    Opinions on range cookers

    You pay a premium for range cookers for the twee asthetic and a lot of the mid range products are actually surprisingly poor quality for the money you spend so my advise is don't bother unless you want the look. They are also a pain to keep clean with freestanding sides collecting gubbins.

    I would imagine cleaning up would be a bit of a faff. Sousvide bags always end up proper manky with stuck on proteins and grease. Plastic is always a pain to get fats off of

    Spec me: car for GF

    11k on a 1.0 fiesta. Yikes!! I'd have spent a lot less on an older car and factored in the fact that it's going to get knocked about a bit, but each to their own.

    Best way to prevent rain water entering damaged car door?

    Can you close a piece of compressible packaging foam in the door? That may close up the gap as and when needed, mean you can still open the door and won't dissappear when driving

    As long as you don't care too much about homogeneity and can cope with the weight/ anxiety about breaking the work top or your toes with accidental drops I should add

    Granite Pestle and Mortar or something else/electric?

    Decent sized Granite p&m is great for quick go to for pastes and spices and much less hassle to setup clean and put away than a food processor in my opinion.

    Quest 3 accessories thread

    Glad to hear. I'm fine with the material on the interface it just doesn't sit comfortably on my face which seems to be a common issue. My main intent with the das was to stop my wife complaining about the noise as the speakers are quite annoying to others in the room.
