That is the thing with kitchen lovers. At first you just want to have all of them. Then you want to have specific colours. Then you want to have only one brand. No be juju be that?

Big juju . it’s like you’re in my mind. I was going to go for all Kitchenaid with appliances and lecrueset for pans/pots.

Now I’m obsessed with smeg but I can’t justify throwing good quality stuff out just to have a new aesthetic. But they are so pretty I can’t stop thinking about them. And their prices are not crazy

GboyegaD:


I have. The only times I bought bread last year and this year are the first week of relocation. I enjoy making our bread and truly, so mixer would make it more convenient.

Will go ahead to get it.

You’ll enjoy it.

If you shop Costco, they have kenwood on sale. This is a coveted brand as you know and they are taking $110 off on discount. Everything and shipping included.
Good deal if you ask me.

They also have a good deal on kitchen aid but they didn’t have the color I wanted so I bought from the manufacture directly. Costco always has good discounts so check them out

I know as e dey go na. We dey the same group, but you be our group admin.

I have never hears of Smeg. Kitchenaid and Le Creuset are very hyped here. They are beautiful too, but totally off my budget.

I eat Amala for the first time in a restaurant called obalende today .I am seriously thinking about marrying Yoruba girl

Are you in Awka?

armyofone:
All the gadgets we accumulated - mine has been decorating one side for a while. Christmas thingz only... i bring them out to make something for coworkers and friends.
So busy and not crazy about food that I rarely do the things I bought them for.

Of all - I still use bullet often. Juicer dey one corner
Toaster only Saturday or Sunday
Deep frier dey one corner i don't know where lol
Others...I just arranged them well in the cupboard.
You give away and then buy another new one - unless you haven't visited the store

If only I can go to my neighbors and take theirs to use then I will just be gadgets free.

GboyegaD:


Reading your post and that of armyofone is making me feel discouraged from buying a mixer. I wanted to mainly because of bread making but may reconsider since brioche bread is the major reason I need it.

Don't waste your money. It's not worth it.

Mine is for decoration as well. And to think I was so excited to grab it.

Haven't baked in a Yr. Hubby that does once in a while said it's too complicated to use. Wasted money.

They are costly because of exchange

In naija, there is this pots that sisi yemi use. Have forgotten the name but it's the preferred dutch oven those lekki people use. Produced in South Africa.
(That woman made money but the usual naija show-off happened. She invested in le creuseut and co later but I don't know who she was trying to impress when ordinary Nigerians who watch her show don't care about those kind of things. Stopped watching her when the show off became too much. She later confessed she saved nothing)

In all I still believe that the best pot to invest in is quality stainless aluminium pots. Even wok. Easier to wash, use as you want. Doesnt demand for seperate utensils when cooking. And yeah the most expensive from well known companies if one want to go for them but whether expensive or cheap, still the best

Easy easy

Smeg was invented for American celebrities.

I have to be sincere, it's from this thread I know people invest in cooking pots, and it's amusing.


Still nice though

paschal47:



Are you in Awka?

yes

Yes people do. A lot, especially ladies.

I don't rate a lady with designer wears and car. Nope. Your kitchen sums you up for me.
If you have upgraded your life, also upgrade your kitchen especially cooking utensils. It's a breath of fresh air and joy to behold.
Kitchen should be the neatest and the most inviting part of your house not a bedroom.

For my ladies, a lady can sum a guy up when she visits by checking out the kitchen and sitting room Don't be in a haste to enter the bedroom. It has nothing to offer you if you are planning to stay.

Off to the market tomorrow to equip my kitchen, maybe that's why the ladies have been leaving.


Can you draft a list of things to buy?

Wilson212:
yes

You visited Obalende at Abakiliki street

Cool

paschal47:

yes bro

Wilson212:
yes bro

Wait first! There's an amala joint called Obalende on Abakaliki street in Awka, Anambra state?

But their prices are similar to kitchenaid. Even lower sometimes. The appliances are just smaller and look more sleek. I love the aesthetics

Babe don’t discourage him. Those mixers last decades. I feel it’s better than replacing a mixer once every few years. And he bakes a lot. He would probably use it more than us

It's called obalende garden. A restaurant.
Everything yoruba

I think a yoruba guy who has been in awka for long opened it.
Read about it here.

You are very right.

Bros, pls don't mind lazy me. At least he bakes.

Smeg for the ladies

The company know what they are doing.
Now, you are hooked

Hahahahahaha
That is interesting. And quite creative too.
If I were based in Awka, my curiosity would definitely be aroused and I'd want to try out the place.

For what they were going for, I think it should've been called Shitta, since Shitta is best known for amala, while Obalende is known for suya.

I’m indeed hooked

But I don’t actually need anything so I’ll exercise self control. Maybe just a kettle and that’s it.
The movers lost my Arabian looking kettle. I guess I can use that as my excuse to get a smeg one.
