What are some of the best purchases of your life? (self.asklemmy)

For me it has to be:

  1. Helix mattress ($1,217). Sleep is great.
  2. Home gym power cage & weights (~$1,000). Look good, feel good, get strong.
  3. Netgear Nighthawk AXE7800 ($339). No more random, annoying internet disconnects/slowness.
  4. Books ($0 @ library)
    • "Ultralearning" - Scott Young (how to learn efficiently)
    • "Enlightenment Now" - Steven Pinker (the world overall is improving)
    • "The Bogleheads' Guide to Investing" - Taylor Larimore (how to invest)
  5. PS5 ($500). So many great games like witcher 3, god of war, spiderman.

I'm searching for some more deep value purchases. Give me what you've got.

Lodge Cast Iron - Haven't replaced my skillets and pots just make sure you know how to clean them.

Vacuum Sealer and Sous Vide - Perfect steak every time.

Lodge cast irons last forever. I rarely use my non-stick pans anymore. Make sure you spend time seasoning your lodge to get the non-stick properties.

I just got one of their cast iron woks. I've loved using it to cook.

I hate cast iron. It takes a mighty scrub and triple wash to remove grease from it. It’s like a grease magnet or something.

[–] crumblenaut 5 points 1 year ago

That's the thing - you don't really want to remove the grease.

Wipe it with a paper napkin to clean it and you're set.

Weird, my cast iron foes clean with hot water and a brush
