AIBU or is three grand too much for pans?

[GeraldineAubergine]

I went to a collegues house recently to see s

I must tread carefully at work as some people have sold their first borns for a set of these pans. I can't really scoff without causing them pan. Pain. (sorry).

See that's foolish. Who will you cook cabbage cake for, if you've sold all your kids.

rearrange this sentence

sense money more than

Right, I NEED to know the name of this company NOW! I have £3000 burning a hole in my pocket and it is either pans or magic beans. Someone please pm me.... please.

Somebody actually BOUGHT some. That really isn't the point of them, surely.
They are for pointing and laughing at

Hahaha the website is fantastic! Apparently if I buy the pans, I won't get cancer/diabetes/a cold (or something like that).

check out the post from 21.02 for a name

Please can some one pm me with the name! I am dying of curiosity!

I must go to sleep now to dream tormented dreams of bizarre confections whipped up in pans that shine brighter than the sun. I think the pans have made me aspirational. Or delusional.

Hahahahaha

"tasted of broken dreams"

Hahahaha

Like the NOTW story...the thread that keeps on giving

This is a very very weird thread

(thank you for the PM caramel )

OP that is not too much. Similarly, 80k is not too much to pay for a handbag (crocodile skin Hermes Birkin complete with paved diamond hardware, if you don't already know ) nor is 80 million too much for a house (recently purchased by a wealthy divorcee for her 22 year old daughter - complete with "gift-wrapping room").

Hell, you can't even buy a decent dress for 3k. See below

FFS, people, what is WRONG with you all??

These are not pans....it is a SPECIALIST HEALTHY COOKING SYSTEM!!!!
According to Harry Lemons (really??), cooking food with this SPECIALIST HEALTHY COOKING SYSTEM not only means that you can have as much cabbage cake and eggy sweetcorn as you can eat but it cures, yes, CURES cancer!! And AIDS, the common cold, headlice and herpes (probably.....all the relevant data has not been collaborated into a definitive, scientific result as of yet)!

And you lot are saying that 3 grand is too much for this modern miracle of Home Economic Technology? And that's just the basic set, not including the singing and dancing shreddy-type implement!

Just imagine, people....if you were to purchase the full Superior, Professional, Super Duper range for the bargain price of £7000, it's pretty safe to assume that you could cure DEATH ITS-SELF!

Enter the world of Specialist Healthy Cooking Systems, my children.....enter and become IMMORTAL*.....

*maybe.

Plus, it's nowhere near as expensive as THIS

and that one doesn't even cure cancer! Piss poor excuse for a pan, if you think about it!

Ah, i see you've discovered my spittoon PaintedToenails.

I'll just return it to the giftwrapping room where it belongs :)

Oh, come orf.....

Who doesn't have a giftwrapping room nowadays?

And chewing tobacco is so 2009.......

A giftwrapping room?! How common!

My giftwrapping maid does mine, and I dont give a toss where she does it aslong as it is below stairs and I never have to see her. The gifts get sent up in the gift-dumbwaiter to ensure she doenst have to step into the main house.

I need a bath now to wash off the pretentiousness of this thread.

God how I hate wannabes......

Is it bad that I don't want to go to work, but I do want ten strangers to come into my home and eat bizarre food cooked in a health giving way. The pans have subverted me.

3k for a set of pans for a domestic kitchen, jesus wept! I thought I was being hugely extravagant recently when I paid a few hundred dollars for a set of knives but I clearly move in the wrong circles.

I'm starting to feel concerned about the grating. It would appear to be essential to grate EVERYTHING before you cook it. That could become tedious. Not to mention dangerous on the knuckles. Can these magic pans not cope with whole lumps of food then?

I don't know....... Maybe I'm just overly cynical, but I'm not sure about these now. It will probably cost you another grand a year in graters. And plasters.

Celebrity endorsement!

Mrs Weasley has the self-stirring one. she just shouts the recipe at it and it makes lamb and oyster stew with banana and kidney topping

Fellatio, have you not watched the informative video on the website? The gratey thing poses no threat to the Knuckles of Mumsnet.....it's a whizzy thing where you stuff various vegetables in the top, turn a handle and they all tumble out in a variety of shapes. It's like a meat grinder for veg!

3k for pans?
I would be very surprised if the whole of my kitchen equipment even amounts to anywhere near that figure.
I have had my pans for nealy a quarter of a century (24 years and 4 months) and use them every day. They were a wedding present and have a lifetime guarentee. Remember the advert with the American woman and the Dr Who bloke?
"You can put the dinner on, I'll be home in 20 minutes"
Ask pan lady if her pans will last as long.

PT - ok thanks. But what if you are stil in possession of teeth, and like to chew lumps like a grown up? I can see why these pans are essential for the geriatric care homes, weaning babies, and those with a wired up broken jaw, but what about the rest of us? Must we be consigned to a diet of grated mush in order to get the full health benefits of these pans?
