What’s the next kitchen item you plan to buy (2026)?

I got one of those precission scales
Just for weighing out nitrite when making sausages... Not for SandwichShortOfAPicnic 's future business

There’s a surprising number of recipes that require accurate measurement of a tiny amount of an ingredient isn’t there!

 

[badjak]

Yeah, I don't use it that often though.
My "normal" kitchen scale gets much more use

 

[SandwichShortOfAPicnic]

Same.
But when I need to measure that tiny amount and know it’s correct it’s well worth the spend.

The tiny up to 50 gram scale has arrived, looks good, I am rather taken with it, probably because closed it looks like an old Nintendo DS

The cutlery manufacturer I love (but don’t own any of) are doing free steak knives with certain cutlery sets, including the ones I preferred when I had 3 sets for a ‘cutlery trial’
They never have any sales to speak of but after years of being signed up to their emails and never being sent a single sale invite or voucher they sent a 15% off voucher.

It’s not exactly cheap but I’m a cutlery nerd and can’t abide bad cutlery. I’ve wanted Robert Welch cutlery since I got my first place at 22yrs old and it’s finally on its way.
The steak knives are £9.50 each, so 12 free ones in my book is a big win

So the deluded collecting of things for a little place I don’t have in the IOM continues!

We have his cutlery, when my SIL came out 10 years ago, she mentioned his name to us, that’s how we found out.

It's too cold to BBQ and I want grill marks on chicken so I've just reacquired a Lodge brand skillet. I had to go to one town over!

That thing would give me toast anxiety.

And it would give you uneven toasting to boot.

I have one of these. It's nonstick,& I don't hav to worry about it rusting. Also it comes with a glass cover to prevent the splattering of grease.

I have one, I’m getting rid of anything non-stick. But we use it once in a blue moon.

That's the way my CI was, once in a blue moon, but they do have cooking properties that you just can't get in anything that's not CI. My pots and pans now are that granite type coating.

Yep, it's heavy... I've ordered a glass lid. Somehow grease splatter coming out of this isn't as bothersome as the splatter from the rest of my pans.

 

[GadgetGuy]

I had one of these, but it was way too heavy! Couldn't keep it. Had to give it away. Couldn't pick it up to flip the food that was being cooked in it!!!

 

[ZCook]

Very beautiful tho. What size was it?

I've been looking at those recently thinking I *need* a cast-iron wok.

 

[GadgetGuy]

Probably about 12" to 14".

 

[SoCalZone10]

I’m ordering a new wok, carbon steel, I think I might get rid of the old one. But Paypal is not cooperating. Taking forever.
I also ordered a bakeware that we broke recently, only for replacement.
