The Professor

If you skimp on pots and pans it's the same as skimping on knives.  You get what pay for.  I have found, as long as you don't have to have a matching set, that Marshall's and Ross have great deals on fancy cookware.  All-Clad, Cuisinart, etc are much, much better but too pricey for me at BB&B.  I have a Calphalon non-stick that has actually lasted almost 10 years and it still works great with no flaking.  Unheard of for the cheap ones.  

Good post and I agree.  You totally get what you pay for and I have an old Calphalon too.

I like mixed and matched pans and all clad is certainly superior.  The nickel chromium mix (18/10) and the ply of the pan is essential.

They feel more affordable if you buy one at a time and collect a good set.

my son in law dumps A-1 over steaks....he needs excommunicated or exorcised

 

I now serve him boneless chicken breasts

Yeah my wife uses A-1.  I'm going to reach down her pants and check around when I get home.  Tell her, "ZOONY SENT ME!"

I'll give you 2. Hard to top that

GS really wasnt much better, going up against a clown show in Houston and a Portland team that had no business getting out if the 1st rd.

Really not getti g the East bashing that people are doing. The West had the worst total playoff bracket in years, outside of 2-3 teams.

Amen.

The East had more Top 10 teams (RPI wise) than the West this year. 

Pimp sauce... that's not the one I'm talking about.  That one isn't ceramic-lined.

Again... when you're new, you need to read more and post less.

That's the post of the day.

 

1) I asked for the pan.

 

2) It's not 20.00

 

3) Go home, you're drunk

 

Would you like me to link you to a post where the Copper Chef is 20 bucks?

Oh that's right..you never indicated that she got you the super duper extra expensive Crapper Chef.

How many's pots have you smoken?

It's installments of 20 bucks.

 

It's 74.99 if you get it from the spot.

 

But you've been a details guy since you've been here, so...

So your wife go ripped off on a piece of crap pan and you're getting all huffy with me?

There are a lot of junk products on info-mercials. But they're not ALL bad. I was and still am a big fan of the old RonCo rotisserie ovens. I've had some amazing food come out of those.

 

I also was gifted a set of those pullstring veggie choppers. I really like them for quick and easy dicing.

I'll agree with some of those choppers...not the Vince slap chop...I don't love his nuts but some are pretty decent.

RonCo was really hit or miss.  I have some redneck family members, without means for an oven, and they went all in on RonCo.  Quite a few were pieces of crap.

This is the best thing to ever come out of an infomercial.

I think you ought to check on how much it is before you start dropping science on folks, friend.

20 bucks

As seen on TV

Yeah, I guess nothing good ever came out of an infomercial.

 

Have you ever used it?

No and your sarcasm isn't far off.  99% of infomercial products are cheap ways to make a buck.

Is this not common knowledge?

Especially when a good copper pan is 70 plus dollars or in sets for hundreds.

Is it still in the box?  Can you return it?

Has anyone used the "Copper Chef" cookware?

 

My wife bought me a couple for father's day and gave it to me early.  I plan on using it this weekend for something.

 

I'm normally a smoker/cast iron skillet guy, but these are intriguing. 

LOL you mean that infommercial garbage?

Spring season, lots of rain, I see a good opportunity to work on my lawn now.  Here's the problem-  last summer was brutally dry, so much of my grass in the dryer areas was taken over by small weeds (mostly chickweed).  I've done the spring anti-weed fertilizer treatment, and i've also sprayed the lawn with the anti weed stuff.

 

My goal here is to replace some of these areas with actual grass.  I've done a decent job in my front fixing the patches.  Back is different.  The weeds are done, but if I don't get grass there I feel like in a month they'll be back.  Is sod really the best option here?  I've tried just about everything (ez-seed, top soil with fertizler and grass seed, etc.).  Soil in my area generally sucks (it's actually just sod on top of clay).  Thoughts?

No, don't waste your money on sod.

It's going to be next to impossible to fix your yard situation this spring, into the hot summer.

Don't spend your money or time on seed, weed and feed, etc.  Cut it and wait for the Fall.

In the fall, lime and aerate your yard and go to a Southern States and get some quality seed.

How many square feet is your yard?
