And maybe some general baking stuff.... and a caserol dish I could put in the oven, yaknow, for potato bake and chicken or whatever.

I want the Jamie Oliver stuff, anyone has any more suggestions/ideas and most importantly how much it'll cost?

ATM I have *nothing* except some plates/cups/cutlery and I'm really trying to start to cook more since I'm in my own place now and need to be healthier
 
The Jamie Oliver stuff is Le Creuset. It's expensive, but I love them. They're awesome. I only buy them when they're on special at Binuns (20% discount is a lot).
Their wok-pan thingy is a mofo pan that's quite deep and worth it - R1200
The pots are around R1000-R2000 depending on the size.

If you want steel, go AMC. I have a crapload of AMC pots and some of them are 30 years old already and still in mint condition. A set goes for around R10-15k last I checked.
 
Loving the Neoflam stuff just because it's so easy to wash. I have other pots too, but the ex-SO chose to get these as his first set after using mine mostly for that reason. Pots are oven-safe too.

EDIT: Price was just over R1k for set of 3 with lids. You need to get non-metal utensils so you don't scratch it too.

I don't think Jamie Oliver 's items = Le Creuset. It's two seperate brands.

Jamie Oliver's cookware are made by T-Fal

I have a mix of T-Fal, Scanpan and Woolies and the new Woolies stuff is working quite well

No no, I mean he uses those. He uses other brands as well but I often see him using one of the dishes I have, except he uses a metal spoon in it :mad:

You can use anything you want in Le Creuset... they're practically indestructible.

Who cares about showing it to the wife (not that I have one)...

That site would quite easily bankrupt me... and I will be dropping large amounts there in the not too distant future.

I also just love the way they do business...

Bought myself a set of Wursthof knives, next day it was at my door in a nice big box, with a personally written thankyou note and all that... was just a really nice shopping experience.

you don't need 4k for a decent set of pots and unless you intend doing lots of cooking and entertaining I wouldn't get hung up on any of the big brand names, also you just need to decide what type of pots you need to get by, I probably only have 4 or 5 that get used on an almost daily basis, the rest get used a couple of times a month
