The best promo though that New World ever did was a long time ago, in the late 90s when I lived in Blenheim. They had these Optica pots and pans from France. Heavy stainless steel with blue glass lids. I only managed to get enough spent to score the smallest pot but years later came across a full set on Trademe for $50 and grabbed them. Added a couple of medium saucepans to those since, but oh they are fabulous things to use. And still shiny and bright after decades of use. I have replaced a couple of knobs and the odd handle, but the lids and bodies are still going strong. I love them so much I stack them on a shelf rather than hide them in a cupboard. Lifetime kitchenware those things. Love love love.
Ohh Ok.. I wouldn't like them then.
Love having nice cookware. I had just brought two new frying pans before the Set came out last year. So all but the roasting dish are still unused.
I have some nice pots picked up at the oppies and recycle center, but once they start misbehaving then Ill break out the nice stuff.
Being only me and I seldom have people stay, I really dont need all the kitchen stuff I have.. but in saying that Im really pleased I have alot of china. then the dishwasher waits for a week sometimes before I use it lol.
I will probably have a cull if I move into the boarding situation that we planted the seeds in on Monday.
And I really dont need all my corning ware either. I have double ups from the same shops, and I only actually use a couple of them.
Always loved china, from being a kid. And my Stepfather was the same so department stores with big selection was sa passion we shared lol
