I cook with pretty much I can -- I don't have an instapot, but I've got a standard pressure cooker, 5 crock pots of different sizes, 2 clambshell grills plus a counter top normal grill, a big toaster oven, 3 electric skillets, a rice cooker and 2 bread machines, a Kitchen aid stand mixer, a 1900 watt microwave oven, a tea machine, a coffee pot, an electric can opener, a toaster, different scales and meat probes and all kinds of pans and deep dishes and griddles. I cook on stovetop, in the oven, in the microwave, and even outside if needed. My utensil jar is an old 4 quart removable crock. There are 8 cutting boards, including a round one exclusively for pizza, and the two big ones, one of which is for rolling out dough, and the other one is a Boos Block free standing butcher block So there's plenty of time and place to chop or otherwise cut something. For big drinks I have a few gallon jugs around and a glass jug too, while for bigger drinks, especially hot ones, I've got a 40 cup percolating coffee urn. (Never use it for coffee) So I like a *lot* of styles.

I also have the five fingered ones that Dale has. I like them all. The five fingered ones are a lot more secure when draining a pot. -----Original Message----- From: Cookinginthedark <cookinginthedark-boun...@acbradio.org> On Behalf Of Dani Pagador via Cookinginthedark Sent: Tuesday, August 4, 2020 10:53 AM To: cookinginthedark@acbradio.org Cc: Dani Pagador <pocketfulofs...@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [CnD] Preferred cooking methods Hi, Johna. Here's the link to the grips and hotpad combo. I did a search of the mall and read through the results.
