I always loved cooking, especially for my Father but when he passed it all stopped. Cooking for myself seemed pointless. Until I re-discovered Visions Cookware. I tried Visions in the 90s and hated it. But I fell in love with it this time around, the beauty of it! Cooking became fun again!

I'm no chef but I love to cook! I love all sorts of cookware old and new. I love all kinds of food! I love other stuff too! Hopefully in my sharing there might be something you enjoy.

If there is anything you'd like to see, let me know.
As always, Thanks for watching!

That's pretty cool. I looked this up because I want to try to find a non-stick multi-clad pan like All-Clad or something expensive where the non-stick is all wasted and just remove it. Then I can just use it like a regular stainless steel pan.

Great video and completely concur with your verdict (Progresso tastes better but Campbell's is a healthier option). I personally buy Campbell's over Progresso tomato soups because of all the sodium and corn syrup Progresso has in it. At my age (54), I have to start watching my sodium and sugar intake and other things I put into my body. I found (and recommend everyone try it) if you add 4-6 drops of Tabasco Sauce to your Campbell's tomato soup and stir well just before you remove it from the heat, it adds the "special flavor" Campbell's tomato soup is missing and it will taste even better than Progresso. Again, great video and you are absolutely right, there I'm NOTHING BETTER than grilled cheese and tomato soup on a rainy day.

Hormel Mary’s kitchen is hands down the best out of these 4 imo. For anyone watching this video who has never tried CB hash before, do not cook it in the oven! I’ve never heard of anyone doing that before seeing this. Listen to the directions on the can and get it nice and crispy on the stove in a pan.
@xetaprime
@xetaprime 2 дня назад
Ok. For the record, I fry my CB hash in a skillet. But I didn't have 4 identical skillets and I wanted them all done at the same time. Plus there are plenty of vintage print ads where CB hash is baked. But I agree, fried toasty in a pan is tops :)

Hi Ikura! I have a set of Mardi Gras flatware with white handles. No one is sure if its bakelite or another type of plastic (nylon?). Do you know if I can use the method described in your video to clean Bakelite??? The white handles look dirty and I suspect could be a brighter white. Thanks so much!! Mary
@xetaprime
@xetaprime 5 дней назад
If it's nylon I don't think Mothers Mag will work. Mothers works on hard plastics, not just bakelite. For example the avocado colored plastic on my blender, polished beautifully! My advice is to pick up some Mothers because it's a wonderful polish and give it a test. Or, test a small area on one piece with 800 grit sand paper. Soft plastic doesn't sand well at all. Maybe you don't need to sand? Wish I could help. I did look up Madi Gra flatware, they may be hard plastic most likely... Good luck!
