Pans...

We have got an induction hob but yet to be fitted , will let you know what it's like .

How much better is it to gas and normal hob Scary_Fish ?

I love it - hot in miliseconds and cools straight down Takes a bit of getting used to as things do boil very fast/suddenly but then turn down and goes low quick - if you see what I mean lol. Really easy to clean too

[Scary_Fish]

Did Scary_Fish post some pics at last ?

All real

[wayne451]

I got pics off Scary_Fish.

Her fanny looks like a scene from Jaws and that's when she ISN'T on the blob...

I gave in and ordered a set. I figure £17 for 3 that I'll no doubt destroy when drunk again isn't too bad.

And today they arrived lmao

prestige do a stainless steel range that are induction compatible, dunelm mill sell them. big solid and chunky, good quality, depsite "only" being stainless, baked on crap comes off very easy. downside is they are expensive, but sold singly so can buy as you go.

Hob is brilliant and got special pans too .
If there is nothing on the hob for a certain time it goes to lowest setting .

Don't worry about it; just get your girlfriend/wife/mother to take care of it. My girlfriend doesn't worry about which torque wrench I'm gonna buy!

[Allvaux]

Well said Ed, cooking is a bird's job to be honest.

Vicky, can't offer advice on which cooking vessel is best but you're more than welcome to try out my pan handle should you wish.

[Ed]

lol

What's with the dumbass comments about cooking just being for the wives/women?
Learn to cook and you'll never go hungry and you can cook what YOU want.
As a single bloke, I learned that being able to cook WELL, even if just a few basic but tasty things, can impress girls and they're more likely to 'stay over'. Cook really well, and you'll be set. When flatting, I found it was generally the guys who could cook food, the girls were usually terrible - beans on toast, etc, rather than roasts, pies, etc, - the real 'man' food!

Get a small, medium and large SS pot and a CI frying pan and add on as required - a good roasting pan and lid is darned handy.
Oh, and a selection of quality SHARP knives and keep them that way.

I have a lot more to impress women with than my cooking skills lol.

And I am least fussy eater in the world. Eating is an inconvenince for me; I have no interest in it, I just want it there to eat when I'm hungry (insert lovely girlfriend). John Lennon put it best when he said he wished he could just take a pill each day which provide him with all the nutrients he needed.

In fact I envy my cat; I wish my whole diet could just be some biscuits poured into a bowl-bliss.

You cook because you're single. It's pretty obvious to me that you haven't got a woman because you're domesticated. You need to get with the programme here, no self respecting bint would go anywhere near a bloke that cooks, I suspect most women will think you're on the other bus. But don't worry me old Antipodean ant botherer, advice is at hand and what's more it's free:
Hungry? Go to the chippie or pay a visit to something called a 'supermarket' (if you don't know what one of those is just ask a woman or a gay bloke) and buy microwave meals for one. This instantly attracts predatory females and by asking any random women floating about how to cook said meal you're almost there as they'll take pity on you and realise you're single.
Then (just to up the ante a bit) buy yourself a small fluffy dog and walk about with a microwave meal for one under your arm looking a bit lost, perhaps sit on a park bench looking studiously at the cooking instructions as your dog looks all sort of sad on account of the fact you haven't fed that either as you don't have a bird.
Trust me, unless you actually are gay, or you're from somewhere weird like New Zealand, any single woman within a five hundred yard radius will be fizzing at the bung hole at the thought of becoming your new squeeze.
Think about it, it's a no lose situation: you'll not only be able to get all your food cooked you can rub salt around all the kitchen appliances (whatever they are) so they look rusty and unsed so you'll probably get your washing up done and your clothes washed and ironed.
Once you get going there's other bonuses such as getting some silly bint to clean up the dog **** and have sex with you too.

[Ed]

This is what's wrong with the world now actually. Women are slowly becoming less attracted to the traditional macho man's man (who wouldn't dream of cooking, let alone discussing saucepans on a car forum), and are into the feminine Justin Biebers of this world. Metrosexual do they call it?

'Metrosexual' was actually invented for Wayne, who's a homosexual Metro owner.

[wayne451]

Ed, Allvaux said you have your own pink mixing bowl, a playboy bunny pinny and that you like baking fairy cakes for the local YMCA. You aren't going to sit there and take that are you?

Cooking? Pah...I just have a protein shake for breakfast, a protein shake for lunch, then a sensible dinner of 18 kilos of steroids...

lmao

[Ed]

lmao, now that I'll give you!

[Allvaux]

Actually Ed looks exactly like the sort of bloke who pulls up outside your house in a high sided Transit pick-up with chevrons on the bottom of the doors and offers to tarmac your drive whilst his kids nick your television aerial.

[Ed]

......and I'm not even wearing the rigger boots in that shot.
