The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[California Dreamer]

Induction sucks, the glass tops always crack and you need induction pans for it to work properly. Gas is where it’s at

Agree. The house we bought two years ago has an induction range. We had to chuck out every saucepan that we had bought over 30 years, all entirely useless. It least it was an excuse to invest in some All-Clads.

Heat is hard to control and it is very difficult to do wok cooking as the pan sides do not hold heat. We've been here less than two years and we're already talking about replacing the stove.

Next, you guys are going to tell me that cassettes aren't the best way to listen to 80s music.

Hey y'all. I don't always thrift anymore, but when I do, I prefer Neopolitan.

 

[sandfourman]

@sandfourman what vibe is your album? Congrats on that.

I make dub techno, techno, minimal and electronica!
the album is more somber and laidback.

That's really close, target price for me on the 12 inch was 80 and I got it, ebay really is the place to hunt, tbh. Depending on the pan, 12 inch with curved sides might make steaks a little crowded, but the copper cores stainless, do NOT buy the non-stick, are known for making the best fond. I don't know how to cook for **** and made myself a fantastic steak, poured a touch of wine and flour for an easy gravy on the mashed taters. Ignore copper core stainless, it hurts, but it just won't last over time. I got my lady an 8, 10 and 12 inch pan, then the big saute pans 4 and 6 quart. I only paid over 100 for the 6 quart saute with lid, and it came new in box.

Also, you can buy the lids new off amazon (like 40 bucks), all the lids for every line are the same, so don't let a missing lid deter you from a great deal.

I'm now confused by this, are you saying copper core is the best, or are you saying to ignore it and get something else?

I agree that gas is superior in every way. my house doesn’t have gas connected. I didn’t have a cool $7k lying around to have gas connected to the stove and to run the pipes through the house for heating. It’s a ***** to do when the house I’m in is double brick and I’ve redone all the floor joists and flooring. Maybe in a couple of years.

I’ve been busy and haven’t been getting out as much lately

Alden and PRL C&J suede wingtips, bummed those aren’t my size.

Random well made huge weekender tote

Been weak on the ties lately

Various Ralph, RLBL cashmere thermal is NA. I’m red green colorblind so the RL blue label script is even more annoying when you think you’ve got RLPL til you get home

BB1818, NWT united Arrows x unionmade (RIP), nice canali

Some more Ralph stuff

08sircus is a pop and a weird knit varsity thing, PS and Barbour

Some nice shirts, pop on rowing blazers

Women’s stuff. Red leather St. John’s is very thriller - esque

Vintage storm rider vest, old (any idea how old @Fueco ?) Patagonia

Cool vintage loop collars, flannel and gauze

Mila trofeo

Some English shirts

And some English suits

Passed on those T&A and Lester suits Thanksgiving weekend when I was at the in laws. Surprised they were still there

There's two types of copper core, stainless and non-stick. Non-stick surfaces like teflon just don't hold up well over time. Enamel holds up much better, but not as "non-stick."

M’s scores today... Pancake maker and a fudge cooking pot.

What was the final price on those? Maybe I should visit Marshalls more often.

I have yet to find AllClad for myself. Just Le Creuset left right center.

Uh oh... Cannabis cakes.

Joints? Edibles are far more civil.

For our office gift exchange I was tempted to fill a coffee mug of half gummy bears half edibles ******* and say "Lets Play a Game" on the card.

What a career limiting move

They weren’t super cheap ($30 for the griddle and $25 for the 3.5 L pot), but they were needed.
