You're right. If I want or need something I will buy it. I have a number of
things that people have given me that I just don't use. What I do like to
get is treats, like good wine or good liquor, special jams and jellies etc.

Yep. Good cooks can never have too many ingredients, particularly pricey
ones: Smithfield ham, a trio of (overpriced) olive oils, etc.

A bottle of Chambord liqueur would be nice. It's very nice for
flavoring whipped cream.

I agree. I'd just give them a gift certificate to a store that they
love to shop at.

A gift card to Penzey's, Sweet Celebrations, or the like, or to a
local (for them) supermarket or kitchen gear store.

Ezzackly. The last thing I'd buy for a doll collector or a widget
collector or a train collector is a doll, a widget, or a train. OTOH,
if I knew they had a hit list -- (the train collector did), I'd write a
check and specify that it go towards something on the hit list.

That's maybe not the best idea for someone you don't know well, but I
don't buy expensive gifts for people I don't know (and not usually for
people I do know, either). I give consumable goods to my friends --
gift baskets of homemade jams, jellies, candies, maybe a small
holiday-theme 'something' -- I've run across a line of cute glycerine
soaps that I give, a small loaf of homemade bread. AND I give the gift
on St. Nicholas Day (December 6) so there's plenty of time for them to
re-wrap and give it to someone else for Christmas if they wish. I try
to be practical. :-)

I like to receive stuff that I'd buy for myself, too, especially if it's
money I spend grudgingly. My daughter gives me a gift card to the salon
where I have maintenance and repair work done. :-) Son has given me
iTunes cards, Apple store cards. Lots of places will let you select
something from a website and send the link to a (likely) gift-giver as a
"hint." Works for me. Amazon lets you make a wish list.

I REALLY like being surprised with something and the best thing is when
I've mentioned, maybe in July, something I'd like to have and it's been
remembered and appears at holiday gift-giving time.

But that's just my fi'ty cents worth.

Hear, hear!! I love Office Max! I'm going to have Coldwater Creek
engraved on my tombstone: "We miss her so very much." And I am never
offended by a check or Visa-type gift card to use wherever I want to.

The best practical gift I've received in the last two years is the
Braun Multi-mix, model M880. Look it up. I use it at least twice a
week.

Who wouldn't want a "deluxe hamburger press"?!! $3.99 $4121.

Been using one for years. They're great! Broke one after a couple years of
use but I got my money's worth and a quick replacement.

Dishwasher safe. Doesn't warp. Easy ejector.

I'd never need to make that many burgers, but I love the website -
whoda thunk I could find a pastry board as big as I wanted (even
though the oak slab I got from the lumber yard and sanded and put a
handle on one end so I could hang it up between my fridge and the wall
in between uses was only $11)....? ;-)

And if you go to the actual store in Philly, they have everything on their
website in stock and mysteriously know where everything is!

I always stop in and HAVE to buy something. It's the darndest thing about
self-control going out the window when I enter their store.

I've got my eye on one of those bacon presses on the same page.

But in all honesty, if someone really wanted to give me a kitchen
gift, I'd like a real roasting pan with handles. I'm thinking of a
stainless steel one, but if someone gave me copper.... I wouldn't turn
it down! LOL! http://i3.tinypic.com/6jcg480.jpg "Dishwasher safe.

That's what I told Scott I wanted for christmasl A real one that's
heavy so that I can roast, then put it on the stove to make gravy. Not
the thin aluminum, black with white speckles one that I have....I've
never tried it on the stove, but I think it's probably too thin.

If what you're talking about is the broiler pan that comes with the
oven, don't worry.... it's fine. That's my regular roasting pan and I
put it on the stove burner to make gravy with no ill effects. Relax!

No, it's just a roasting pan. Oval shaped, about 9 inches deep. Has a
matching cover. I don't actually have a broiler pan. About as thick as
those teflon Wilton baking pans.

Hey, it's *covered*! Sounds good to me. I wouldn't pout. I think
anything you want to braise would do well in it.

Heinkel <SP??> makes a nice braising pan...a non=stick with a metal lid
it circular with a black non-stick coating. I use it for general purpose
frying and of coursr braising. It is reasonably thick and evenly
dispurses heat.

I've seen those, but the copper peined ones are so much more glamorous!

How many can I wrap up for you?

We often use the large cast iron skillet as a roasting pan. Works very well
and can easily be deglazed on the stove. We also have a Tratimonia pan from
Wal Mart that is heavy aluminum. We bought it maybe 10 years ago so they may
no longer have them. It was a good value at the time.
