Reply to Can anyone suggest a durable non stick cook set? Preferably one which doesn't break the bank by revnhoj
In addition to what others have said, many hot nonstick coatings spew forever chemicals into the air with dangerous impacts for children and fatal ones for parrots. I have used cast iron that's 100+ years old and still nonstick. Plus it works wonders for muscle definition in my forearms!

A presto- style cooker would have a seal, but the ones I own specifically requires no seal. Have worked just fine for decades.

Eh, other than no safety measures I don’t believe anything due to fatigue could fail, much less cause a fire.

Yea the electric ones. You'll see them at yard sales for $5... the cord will have been repaired at least once and it was likely made 20-35 years ago

You probably do not need or really want a set, and non-stick always degrades no matter how careful you are.

There's some hate for Hexclad around here for some reason, but we bought a pan and I love it so far. Only had it for a few months so I can't speak to whether it's actually durable, but it is nonstick, and I can see it lasting a lot longer than other nonstick pans because of the raised stainless steel. It also technically has a lifetime warranty.

There are plenty of genuine Aran sweater sites online. I'm not saying the ones on Amazon are fake tho'.

Reply to I'm looking for dress shoes by CanadianAviator94
It’s better to rotate dress shoes (don’t wear them two days in a row). What’s your job like (desk, stand, etc.) and what’s your budget?
I love my Allen Edmonds Park Avenues.

No, safety valves were a thing by the 1930s. There is one on the cooker in the picture, and a vent hole, and a lid held by the strength of its seal, designed to fail at a certain pressure. Three failsafes to overcome before catastrophe, and that was in the 1930s.

Not a chance. Go direct to the source. And remember, if the deal looks to good to be true, it is.

You might find Glerups fit the bill. I'm old, with wide prone to ache feet, and the Glerups (felted, with leather or rubber soles) are excellent to me.

Like, say, a 1930s pressure cooker by chance….

Came here to second this brand, the rock is some of the best cookware I've owned, usually pans only last me a year before flaking or rusting, pretty great quality for the cheap price. Usually around the holidays sets go on sale. I can't vouche for lagonstina since mine cheap 40$ one started rusting after a few months, maybe I got a bunk rip off. Who knows.

I have these ones from North Face. They are sturdy and warm, forgiving in width, have a hard rubber sole and have lasted about five years at this point with no signs of wear. They are also easily pulled on and off with one hand, similar to the bombas slipper socks. They kind of remind me of a puffer jacket for your feet. I am sorry to hear about your accident and hope you are holding up OK as you adjust!
