Alt:alt: Shit cook=1 or master chef like Gonz**=10, how do you rate yourself and why?

I like Joseph Joseph and Alessi stuff where you can't even work out what the hell it is
And in answer to the tedious question that you didn't ask: Teaspoons, Forks, Spoons, Knives, Steak Knives front to back in that order.

The bread maker I own is just a very expensive air freshener TRUFAX

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Tue 30 Dec 2014, 14:46, Reply)

bread makers are the teasmades of the 1990s
a vaguely convenient-sounding way of making a shit version of something that's already dead easy to make

But I do like to open up the door downstairs on a Sunday morning to the smell, then lob the offending article at a bunch of ducks.

Egg beat(s by Dr. Dre)er.
It's like poor quality £10 egg beater but costs fifteen times more because it is endorsed by a famous music producer.

The Jonathon King brand condoms are a bit small and cost a fucking fortune too.

Altalt: 5 - I can make reasonable food, but I wouldn't say it's anything to shout about.

can you still buy poptarts?

(old man river possible lesbian, Tue 30 Dec 2014, 14:48, Reply)

Not sure.
I never did like them though, I think it was because I got my arse smacked when I set fire to one under the grill as a child.

Not sure but I'm guessing you could have a go on all the spice girls and still have change from £20

Not to be confused with grindr when the outcome you're after in the morning is a nice coffee
along with some brown sludge from the things you did to get that coffee.

my laptop for researching restaurants
or my drinks fridge for keeping drinks icy cold.

if you're making me cook.... my wok, my chopping knife/alessi chopping board, and my le creuset baking dishes.

altalt: probably an average 7. i can cook savoury stuff quite well, but i don't think i've made a pudding/cake/biscuit since home ec at school.

In the sense that you can't really use anything else to do the same thing which you can with practically everything else

I have a whole range of gadgets that I have been bought, only because I cook a lot.
Most take up far to much room, but I have a list of who has got me what so I put it out on display if ever they come round, my hand blender however is a godsend.

I've had the same wok since I left home, that's served well over the years. Good knives are a must too.
