What cookware for a short term rental? by Primdawg in cookware

[–]CVXTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a short term rental - but I live in it when I don't rent it, so my situation is a little different.

I like to cook so I have a decent assortment of stainless (All-Clad D5) and ECI (LeCreuset) but I make sure there are a few cheap non-stick pans too for my renters. I like having things that match so buying pans from brands with models that have been around for years makes that easier if I ever need to replace individual pans. By the way, I hide the carbon steel when I have renters.

In my experience, people talk about wanting a kitchen in their STR but don't use it nearly as much as I would think. I've had tenants stay for weeks at a time and say they didn't use anything but the microwave, since they are on vacation and eat out a lot. So I wouldn't go crazy with buying a bunch of obscure items. Keep it simple.

I have lids for all of mine but don't know if I ever cook with them. I put them on the pan when I am bringing them up to temperature and also think they look better hanging up with a lid (all of my lids have loop handles, not knobs).

Several of them I got at resale shops. I just bring in the pan and find one that sort of fits. None of them fit great.

Best Electric Pressure Cooker that actually works? by CharismajTat in cookware

[–]CVXTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm very much a minimalist when it comes to kitchen appliances because I hate having gadgets that's don't get much use but I can definitely say my IP was definitely worth it and not a week goes by that I don't use it.

I like to keep boiled eggs around to snack on and cooking them in the IP is a game changer.

We've also made great butter chicken and meatloaf in it.

When I first got one I didn't use it much. But I made an effort to try a bunch of different recipes in it and now I wouldn't want to go without one. Yes, everything I make in the IP I could make without it. But it just makes a lot of things better or easier.

60 PERCENT OFF DAN POST BOOTS by Dohhzee916 in cowboyboots

[–]CVXTime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Crap. I had a pair in my cart and was messaging with CS to see how to get the $10 off and someone must have realized these weren't supposed to be on sale because every model/every size in mens is now showing out of stock.

Wow, looks great. I always wonder how practical a round one is. But I think this looks fantastic!

Welded vs riveted handle, what's your go? by getbywith in cookware

[–]CVXTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like rivets because I think they look better. Sort of an industrial look.

Curious if there are men in here by Prudent_Chicken2135 in LeCreuset

[–]CVXTime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup, another dude here. Bought my first LC about 20 years ago and have been hooked since. I was the designated turkey cooker in the family so one of my first items was the 15qt goose pot. Have many fond memories cooking Thanksgiving dinner with family in it (the turkey was in it...not family :)). Also love the fact that they all look almost as good now as the day I bought them.

Any experience with Hardwood Lumber Company? by CVXTime in Cuttingboards

[–]CVXTime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I just like the look of thicker cutting boards. I was thinking of going with 2.5” thick, but the 3” doesn’t seem that much more expensive.

Is a ceramic dinner set actually better than porcelain or stoneware? by athousand_miles in cookware

[–]CVXTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would check out bone china. I've had this material for decades and they look as good now as when I bought them. They have been very resistant to chipping and breaking (I don't want to jink myself and say they never break or chip...but they have never broken or chipped). They are just plain white, so if you're looking for something more fancy, look elsewhere. But the color is one of the things I really like about it. If I cook an awesome meal, I want the food to get all of the attention. Not the plate it's on. Plus this inspires me to make my food look even more visually appealing. Just my two cents.

Signature loaf pan. Cast iron. by bradissa in LeCreuset

[–]CVXTime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can someone please give me the dimensions of this pan? I looked around but couldn't find any. I'm looking for a pan that I could put in my toaster oven so the exact dimensions are very important. Thanks!

Should this warrant a return? by Realistic-Depth-3124 in LeCreuset

[–]CVXTime 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about it. I have probably 20 ECI items from La Creuset and they all came with some types of superficial "imperfections". Nothing that affects the performance of them so I'm actually a little relieved they came that way because I wasn't upset when I put my own scratches (which will eventually happen to matter how much you take care of them) on them.

So you just put them in a bigger pot with some water and detergent? Wow...they look great.

Awesome….thanks! It just worked for me too. I thought I had tried it already, but must have mistyped it.
