The 'I've found a bargain' thread

[Nice65]

Good find!

They're really good value mate. Delivering a big chunk of cast iron like that for £20 was a no brainer purchase for me.

The friend who has one wiped it with oil and put it in the oven for a second seasoning, and he's never had any sticking. I've not bothered, I've given it a good wash in hot water and a very scant rub with an oiled cloth and I'm convinced it'll be just fine.

Should you buy one, I have a PDF of excellent recipes that I can email to you. To start you off, Blooming Onion Bread. I really need to get mine cooking this season.

Excellent, I'll have to wait a bit longer until I can order that badboy but I intend to very soon .
I'd be very grateful if you would email that recipe book mate, I'm not a great cook but I can read and follow simple instructions ...

Thank you Bud!

That is a quality find! Nice one.

PMd email address in the hope of this excellent PDF of recipes!

Sent.

Mods, is there any way to put a PDF on here, or a link to it?

Done Leshy. Might be an idea to remove your email if you don't want spam bots grabbing it.

If anyone needs the PDF, drop me a PM with an email and I'll send it straight on for you.

If anyone wants the PDF of Dutch Oven recipes, drop me a PM with your email. Annoyingly I can't link to it, but there's some good stuff in there.

Has anyone tried one of these in anger yet? I see lots of posts online stating it's rubbish or unethical yet not getting as far as actually buying one.

A well meaning person bought one for me. Held up to the light it is obvious that in places there is no/sparse 'Down' filling. I've yet to use it, but I believe it will end up a 'liner' to boost a proper 3 season bag, as it's lighter and thinner than some synthetic liners that I use in 3 season bags in really cold weather.

I got one of these a little while ago (I paid £40 ) but it's been way too cold to use it. It's pretty much exactly what you'd expect from a crazy cheap down bag; patchy fill, dodgy stitching, thin, poor quality zip, small, etc. Give the weather a month to warm up and I'll have a night out with it. I'm hoping, and predicting, that it'll be a little bit warmer than my snugpak softie 3 that's showing it's (20 year plus) age. I'll let you know.

Not quite sure if this one will come good or not.
Even paying the Revenue men their fee, I reckon $50 for a pressure canner is a bargain

Presto are well known!
Is it a model you can use as a pressure cooker?
Some canning cookers are low pressure.

Today I bought a 12 inch cast iron frying pan with high sides.
CI 35 (= USD 42) for a serious piece of American Iron!

I went throught the £1 bin at a local suplus warehouse today. I got about 4 or 5 DPM bergens, roll mat, 2 aluminiun cots, mosqito net and poles and best of all a Karrimor condor 80-130 in resonable condition.

All a £1 each, the bergens will provide loads of buckles and zips all which normally cost £1's each.
