ChrisT Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 I'm stumped about what to get my husband for x-mas. Perhaps you could tell me about something you got in the past that was cool. I'm desperate and about to hit the mall. Arghhhh! Real (not x-rated) suggestions appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allthumbs Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 We don't know your husband. Most married men I know bitch the most about a lack of connubial bliss (if you get my drift). So my choice if I was married would be for daily scroggin' for a full year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glen Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Just say "NO" to malls. Â Power tools. Ice tools. Gear. Cragging backpack (as opposed to trask's shagging backpack). Gear. Tools. Gear. Tools... Â And, of course... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT Posted December 19, 2002 Author Share Posted December 19, 2002 ok - to the males who like to cook a lot and are hooked on the Food Network - any special "tool" or gadget make your life (in the kitchen) easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off_White Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 If you're thinking cooking related stuff, I like a really good knife: its an indispensible tool and a high quality one makes the job more pleasant. I mean, who doesn't like big hunks of sharp steel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 (edited) ChrisT-- Â If he's like me he wants some off set aliens, a 4.5 camalot and a pair of good gloves to wear ice climbing. Â Maybe a titanium ice axe? Extravagance! Â RE Kitchen gadgets, juicers are cool. So are dehydrators for preparing backpacking foods. Maybe a fuzzy logic rice cooker?

jules Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 Hey, ChrisT, My SO was ogling the paella pans at The Spanish Table in Pike Place Market. Maybe throw in some rice and seasonings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg_W Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 (edited) Can't go wrong with Calphalon pans or Henkel knives; I love mine. I agree with Off White - who doesn't love a new knife; 6" or 8" chef's knife is a good versatile tool. Got a cleaver? That's a good hunk of steel, baby. Or, two words: barbecue tools.

sk Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 I got a great chef knife from my dad last year for x-mas and I totaly love it. If you have good big knife and one good pairing knife you realy don't need anything else... except for a crappy knife for other people to use in your kitchen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeclimb9 Posted December 19, 2002 Share Posted December 19, 2002 I don't have a TV, so I can't watch Food Network, but I do enjoy throwing out the killer chow. What's a cool gadget depends on what you like to cook. I've got a $20 ricer that's indespensible for making gnocci and comes in handy for the mashed spuds. An insulated carafe for coffee is something I use almost daily as are the couple of 9" and 10" blade Henckel knives. A recipe book from which you could prepare stuff together is always a good gift. If you don't have a cast iron skillet, it's the best way to cook a steak (30 seconds on each side on the top burner, then a about 5 minutes in a 500 degree oven. 3 minutes to rest. Awesome every time). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
