Reply to Looking for a fluffy, lightweight comforter for 2 very hot sleepers by Dazzling_Zucchini823
My husband and I have two queen sized duvet covers and the option to switch between summer and winter weight duvets, at our own speed. He likes summer weight almost all the time, I only switch to summer when it’s truly hot. Bonus, if you shift in the bed at night you don’t yank their blanket and wake them. I haven’t found any difference between IKEA and more expensive options.

It works pretty well for us, even in the dead middle of summer in the south.

Not sure how BIFL it is b/c someone stole ours from the laundry in our building the 1st summer we had it, but the Ikea hot-weather comforter was super-nice for me & the Mrs, and I sweat watching ice hockey on TV.

These are the ticking stripe sheets I bought (pictured): https://www.redlandcotton.com/collections/fitted-sheets/products/lawrence-ticking-stripe-single-fitted-sheet

They don’t seem to have this color. This looks like navy ticking sheets? I’ll pay $500 for sheets if I could only find ones similar to my grandmas! Hers were all white or blue ticking but thick as hell cotton percale. Ralph Lauren in the 1990’s and early 2000’s we’re close. Now they’re terrible. I’m at a loss. Not worried about color, but thickness. Everyone recommends X .. I get them -I’m instantly disappointed. Happens every time. If only they would offer swatches! A 2 inch swatch should be able to stand on its own. That thick is what I want. Heck, I might end up making some. I’ve been so disappointed.

idk I'd much rather just pour it all into a vacuum bottle than leave it steeping for half an hour.

They’ll get softer and softer as you wash them. I have a set that’s a year old and they’ve held up great.

Not sure why this picture makes them look rough but I have a set and they are cool and crisp. Like any cotton sheet, they get softer the more they’re washed. I have a set that’s a year old and they’re great.

Your flair on the other subreddit says you want less government but in reality you're just another control freak when it comes to your boutique issues lol.

Reply to In search of quality ceramic cookware by HearingDamage_
What about carbon steel? A friend of mine has one, and after she worked on the seasoning for awhile, it's become basically non-stick. Carbon steel is a lighter then cast iron and a little heavier then stainless steel.
Stargazer makes pretty lightweight cast iron pans with a smoother interior then Lodge pans. Still heavier then carbon steel though.
I haven't had a non-stick pan for cooking food in more then a decade, and I fry and scramble eggs on a little stainless steel Cuisinart pan. I give it time to heat up on medium-low to medium heat, flick a little water on it if I'm not sure, and use oil.
For other kinds of cooking, I release food from stainless steel pans by covering them and letting them sit off the heat for five minutes. I have a Cuisinart universal steamer with the lid that fits my little pans. And I have a Zwilling universal lid for my larger pans.
I used to use the smallest Green Pan for making hash oil for a relative I was taking care of - and it seemed pretty disposable. I used to keep a second one around just in case. I think "ceramic" non-stick is more of a sales pitch then anything else.
