Anyone have any good leads on Etsy seamstresses that sell aprons and cooking jackets? Looking for something fitted with pockets.

Does it have to be on Etsy?

No I just want to buy directly from someone if possible.

I have nothing to compare her work to but here is a friend of mine. She also has an Etsy shop but figured this link actually talks about aprons. Her work seems pretty great to me.

Cool I'll check it out!

I have to agree that it's kinda wild that folks are just buying and rebuying pans that continually break down and get thrown in the garbage.

I have a friend with one and she has to constantly fight it to get a proper seal. I have a no name thing from Costco and it is a little finnicky with the seal but not too annoying and it cost like half the price.

My brother got me a set of these press weights and they're pretty awesome:

Highly recommended if you're in the market for a vented weight for things like steaks and sandwiches.

I just used the light ones to help me toast a burrito on cast iron without absolutely crushing it. And then I used the weights on each side to help me stand it up and get the sides toasty too.

All in all, a fine gift that I use a lot. I also make a lot of toasted burritos and grilled cheese sandwiches and split hot dogs.

Maybe if you have a seven year old your mileage goes further.

Someone (OXO?) used to make a box grater that was a tall skinny pyramid with a big ergonomic rubberized ball grip on top but I can't find it anymore.

That's my next box grater after the handle on my current one tore off.

I have a galley kitchen and I get a lot of mileage out of the fact that we put our dishes and flatware directly across from where the dishwasher opens up. I can unload a typical wash load without moving any steps.

We also have a lot of open shelving instead of cabinets and I like that for visibility and general usage.

This got me curious, so when I was there today I snapped a few pics to investigate later. I also read some articles, which cautioned against buying TVs or toilet paper from Costco, but I didn't evaluate those claims. I was most interested in common things for this thread, plus one thing I'm thinking of buying myself.

Vitamix:
code:
Costco E320			Vitamix's official store E310
$320				$310
64 oz				48 oz
Includes smoothie cup		Nope
Wider container			Narrower
2.2 HP				2.0 HP (though HP in blenders doesn't really matter when blade length is so different)
Reviews mention needs
more tamping than
narrower E310
So better deal for your money, bigger capacity but that could be a negative if you do small batches, the smoothie cup can help with that.

Instant Pot:Same model name, same listed features, same price. Can't guarantee it's the same SKU, but if you want to dig Costco's is 112-0125-01

Kitchenaid, which is what OP asked about : Only feature difference is Costco $350 KP26M9PC is 590W vs Amazon's $800 KP26M1XER (lol) 575W, which I'm sure is a negligible difference. One comment was a 2nd hand report of Costco's bowl sitting a bit too low for the scraper to reach bottom, but the lift mechanism is adjustable with a flat-blade screwdriver so actually not an issue. Probably more important for lots of people: Costco seems to only come in red and silver

DJI Mini 2 Drone, which I'm seriously considering as a birthday gift to myself: Costco CP.MA.00000367.01 vs. DJI store bare or kit I think CP.MA.00000306.01
code:
Costco				DJI store bare			DJI Kit				a la carte
$440				$450				$600
2 batteries			1 battery			3 batteries			$55 each (official)
1x spare props			1x spare props			3x spare propellers 		$12 each pair (official. Cheaper for knockoffs)
ok quality case			no case				nice leather case		$39 nice leather case
32 gb micro sd			no card				no card				$cheap
Seems like for everything I'm checking, Costco comes out ahead, without dumbed down features, with the bonus of Costco's amazing return policy in case you do decide it stinks. I wouldn't buy any big ticket item there without checking to make sure that item isn't one of the ones that gets watered down, but the above seem like no brainers to me. Unless you prefer Kitchenaids with tilt-heads or different colors, or want a Vitamix with the program settings.

Seems like it. Sorry for spergin, I'm the type that has a photo album on my phone of random prices from different stores so I can price compare later.

Heck yeah this post owns. Keep doing it.

I have a dual fuel oven (gas stovetop) and I really like it for how low it can go in temp and for the convection roast setting.

Also when I had a gas leak and the city turned off and LOTTO'd my gas line, I could still cook in the oven so that was a nice save.

I use my wok exclusively outside on my charcoal bbq. I got a cast iron grill insert for it that has a removable circle in the middle so I can get the wok right next to the heat. It rules.

You're not supposed to get nonstick pans super hot I thought?

Wok cooking is all about high heat and the tossing motion that lets you coat the ingredients in aerosolized oil.
