After being a cookware buyer for several different department stores and later a sales manager for one of the big international cookware manufacturers, I can tell you that purchasing cheap cookware is the problem. Invest in the best and it will last forever.
Lodge or LeCreuset. The latter has an outlet on I-95 less than an hour from us. It has a heavy stainless steel handle with thick rivets through the pan. And it's made in SC.
#1: Yes!!!! Spin the livin' shit out of one wheel so the spider gears shred and weld themselves to the cross-pin. All that shrapnel and grindings will make for a wonderful transmission overhaul. Money! Money! Money! #7: Forklift certified. #9: In Canada, we have a couple manufacturers of nicer cookware - both offer steel handles with heavy rivets. The cheapest stuff (when on sale for 50% off) still runs over $600 for a basic set. I have had my Cusinart stuff for years.
I spent 20 years as a Teamster Carhauler. I only saw 2 guys drive off the head ramp. One guy did it in a Pontiac Fiero. That just fell straight down and stood on the rear bumper. Other guy did it with a Chevy S-10 blazer. He made it all the way down on all four wheels. Then he drove back around and put it up there again and delivered it.
Never buy a skillet with a riveted handle.
ReplyDeleteWhat's better? Unless it's a one-piece cast iron, you don't have much choice. All of the best cookware uses them...

Fenix cast iron. Looks great, works great.

ReplyDeleteBetter yet, get a cast iron skillet.

ReplyDeleteI still use the cast iron pan from my mother… close to 90 years old
ReplyDeleteThat's a whole bunch of bad shit happening there.
ReplyDelete#4 in common parlance is known as the face plant. And she's not even blonde.
ReplyDeletePerhaps a bathrobe is not optimal for gardening
DeleteBathrobe? Gardening?
DeleteDamn - she hit so hard her breasts erupted past her shoulder bladeson her back. Meantime, the dog just smirked and said she didn't do that right.
Delete#2 - those two guys should have put a beatdown on the scooter operator.

ReplyDeleteJust how klutzy and uncoordinated does one have to be not to be able to jump over that?
