Clad are worth it. The D5s not so much but they are awesome as well. Ninja Edit: What I mean is that the D5s are simply not worth the price difference between them and regular all-clad. If I did it again I would go back and just bought the regular ones. I also would have piecemeal my set rather than getting the big 12 piece set. No one needs a loving all clad stock pot, that's dumb. Younger me was an idiot.

I would say always go for individual pans, big sets are going to just have a load of pans you're not going to use day to do. My essential pans are non-stick milk pan 18cm saucepan 20cm saucepan frying pan (oven safe) That's going to do 90% of stuff, then add in Lidded Saute pan Pressure Cooker ( I have a big pasta pot as well but if I didn't I could always use my pressure cooker with the lid off my saute pan, and have done for some things) Dutch Oven Crepe Pan Jam Pan (if you make jam) You'll acquire loads of kitchen poo poo over the years, just buy a small number of really good pans.

not quite salient, and I don't know if Tramontina still makes them, but I got a boxed set of basic stuff as gift back when department stores were a thing. I've used them daily and run them through the dishwasher and they're still excellent. their Brazilian-made stuff seems to be indestructible

I got mine around the time Serious Eats released that Tramontina vs. All-clad article but it was so long ago and the brand is much larger & more wide-spread now, which often equates to a change in quality for these cheaper brands.

I got one awhile back and don't have any complaints about the quality of waffles it produces, but the fascia covering the body is plastic where it used to be metal, and there's a lot more play/wobble in the flip/rotation mechanism.

Do you have the single or the double waffle model? I bought the single online and thought it was fine, but a bit cheap and flimsy feeling. I handled the two waffle model in a store the other day for the first time and it seems to be much better. Less structural plastic and seems less wobbly overall. Now I have waffle regrets.

Nitrousoxide posted:Is there another similar sort of pot set that you would recommend if this one has a bunch of red flags? I bought the Misen Complete Cookware fully clad set almost two years ago and it has been absolutely fantastic. Literally my only complaint is that some of the skillets are a tad heavy, but that's not really my complaint so much as my wife's. Every piece of the set gets used regularly, so there are no bastard pieces that I paid money to not use. They have a TRYMISEN20 coupon code (through 9/18) that'll knock $85 off the price, too, which is nice. I just checked and the pre-discount price for this set hasn't risen at all since I bought it, so that's good.

Not trying to poo poo on the Cuisinart. Like I said I have no complaints about the quality of waffles it makes. And I sure as poo poo preferred paying like US$75 or whatever for the Cuisinart compared to like US$500 for an old commercial Waring. But the old Warings were built like tanks and the Cuisinart, it feels like a kitchen appliance you'd get for under a hundred bucks from amazon or bed bath or whatever.

Has anyone in here used or owned the Ikea Tillreda portable induction top? We rent an apartment with an absolutely terrible electric cooktop, so I'm thinking about just buying 2 induction tops or a double top to use instead. These are 60 bucks in Australia so seem like a good cheap option that's actually a name brand. I don't mind spending a little more if anyone can recommend any other plug in induction tops though. Thanks all!
