Reddit mentions: The best sesoning & spice tools

>In my perfect world, they would introduce a spicy variant. Man oh man I really hope that's coming down the line.

Yeah, that would be good.

I've tried all 3 as well, here's my thoughts:

1. The noodles were better than expected, based on other people's reviews. If you expect the equivalent of a gluten-free noodle (even though they're not GF), you won't be surprised. Different, but not bad.
   
2. Easy to cook. Boil water, cook for a few minutes. Easy peasy. I may have to invest in an electric kettle just out of sheer laziness (haven't tried the microwave method yet).
   
3. I'd equate the soup flavor to store-brand soup. Pretty mellow. That's not a bad thing, as that gives you an easy foundation to build off of with your own flavorings & mix-ins.
   
4. All of them had a bitter note to them. Well, almost bitter. Bordering bitter. I'm guessing that's the vitamin pack, maybe? I dunno. Sipping the broth at the end of the meal was when that aspect was particularly pronounced.
   
   So as far as mods go:
   
   
5. Sriracha is your friend! As are Red Boat fish sauce, hoisin sauce, etc. if you're into sauces.
   
6. Sous-vide is the way to go for perfect soft-boiled eggs (good for like 5 days in the fridge, if you want to do a make-ahead meal)
   
7. I got a really great, simple veggie dicer gizmo (manual, not electric) for twenty bucks off Amazon a couple years ago. Onions, carrots, etc. are all super-easy to dice up, and can also be prepped ahead. I also just bought this mini mandoline from Amazon as well, which is another super easy way to up your fresh-veggie game (texture + color FTW!). Zucchini, radishes, spring onions, etc. can all turn into mini-frisbees with this thing with like a minute's worth of work. Having cubes & discs of veggies is a really simple way to take Vite-Ramen to the next level, especially if you spend five minutes twice a week doing some make-ahead meal-prep so you can just dump them into your soup.
   
   So an easy Vite-Ramen modification procedure goes like this:
   
   
8. Pre-cook some soft-boiled eggs using sous-vide (up to 5 days in advance, if you shock them & stick them in the fridge after cooking).
   
9. Pre-chop a variety of veggies for the week in little ziploc bags or reusable plastic containers (currently doing this twice a week, to keep them fresh post-chopping).
   
10. Get a variety of sauces.
    
11. = cook the Vite-Ramen, +drop in a pre-cooked egg, +stir in a sauce (or two), and +dump some pre-chopped veggies in. Voila! Extremely low-effort, highly-nutritious, flavor-boosted meal!
    
    Yeah, it's not quite like falling off a log, like with the instant noodles, but these are noodles actually good for you (not deep-fried + has actual nutrition content) & with a few simple preparation tweaks, you can actually create a really nice meal! I will definitely be buying another box to keep on-hand! I may try adding part of a chicken or beef bouillon cube to a future bowl as well.

1. An Instant Pot above everything else. Because it cooks food super fast even for fall off the bone tenderness. And is really easy to clean and operate.
   
   
2. Buy microwavable steamer bags. You want to cook potatoes, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, or just about any veggie? Cut it into chunks, shove it into a steamer bag with a sprinkle of water, seal it, and microwave it for 3-4 minutes, and you have perfectly cooked veggies. No mess to clean up, and you can't get faster than this. Even if you want to sautee or stir fry veggies, it is often a good idea to parboil or part-cook the veggies in a steamer bag, and then just get your pan ripping hot, add oil, and toss the half cooked veggies for a minute, with spices and herbs.
   
   
3. Meal prep on weekends. The biggest pain of cooking is actually in the prepping and the cleaning up after. Prepping or "mise en place" can also be done on the weekends where you can chop all your veggies and put them in airtight containers. Cooking then becomes super easy because everything is chopped up and ready to go. I chop my onions, garlic, ginger, tomatoes, cilantro, bell peppers, carrots other veggies like cauliflower or broccoli on Sundays. Buy a bunch of mid-sized airtight storage containers and store your mise en place in that.
   
   
4. For the weekend meal prepping, the chopping gets tedious. I've been experimenting with various labor saving devices. A mandoline works really well for large scale chopping. You can slice everything in a mandoline and then fine dice the slices into really small dice. Or keep them as slices. But this onion chopper is super useful too. It will dice an onion in seconds. I also use it to dice bell peppers and tomatoes.
   
   
5. Buy a box of peeled garlic and freeze it. When you need garlic, just take out a few cloves of the peeled frozen garlic and chop it directly. Bonus is that frozen garlic doesn't stick to the knife like fresh garlic. And frozen garlic tastes exactly like fresh garlic so there's no loss of flavor either.
   
   
6. Buy a handheld stick blender. It comes in super handy to make sauces and soups. Buy one that has a reasonably powerful motor. i have a 500W overkill one but 200W should also be fine.
   
   
7. Buy an tabletop toaster oven, not a toaster. A toaster oven is super super versatile. It takes only a few minutes to preheat to 350F or 400F if you need to use it as an oven. It also works great to reheat pizza and fried chicken. And of course, it will toast.
   
