When we were on holiday, we washed all our walking boots-which were rather`fragrant`- in the jacuzzi. They came up lovely!

I suppose someone is going to say that`s not what the jacuzzi is for, but so what, it did the job!

I wash Crocs and flip flaps in the washing machine - does that count?

Yes, you can , but they may cost £100+ each to replace. Not sure about you but I have no wish to replace pans which will continue to be passed down the generations and last at least 100 years more, as long as they never get put in a DW along route

heirloom pans??

really .. you think your descendents will want your pans...

I am utterly howling.. thats pretty much the funniest thing I've ever read/heard..

you can still buy pans.

I'm not quite sure you grasp the "buying a pan for life" consept. We don't buy supermarket pans that are annually replaceable. We buy them for life, or until someone actually finds a way to destroy one :rotfl:

I've only ever bought two pan sets in my entire life (I'm almost 50 now) the first being cheapie disposable ones whilst in Uni (actually my sister paid for those) - then my serious Stella / Le Creuset / ad hoc designer pans that I've accumulated through life - plus pans I've inherited from grandparents etc - none of which are replaceable and would take a hell of a lot of effort destroying.

But then I guess those who frequently buy oven/microwave ready meals have no use use for proper pans, nor know how to treat and preserve them.

As my mum bought her pots and pans from Woolworths they weren't passed down to me and I hope to continue in her footsteps in this regard.:)

Yes, actually. My daughter has requested I bequeath my entire pan set to her in my death. Some of it is generations old. I have an old copper pan that my GG grandmother used to make jams. We still use it annually.

Yeah, I find it relaxing, I can just switch off and day dream or think whilst looking out of the window!

I guess I'm fortunate to come from a long traditional farming family so everything gets passed down until it rots or becomes unusable.

I can think of much better things to be relaxing to than washing up dirty pots :rotfl:

I'm using my granny's roasting tins, some of her knives, her egg cups and some of her spoons

She died in 1978


I shall also be passing on whatever survives to my daughter ( hence non of it sees the dishwasher)

So can I, it isn't my primary source of relaxation! :rotfl:

Out of all the household jobs though, that has to be one of the better ones....now ironing for example, I can't stand doing that! A friend of mine loves it that much (finds it relaxing) that she was seriously considering starting up her own ironing business!
