Riverside Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 The 3D TV thread called up an issue for me. Mrs. Riverside often thinks of things as "the new..." We bought a set of Wolfgang Puck cookware at Costco about ten years ago. They're her "new" pans. The other day, MIL walked through the kitchen and looked at them. "Ahh - Wolfgan Putz!"... "I have some like these, but mine are cleaner." Should I shoot MIL? Or just keep laughing at her? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knives and other "Stainless" Steel products are hard to judge. If it says "Stainless" and it's highly magnetic, then it it ain't. Always take a magnet with you when buying knives and flatware. Oh - and MIL is so full of - well, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the in-betwixed-coming-avoidance should begin when the groom says, "Will you marry me?" When they get into it, head to the garage or farthest, darkest corner of the basement. (Most likely your FIL is there already) If you're within their collective round-houses, you'll be asked to take sides. DO NOT TAKE THE BAIT. Get the heck outta Dodge! "Uh.. I need to change the furnace exhaust filter.." When the MIL returns to her own gingerbread house, then approach the missus and just listen. Even bad mouthing the MIL when your wife is p.o.ed at her is dangerous territory. Laugh at your own risk from a fer distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I prefer cast iron. Most of my kitchen knives are actually Case hunting/fishing knives. Better American steel. Most stainless is 25+ year old Miracle Made (sp?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
