made a massive stir fry completely winging it because I had no rice vinegar to make teriyaki. currently walking off the two portions I ate.

 

my every attempt to make stir fry has ended up a little goopy. i need a wok.

 

yeah you really need to go and give your kitchen some love by buying the correct utensils

 

one day i'll do that. right now i'm living with a few other people so it still feels transient, like it's not "my kitchen," so it seems not worth it to actually get good shit haha.

 

@Spencer Control Ikea has really great and inexpensive kitchenware. I got pretty much an entire kitchen set up for around $200. Their non-stick pans are great

 

every time i try to panfry any meat my smoke alarm goes off it sucks

 

Get All-Clad. You'll get an even cook every time and they will last 4lyf

 

ikea makes kitchenware? weird, i had no idea. my sister and i (and several cats and dogs) are gonna live together when we graduate, i will splurge then

 

IKEA makes everything

 

I would not buy IKEA cookware.

 

I've been selling cookware for almost 15 years. People buy shit and return it a week later because they went cheap.

 

for someone who had virtually no money, it's fine. If I could've afford something else I would've gotten something else

 

Not knocking. Sometimes its what you can get. I just really love a pan with a great construction.

 

Yeah if money's an issue, all the stuff I've gotten from them has completely held up for the two years I've had it so it's a solid bargain buy

 

$200 is a lot of money man

Anytime I have to buy things I actually need (cookware, furniture, etc) I find that the going price is ridiculous

 

I'm recommending a $400 set. lol

 

I mean, it's not as bad as it sounds when I itemize it. 6 plates, 6 small plates, 6 bowls, 6 forks, 6 spoons, 6 butter knives, 6 glasses, 2 mugs, 8 serving spoons/spatulas, 2 casserole dishes, 2 non-stick pans, cookie sheet, pasta strainer, and 8 various sized pots. That's a lot of stuff for $200

 

OH. I thought you meant just cookware. Yeah, that's a steal.

 

Yeah I mean when you're shopping for like ten pieces of cookware and the price is $200 that's a problem. If you're getting a full set of dishes with that, I can understand the price

 

I have the green cookware that nothing sticks to. I went expensive bc I'm that lazy that I would drop extra dough to not have to scrub them. They're 3 years old and still in perfect condition.

 

Ahh sorry, should've been more specific. Yeah, I got practically a full kitchen. Still some stuff I'd like to add on eventually (crock pot, pizza tray) but for someone that had basically 2 days to get their shit together I couldn't be happier.

 

I will argue to my grave that you are wrong.

I don't know why this en tire thing is bolded.

 

Walmart has crockpots for like $20 and I've had mine since I moved out 12 years ago lol

 

Believe it or not, I don't have a Wal Mart anywhere near me. I'm probably gonna grab something from Target.

 

Really? That's crazy but then again there's one Target close to where I live and I'm sure y'all have a ton.
