Video came out 5 months ago. Pairing knife is 50% more expensive in a few months
I don't have a problem paying for quality, but I would really like to know what makes a Dutch oven worth 400$. Or another way to put it, what am I missing out on if I choose to buy a mid-range one (100-200$)? I don't care about brands at all. I do like using and keeping stuff for a long time.
The is another practical video by Lisa. I needed the info since we recently bought an Airstream. Our home kitchen is large and we have collected at ton of kitchen tools. This and the previous video about a capsule kitchen is helping us narrow down what to take on our new adventures. Lisa is such a professional. I always appreciate her videos. 😀
I’m surprise he would recommend those sheet pans that are aluminum. Aluminum is so unhealthy to cook on. But thanks for sharing
What’s a capsule kitchen?. Thanks for sharing
I would like to befriend McManus !!!
It would be nice to have more specific titles. What is a capsule kitchen? Ok. I’d like to know about pots and Dutch ovens. Can’t watch them all.
Is there a "capsule kitchen" cookbook? I was just thinking the capsule kitchen items plus a cookbook (where all you need for the recipes are the capsule items) would make such a fun and practical gift for grown kids starting their own homes.
Thank you Lisaa!!! <3
Perhaps a follow-up video 'capsule plus' to cover the next 6 (or 12) items to buy would be useful.
This is a little out of left field, but does America’s Test Kitchen have a sister company that reviews home products? Like vacuums, couches, curtains. I’m a fan of the gear reviews here and I want similar reviews for the products I could use in the rest of my house.
Thanks for the cast iron info! We've started using cast iron in our camp kitchen, it's great once you know how to use it 😅
Did you mean 3.25 in for the paring knife? I don’t se a 3.5 in on Amazon
Nice update, thanks. There has got to be an alternative to the $400 Dutch Oven. How about the Lodge Ceramic Coated Cast Iron Dutch Oven for $80 on Amazon? For a $300+ savings, one could buy some more essentials.
I love Lisa and how she explains and presents. I can’t stand Hannah ☹️
No spatula is worth $65. I can put the same bend on the $20 unit the overpriced one has in a few seconds for $0.
Sheet pans? Man my interest was piqued when I thought she was saying "Sheep hands"
That was really good!
Could y'all do an episode on essentials or recommended equipment for the kitchen after buying a house for the first time?
I am disappointed that Lisa didn't actually use that absurdly massive mug
Check out these picky cooks who care about that stuff. Never been poor.
Lisa, loved the juxtaposition of what you said ("enjoyable debates") with the gesture (clenched fists headed for a beating).
I love my Nordic Ware sheet pan it is US made, cost less than $2 than the Chinese made and came with a cooling rack at Target!
Before the holidays I got the Lodge 5 piece set for $50. Not ideal for Dutch oven but $10 cast iron.
My god they are always just repackaging the same OLD stuff over and over again.
I think the people that were commenting cookie sheet meant what you call a sheet pan. We always grew up calling sheet pans cookie sheets.
