So I’ve been able to be in waged labor for a few years now, a situation that has not been common in my life. But thanks to this I’ve been able to get more petty bougie stuff that I previously never could have and oh boy does it make a difference.
I got a new frying pan, it’s this fancy cheffy seven million ply non stick made for induction and my god it’s so good. It’s so much better than any cast iron I’ve ever used. The food starts browning instantly instead of boiling or drying. It’s like a grill! Plus I’m making beautiful frenchy pan sauces on it, it actually reduces the way it should when the liquid hits the pan.
Compared to all the cheap and middle range shitty non stick pans that I’ve burnt through over the years the difference is night and day.
Been cooking for a family like it’s my job for decades and frying anything at all has never been a joy, but now it is. Chicken comes out so gorgeous, it’s unreal. I don’t even need a grill with a pan like this.
You can pry this thing from my cold dead hands.
I got a $500 Wolf brand blender for about $80 (thank you reward points) and the difference between that and my old Ninja blender is like night and day
I made butternut squash soup in the blender and it’s smooth and hot and I didn’t have to dirty up any additional pots or anything!
The rich live in a world where everything is smooth sailing and hot soup!
It’s fucked up that the average person has to live with chintzy shit just so these shitheads can live high on the hog
Right? It’s incredible how easy things can be.
And don’t even get me started on actual shoes. I’ve been able to finally afford good gore-tex shoes and I can just go around in the world with dry feet all year long. The decades of cold wet toes in the rain are over. Also ice bugs, I no longer have to skip going out when the environment is just sheer ice, I can just walk in it.
It extends to literally everything.
“Nonstick” will always degrade. Stainless steel or cast iron is a better investment, each having different use cases and positives depending on what you like to cook.
Yeah sure, I know it will. But I also need my cooking to be easier. Tried the stainless steel, absolutely hated it.
