The Walrus posted:whats the deal with the kitchenaid pro 600 that's not a pro 600 at costco? is it all metal insides like the real pro? I heard from a friend in the restaurant industry that none of the new KitchenAid mixer have metal gear anymore. They are all nylon, including the pro series. They specifically say you cant use them to make bread anymore. Not sure how true it is, but a mutual friend of ours broke his pro model making bread, found only nylon gears inside, and KitchenAid would not honor the warranty because he was making bread, ymmv

A Pack of Kobolds posted:I just had to replace the worm gear in my pro model after ten years of use, including frequently making bread with it. The worm gear is the only nylon one, and it's nylon because it's a sacrificial part. It's designed to fail so you won't damage the motor and/or end up with metal shavings fouling up the inside of the gear box. You can absolutely make bread with it, but the mixer's instructions specifically say not to go over speed level 2 when using the dough hook. A lot of people ignore that and wear their poo poo out prematurely and get mad about it. From my friend's experience, all the gears were nylon, and it specifically said to not make bread in the instructions. His argument when he tried to get it fixed under warranty was why would they give him a bread hook if he wasn't supposed to make bread with it. They told him it was for loose doughs only. This was about 5 years ago, so you must have one of the older good ones like I have.

A Pack of Kobolds posted:I bought mine in 2009. I think your friend broke his mixer and made up a bunch of poo poo to save face. So you're saying what I'm saying, that they changed the internals to save money since you or I have purchased one of their mixers. My friend does not have to save face, especially since he was using a mixer for mixer things. I don't know why it's so hard for you to imagine that a capitalistic company would cut corners to increase profits. Maybe you have stocks in KitchenAid.

.Z. posted:Your friend might be mixing up their ‘Pro Line’ with the Professional or Pro 6 series, which are plastic gears. I didn't know they made another line above the pro series, but it's the pro series I'm referring to. I had a pro series with metal gears that I got 10 years ago, lost in divorce unfortunately. My friend bought the same exact model 4 years later and it had plastic gears.

poisonpill posted:What’s the difference between the USDA Prime and Choice beef? And what cuts are the disciples buying these days? Tenderloin, New York? Looking to buy less meat (for the dumb environment), but better quality when we do get it. USDA prime is higher quality than choice. It goes prime, choice, select, utility, and water blasted beef carcass, which is what they use at Taco Bell. I just picked up a prime brisket and chuck today at church.

I would hope they would know what you were talking about. Maybe look it up on their website to get an item number just in case you get a seasonal dunce on the phone.

My local Costco was out yesterday. I just ordered some non Kirkland toilet paper online through their website. People are being dumb again.

ArbitraryC posted:This is all absolutely terrible advice if you’re trying to shop on a budget. Costco stuff is in bulk but it’s also usually more expensive per pound than the same at of a decent grocery store even when sold in smaller portions. This is not true, at least not in my area. Everything that Fred Meyer (Kroger) or Walmart carries that Costco also carries is always cheaper at Costco, by unit. Safeway is the most expensive of everyone. Costco just doesn't have the selection that regular grocery stores have.

ArbitraryC posted:Safeway and Fred Meyer and such is a poor comparison because those sorts of stores are basically only good to shop at on weekly fliers. You can easily get chicken at Safeway for 50% less than Costco on their coupon price but you gotta check out the weekly sales ad for that which I understand some people don’t wanna waste the time on doing. No Aldi here, and WinCo is much cheaper on some things, but I'm not talking about comparing trash tier to what you can buy at Costco. I'm taking about buying equal quality goods. What I buy at Costco that they carry at WinCo is the same or ever so slightly cheaper at Costco. WinCo's hot sauce selection is awesome, and they beat everyone else's price on hot sauce. Unfortunately, it's worth the little extra money to not set foot in the WinCo in my city because the people there are rude as gently caress. It's like an entitled Walmart, but I still go for hot sauce a couple of times a year.

A GIANT PARSNIP posted:In America they just tell you that you ruined the carpet, pocket your money, and leave the same old carpet in the place so they can do it again to the next tenant. It may be a state to state thing, or even more local than that, but I could have sworn that if you live in a place for over a year they could not charge you for replacing carpet or painting. Maybe it was just painting. I never plan on getting a security deposit back ever anyway because they look for any reason to gently caress you.

fischtick posted:Probably a regional thing, but in the PNW Costco is selling lil landjaegers by Bavarian Meats (out of Seattle). They’re short, stout little dried sausages. Subtle flavor, but delicious. I’d love it if they had a spicier version. Bavarian Meats is the poo poo! If anyone has the chance to eat the "Smokin' Hot Cheese," eat it. It might be one of the best things I have ever eaten on the planet.

number 1 snake fan posted:It does when they stand in front of their gas tank the entire time they fill up so they're standing in the passing lane. Then they give you the White Look™ when you pull into the center and they won't move This is what happens at my Costco, with the big rear end truck, also parked hosed up and 3 feet from the pump. I patiently wait to get gas at a pump that is on the same side as my gas hole to lead by example.
