impractical, or not?

WIWI: they look pretty. basically, that's it. looks as if they're partially advertised as fitting on a round plate, but seems to me that straight ones didn't have that problem in the first place. usually cute things like this work like crap, but you never know until you try. i would also need a grill to find any use for these. who broils? really.


Now your grilled and broiled kebabs can fit perfectly on your barbecue plates with these curved steel skewers. The 15'' long skewers curl into an 8'' circle.

sushi sushi sushi

WIWI: DIY sushi. however, i won't be getting the fish itself. i read somewhere that if raw fish isn't properly cut and handled, you could get really sick. no thanks. also, i don't really need to be rich to buy this, but i do think i'll need to be rich to take off enough time from work to roll sushi myself. or pay someone to do it.

and while we're on the cooking theme...

WIWI: Rediculously heavy, shiny and complicated. Do they cook food any better than pans that cost a thousand dollars less? Probably not. Hey, did I mention they're shiny?

All-Clad Copper Core cookware features five (count 'em) five-ply construction with a pure copper pot or pan sandwiched between two layers of aluminum, sandwiched again between two layers of stainless steel. Mmm...sandwich.

WIWI: mostly i want this knife because it's ceramic and beautiful and ergonomic. i've been looking for a knife for when i move, something that will make me love cooking even more, but i'll probably be looking at a decent $20 version.

because cooking is basically a science experiment

WIWI: measuring cups are usually boring, which is THE reason why i don't use them. maybe with this i'll start treasuring accuracy from now on
