hey guys.

so i've gotten a few hundred dollars on a gift card for IKEA.

anyone have any experience with IKEA cookware?

the pans, casserole dishes, pizza pans, etc.

worth the money?

or should i spend the money on other things like furniture/furnishings.,

If you're having doubts about your ability to cave in someone's skull with it, it isn't any good.

Buy some rubbish cabinets instead.

Actually, even better idea:

Buy as many of the $2 hotdog/cup of drinks as possible.

Buy furniture man, I've got half a kitchen full of Ikea pots and pans that my housemate bought; they are flimsy, thin (so they heat up too fast but don't hold the heat. Horrible to cook on) and fall apart. I went to the thrift shop and picked up some quality cast iron pots and thick bottom pans for next to nothing. So what if it looks like a Hobo is cooking on my stove, he's a Hobo that's cooking well.

You could pick up some sets of glasses and some cutlery though. They go alright and it's nice to have matching shit when girls come over or a few clean glasses of the same type when you want a drink.

i was looking at their 'senior' range,
or the higher ranges.

ie. $40 or 50 for a pan,
$80 for a large casserole dish.


they have cheap stuff though.
i've bought alot of spice jars, wooden spoons, tea towels, etc from there.

you better try some of their meatballs. dayum, theyre good

Go for stuff like microwaveable glassware/earthenware. Unlike stovetop cookware, there are some standards every manuf has to adhere to.

Or, as Ed Lister mentioned, get a few sets of cutlery/glasses so you won't look like a restaurant shoplifter whenever you have guests.

Buy the largest possible volume of cushions or pillows or something fluffy and soft you can for the money. Fill and entire room with it.

I don't think much of their cookware. Their crockery, on the other hand, is perfectly functional (doesn't take much to be that for crockery) and looks pretty fine too. Or the little Tupperware style containers. You can never have too many of those.

Or you can see if you can spend it all in the restaurant. I had some of their meatballs earlier today. I have to find a recipe for them now.
