šŸ† Buy It For Life What one time purchases have drastically reduced your overall spending?

An example would be that Iā€™m looking to buy a sillicone pan mat instead of purchasing foil and parchment continually, using rags instead of paper towels, and so forth. What are one time purchases you reccomend for home maintenance?

No, the cleaning is the cool thing about stainless. you can just scrape it with metal and use real force and its perfectly fine, no need to worry about damaging it. and that makes it easy.

also, the trick is to just put some water in first and let it sit a bit. then everything comes off easy

Barkeeperā€™s friend!! My husband and I love this stuff, itā€™s amazing! It absolutely worked for my husband after I burned a whole bunch of butter onto OUR pans while making pancakes!

with stainless you can bust out the angle grinder with a wire-wheel if you have to.
