Not an appliance, but several years ago my parents bought me new pots and pans which I just finally took out of the box. I liked my old pots and pans. I wish I had opened them up back when I got them because I would like to take them back. I do not like them. They are heavy and have very long handles making it difficult to pick them up. I made oatmeal in one this morning and had to sit the pot back down because it got too heavy while I was trying to get the oatmeal out of it. They are also higher than my old pots. I am short, 4'8", and it is kind of difficult for me to see in to some of the pots. Thinking of going back to using my old pans, just do not know what to do with the "new" ones. Plus not sure how to tell my parents I do not like the pots.

I LOVE my instant pot. I used it 3 times today. It quickly makes the best Summer Squash! I use it all the time since I bought it. The most tender meat ever in short time.

Then ask if they would like to have them back, or perhaps you have another sibling or friend to give to, or a Church to donate to for their bazaar. No point trying to force yourself to use them for fear of hurting your parent's feelings and having a second set taking up lots of space. |

Kitchen appliances??? Getting a new dishwasher ... don't want one. Want the old one to keep working so I don't have to spend the money!! But since it will cost upwards of $300 to repair and it's already 6 and a half years old it's being replaced. Meanwhile I'm getting dishpan hands while we wait for the delivery next week.

I've had an Instant Pot for about a year. I use it for basic stuff. DH cooks steel cut oatmeal in it and I cook rice in it. I actually want to find some recipes to make other stuff with it. I'm on the IP group on Facebook and found it overwhelming. I really need to look at it more and find some actual recipes. I remember one thing I was going to make - I think just cooking a couple of chicken breasts - and I didn't have a pan of the right size to put in the Instant Pot. I need to figure that out.

They are just clear glass, but very nice. I expected only a set of 4 (very big, big, medium, small), but he bought me those plus a set of very very small bowls that almost look like what a doll would use. The smallest bowl is so small it could only hold maybe a tablespoon of spices. I don't know when I'll ever use that! ----- I have a very small glass one, too. I use it for a face cleansing scrub concoction I saw on the internet. Organic coconut oil and baking soda. I only use it at night. |

Perhaps I will just quietly donate them. |

I have a large convection toaster oven and I use that more than my big oven. I can even bake cakes in it and make meatloaf. I think I use my oven once a year at Thanksgiving. |

Limefan, I have a set of cookware, that I swear, you have to be a bodybuilder to use and enjoy. I can not make gravy in the skillet and hold it and scrape it out, seriously. So I feel your pain. Its not the handles, but the bottoms are so heavy that they are just too awkward to use. They will never wear out.
