What’s the next kitchen item you plan to buy (2025)?

I bought an all clad one of those and I hated it. The handle was too long and heavy so it would tip over and spill everything out onto the stove or wherever it was. I finally threw it away. Hope you have better luck than I did.

I''m going to hazard a guess that if you keep the pan full enough it will balance out the handle weight. Fingers crossed it works out well for you.

msmofet I can't remember if you have a gas stove or electric? Rocklobster, you have gas? I know that a lot of my small saucepans on my gas stove grates are a bit wobbly from time to time, but larger bottom saute pans are fine.
 
I’ve got to buy a new large salad spinner - I was negotiating mine out of cupboard and dropped it, and it broke the top.

It still works, but not quite the way it should.

Gas but all my other small pans are fine and have never tipped over. Not even my small one quart size.

I've never had one flip over, but the small ones do get a little imbalanced on my right front burner, which is my favorite burner to use.

Edited to ask: is your saucier pan a small one, then? Not a large one like I think Rocklobster bought?
 
These planned and bought in the one day I was at home as a treat before the next stint away.
Very pleased with them ‘Galaxy enamel’

I wish I had the strength to unsubscribe from the ‘Sous Chef’ website but I don’t, it’s my catnip 😂

Very pretty and I almost want one - but I don't think they would be any use to me for food photography: too busy...

I use a standard white enamel oven dish quite often.

I think it very much depends on what’s in them.
The contrast with pale potato salad looks good. The pale tray baked asparagus orzo I made also looked lovely as did the roasted gnocchi.
They suit things where a predominantly white/paler food on a white dish is a bit too much.
The strong contrast of the dark speckle seems to make it pop and look more appealing 🤷‍♀️

I think I can imagine what you mean. Sometimes, though, things look good in real life but don't photograph well. I would have to try them out...

I notice you use a black staub for one of your courgette dishes and that contrast looks fabulous.
