Good Kitchen Tools, Gadgets, White Goods etc…..

Ah, yeah I have an All-Clad that looks just like that, but I think it's stainless. That does sound interesting, as I love seasoning cast iron and the properties that imparts.
That said, I'm not sure steel is any more natural than ceramic, they are both man-made, industrial materials.
-
With more Natural I meant in comparisson to PTFE/Teflon Coated pans and not ceramic, I´d say at least from what I see at my friends homes PTFE/Teflon coated pans are basiclly what everyone uses these days because its convinient and cheap.
The modern ceramic coated pans are indeed quite nice, i owned one once but I like the rustic Steel Pans more because they literally can take serious beating, any sort of Metall Tools are no problem, the cleaning process is really straight forward and they last basicly forever if used and cared for correctly.A plus for me is that de buyer products are made in france since 1850 which i think is something that should be preserverd especially of the product is that good.

We have gone mostly cast iron seasoned with flax seed oil. I still use butter for flavor and non stick, but metal spatulas get used all the time with no damage. Here is a link to how we seasoned. I’m sure there are lots of ways to accomplish the same thing though.

Essential in my house
Moccamaster Cup One.
Heats the water to the ideal temperature for coffee, and makes one cup at a time. I'm the only coffee drinker in my house and I generally only drink one cup a day, so this works out great for me. Replaced my French Press that I swore by for two decades.
Internals are handmade or something (I don't really care), so it's not cheap.

We have had our Vitamix for years. Still going strong
-
I've had the vitamix pro 750 for six years. With the separate "dry grains" container, I have all the bases covered. Their new smart system line is impressive too, but I prefer the classic blenders.
-
I just checked. Ours is the 6300.
-
Another [emoji106] for Vitamix. We have the Pro Series 200 and it’s been dependable, easy to operate, and easy to clean.
One of my favorite gadgets is my Baratza Encore coffee grinder
Lastly, I just bought this garlic crusher yesterday but it’s supposed to be great for making garlic pastes. It’s also gorgeous IMO…

Our appliance guy talks crap about Samsung appliances a lot. I always thought they had a good rep?

Since I love cooking, I'm very picky about my kitchen gadgets. I even don't let my family buy something as a gift for me
I have three favourite gadgets: a coffee machine (because I can't start my day without a good cup of coffee), kitchenaid mixer (it helps a lot, especially with baking) and the most favourite is a meat grinder, which I've recently bought and it was a fight to get it. I saw this meat grinder in the store and thought that I definitely need it. But the problem is that everything was closed because of the COVID and I didn't know the mark of the grinder. I tried to find it by its description, searched articles about grinders, watched video reviews on youtube, but nothing worked. So it took me two weeks (!) to find it in the Internet. Actually it wasn't me, it was my friend who found it in this amaizing article I was so happy to order it, but because everything was closed, there were some problems with a shipping and my order got lost. So I hade to cancel that order and get a new one. So it took me two months to get this meat grinder, but did it!
