Got some new pots and pans today. Just a set of cheapies from Walmart for $20. Everything else was like $60 or more. Or, at least for the type I wanted.
I get so disgusted with the non stick stuff. No matter what happens stuff flakes off and gets in the food, it's disgusting and incredibly not healthy. So, woo for non nonstick pots and pans, lol.
Also bought a pair of sneakers for DD, her very first set of shoes. $10 for those. Which, how her little size 4 shoes can cost the same as my size 10, I don't get it, but whatever. Going to have to run in to Once Upon a Child and see if they have some cheaper ones.

 | Have you tried cast iron? When I moved to my new home have way across country we had to basically start from scratch and buy a lot of things. I bought a set of 3 cast iron skillets from JcPenny on sale for $11 and they are great. I hate the cheap non stick stuff that's what I had before and it was horrible. It was peeling like crazy, and as you said it not good us. I love the cast iron, it cooks great, and it will last forever. |

| |  I may try some cast iron later on, when I get more room in my kitchen. I don't have any experience with them though, aren't you suppose to not wash them with soap? or something, like a pizza stone? |

| | You are not supposed to wash it with soap, but I do once in a while, with just a little bit. If you keep it well seasoned, and it becomes non stick. It's actually pretty easy to take care of, once you get use to it. Just make sure you oil the pan after you heat it up, and the food wouln't stick and it helps keep it seasoned. |

| |  I was lucky enough to get in on a great deal on some expensive calphalon non stick pans and they really are nice and do not flake off (yet). Keep your eyes peeled for online deals! But instead of using the cheapies, I agree with rmtrivas...try some cast iron. They last FOREVER (and I mean forever you can buy antique cast iron pans from the 1800's and still use them today). I use a little soap on mine every now and then too if they are really greasy (like if you make fried chicken). But normaly a little hot water will do. If there is something stuck on I scrub it off with a little salt as an abrasive. If you use your cast iron all the time you should not have a problem with keeping it seasoned. The downsides of cast iron is that its heavy and they can rust (so don't leave a pan outisde..we did that once, my DD fed the dogs out of my frying pan and left the pan out there in the yard...it was a rusty mess) Plus sides are that they last forever (I mean this is what our great great great grandparents used!), they add iron to your food (seriously this is good for you not like teflon!), they conduct heat really well, and they can go in the oven (bake cornbread or an apple pie in a cast iron skillet...YUM) |
