I Am Totally Excited

I have got to share this...for all of us who bake in this forum; I think you can appreciate this sale I found!

I was in a discount/overstock department store shopping yesterday, and they had received a shipment of very high-end pots and pans.

I purchased 2 new square cake pans, 2 new bread loaf pans, one new baking sheet, and a food chopper all made by Cuisenart (sp?). I also purchased three new baking pans and a muffin pan made by Wilten "Elite." In addition, I found two large heavy-duty stove top pans. And I picked up a cheese shredder and one home decor item...my grand total with tax? $117.00! :o:P

I couldn't believe it. Just one of the Cuisanart pans had a pricetag of $40 from the original store!

I'm just so excited that I can throw out my warped, rusted, permanently stained, el cheapo, Wal-Mart stuff.

That's it. Just sharing my good bargain I stumbled upon.

Happy baking. -Jules B)

I'm still so excited I can hardly stand it...

11 pots/pans and a food chopper made by Cuisanart/Wilton

A cheese/veggie Grater

and general "house decorating junk"

My total was under $100 before tax. The stuff was so heavy, I couldn't lift one of the bags...my hubby had to carry it to the car! :P

Talk about Christmas in July! You ladies are totally right. :D If you would have told me a few years ago when I was in college that I would be this excited over pots and pans...I would have laughed and said, "yeah, right. There's no way."

I've never owned anything this nice before...my hubby and I are on a fairly tight budget...so it's ALWAYS been the Wal-Mart cheapo stuff that warps so easily. Maybe my gluten-free cookies won't "run" down the pan into each other anymore! What a treat! :lol:

Happy 4th! Thanks for sharing in my excitement! -Julie

Congratulations! You done good - I'm impressed! B)

And here I was all excited about actually finding bake ware at WalMart that was Made in USA and not in China! :ph34r:

I like your find better! :lol:

Yep Julie,

Being in the right place at the right time is the key...ironically, I wasn't even in there for cookware! I was looking for kitchen roosters for decorating! :P

Yeaaa Sandi...proudly made in the US of A! Don't get me wrong, Walmart does have some good dishes and cookware. But I've always purchased the "three baking pans for $6.00" kind of stuff...mainly because of our financial situation. I was just blessed to have $100 that I could spend...not that I usually have that kind of money laying around :ph34r:

My hubby was just glad to find out it wasn't $100 worth of kitchen roosters! :D;)

hugs. -Julie

Make sure you watch your Cuisinart stovetop pots & pans mine burned BAD on the bottoms everytime I cooked with them. I ended up frustrated and bought new Belgique ones. B):P

You can also get excellent quality pots & pans @ TJ Maxx or Ross

Be well Lovelies!

You'll enjoy using your new purchases. Having good equipment just makes the job easier.

Morning everyone!

Wonka- "Having good equipment just makes the job easier"- You are sooo right!

Since all of my old pans have warped, my food no longer cooks evenly...and soft baked things

"run" into one another! :rolleyes:

Hello Collette darling-

As always, your wisdom is appreciated. B) I take what the cooking Goddess says

(that would be you Collette) :D very seriously!

Yep, I was in a Ross I think...there are several of those stores located near me. I get them

confused b/c they are in the same plaza. It's discount heaven! :wub:

Many hugs. -Julie

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much...

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
