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

I hear that.
I am pretty particular about the plastic wrap I use, and Glad definitely changed something. That stuff can't be moved from point A to point B without it folding in half. And I've been using it for probably 25 years.
Something has changed

I use to get Hefty brand at Big Lots but they're no more. It was thicker so it moved less which made it more functional. I'm tossing around, counter space thing, getting one of those 2000' ft commercial rolls from webstaurantstore.com...

Ah yes... the only place you can find a frypan no one else has for $6 and $25 shipping
But if their plastic wrap works, I might look into it.

Stretch-tite is the only way to go with plastic wrap, IMO. Available at Costco, but I get it from Amazon.

It's unbelievably simple

How?

I don't think I understand.
What method do you use where you can knock out a dozen at a time?

You line a coffee cup (or teacup) with plastic wrap, or whatever we call it these days:
Then you pull the corners of the plastic together and scrunch them up:

Then, you just dump them into some simmering water. This picture is only for two eggs, but if you use a slightly larger pan, you can get a dozen in there, no problem. Just rub a little bit of oil on the plastic before you add the egg; it makes it easier to remove it.

I learned this from a restaurant I once went to. No fancy egg poaching thingies (which will only do 4 at a time) and you only need 1 cup to make 4,6,8,10,12 eggs.

Ah I see! I read the post and thought how on earth do you heat a dozen coffee cups with eggs in them?!

The same way a bartender pours 12 shots out of the same bottle. Only in this case you are pouring hot water.
Line them up side by side, take your tea kettle, and splash some hot water in each cup right on down the line.

I had a bowl of cereal a couple hours ago. Grape Nut Flakes. Love that stuff as is, no added sugar or fruit with it. Just whole milk.
Now I'm enjoying my Bialetti coffee with some half and half.

Is your Bialetti coffee from a moka pot? If so is the pot aluminum or stainless and is the handle bakelite? I've got a Grosche that has a few manufacturing oopses I'll say and am considering an upgrade.

Check on both. The nine-cup size. Which gives me one decent size cup in the morning.

I've been thinking of getting these for a few years now. Would help with gingerbread cookies, sugar cookies or any other roll goods. Maybe an early Christmas gift to myself.

How does that affect it in flight mode?

It's slightly more tricky to steer.
But the advantage is that you can have cookies while flying
