Ladies

I am giving a dutch oven.

I would reconsider on this one.

Make sure to let his sisters know he really needs some weed eater string, weed be gone, grub killer, bug spray, and fertilizer for christmas this year!

Letme know how that works out for him.

I want a convection oven. But the reason for this poll is my husband thinks it's a good idea to buy his sisters each a frying pan for Christmas, while I think it's a horrible idea.

Maybe he's just trying rattle their cages......

Wait just a minute! I was driving all day and didn't see this thread.

Gotsta stick up for Yle on this one - a cast iron skillet is a GREAT gift. Larry got me one for Christmas one year and it was exactly what I wanted. I use it several times a week, easily. Nice solid Lodge cast iron, a multi-purpose pan that will last forever.

You ladies who sniff at a Lodge pan are crazy.

A cast iron skillet is probably one of the worst things I could think of to receive. I HATE them with a passion.

How come? I love mine.

Only use a round type skillet once in awhile. Most of the time I use the large elect skillet. Use the crap outta that thing.

No, you don't give a woman a gift of a cast iron skillet unless you want her to hit you with it.

I hate how food cooks on them. They're heavy and just not practical for me. Love my non-stick Calphalons.

You cant get fond on non stick pans unfortunately. But I do love my calphalons or pampered chef non stick for eggs and stuff like that.

mig, since you made the mistake of making this a closed poll, i am going to help out on this one!

 

[lovinmaryland]

lemme ask a not so silly ? what do y`all recommend for ceramic top stoves? brand new & not used? you Girls seem to know the scoop on that. an honest ? price isn`t the isssue. Quality yes, but careful seldom use without naturally scratching the surface. single edge razor blade will poof any mess. & Windex makes it shine of course.
B B & B, or i`ve seen a bunch, but yet 2 make a decision. yes i can cook if need be. a whole set of cookware, no prob.

I have no deisre to own one of those. I really need to replace my stove and am hoping to be able to afford and upgrade to a 5 or 6 burner gas stove. Gotta see what my bonus is liek first though. :fingerscrossed:

I love my Calphalon, too, but they're used differently than the cast iron and the stainless pans. You cannot blacken a steak or make a pan sauce with non-stick.

It's just one of those things where knowing the recipient makes a lot of difference. Most of the time, women would rather receive a gift of luxury than one of practicality.

From experience though - I don't buy my wife jewelry, perfume or any kind of clothes unless I know with certainty that it is *EXACTLY* what she wants.

Of course, she also doesn't like surprises. One Christmas she showed me a pair of boots in a catalog, saying she'd like that for Christmas. I told her I would get them for her - she said "it's ok, you already did".