   
8. People tend to get overly fussy and pendantic over knives. I say this as someone who has close to 10 knives. Look, you can go the whole shebang and get a honing rod and whetstones and expensive knives and all that. But the truth is that you need a chef knife (240mm ideally), a smaller utility knife (180mm), a paring knife, and a good peeler. And you need to keep the knives fairly sharp at all times. And you can do this buy buying a popular recommended value for money knife like Victorinox Fibrox or any other. My favorite is a Richmond Artifex gyuto made with AEBL steel from ChefKnivesToGo. But you can buy any knife that you find comfortable in your hands. And if you're not going to geek out on knives but use it as a tool, just get a $5 knife sharpener like this one and ignore the honing steel and sharpening stone recommendations. It does the job fairly fine and takes seconds to keep the knife reasonably sharp.

I don't know that I'll be much help, since I'm not familiar with UK vendors, but a couple of general questions:

• About how many polishes does she have? This will drive how big of a box/rack/set of drawers she needs.
  
• Do you live near an Ikea? If so, and if she has a ton of polish, these drawers are incredibly popular for people with large collections. They can hold approx. 500 bottles of polish!
  
• Is she able to wall-mount anything where she lives? For example, spice racks like these are fairly popular for polishes, but (obviously) she needs to be able to wall mount it.
  
• Are there any particular brands that you know of that she likes? Does she wear a lot of bright, glittery polishes, or does she tend to be fairly conservative with her nails?
  
  If she likes doing nail art, you may want to check out MoYou London. They have stamping plates and other nail art supplies. Nail stamping is the process of applying polish to an engraved metal plate, scraping excess polish off of the design, and then picking up the polish left in the design and transferring it to the nail.
  
  If you think stamping is something she'd be interested in, you could pick up a few of the image plates from MoYou (they have a TON of different designs, and are good quality), as well as a stamper like this one or this one. Those same stampers can be found cheaper on Amazon or Ebay (direct from Hong Kong or China), but they'll probably take longer than 2 weeks to get to you. MoYou took less than 2 weeks to get from the UK to the US when I ordered, so it should be pretty quick for you.
  
  I'm sure she'll love whatever you pick up; all of us love having S/Os that support or enable our nail habits :)

I took a class on making blitz puff pastry at the King Arthur Flour site in VT, and it was AMAZING. It gave me so much confidence and really helped me learn a technique that I don't know I could have mastered otherwise. You might not be able to get to their site, but I highly recommend taking a baking class or two somewhere. It will be money very well spent. Pastries (and pie crusts) are a good place to start because the results are so impressive and rewarding!


I'm sure you've heard it lots, but baking is much more about precision than cooking. It's critical that you know how to measure and work with your ingredients, because as you saw with your biscuits, you can follow the recipe and still end up with junk. That's where a real education is so valuable.




With that being said, my new favorite baking tool is [this OXO bench knife.] (https://www.amazon.com/OXO-Multi-purpose-Stainless-Scraper-Chopper/dp/B00004OCNJ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1478832207&sr=8-1&keywords=oxo+bench+scraper) It's perfect for cutting through cold butter with next to 0 effort, and really helps make perfectly straight lines. It helps as you're working with dough to slide under so it doesn't stick to your surface. And probably my favorite part is that it also doubles as a ruler.




You'll want a rolling pin too, and I recommend a simple french style pin. The best deal I've found is from Walmart, about $6. Don't spring for the gimmicks like teflon or steel, they're just frustrating and pointless.

I've really been eyeing this polish/nail accessories organizer on Amazon for quite a while, but it's kinda expensive and out of all the upcoming expenses and household organization items I'd like to get, it would be for me, so it's kinda the lowest priority.

I've also been eyeing this spice rack organizer for a while because everything is just kinda shoved in our spice cabinet right now and I always have to end up taking everything out of the cupboard to see what we have in back and then it turns out we don't have what I was looking for anyway. Sigh

Hubby and I were hoping to take the kids and check out the apple festival this weekend, but I've just been put on medical leave from work and am not sure traipsing all around the festival might not be the smartest idea ever. Thinking about suggesting the Children's Museum to him though because I need to go all the way downtown to get some stuff off my work e-mail and the Children's Museum is right there and our season passes to that are still good, so it would be free. It is relatively contained, so I would be able to sit and rest as needed while he keeps an eye on the kiddos.

My favorite part of fall is Halloween, especially now that the kiddos are old enough to enjoy it. I think I know what we are hoping to do for my daughter's costume, but I have no clue what to do for my son's!

Feel free to browse my various WLs and surprise me if I'm lucky enough to win!

just for funsies

Thank you for the contest!

Knife sets are generally recommended against around these parts, as you'll usually end up with a bunch of medium-quality knives you don't need for an inflated price tag. I'd recommend using the money to get one really nice chef's knife, a paring knife, and a cheap bread knife. Go for other specialty stuff if you need it - but this covers 99% of use cases. I've heard that Shun's are perfectly nice but perhaps a tad overpriced; I have a Masakage Kiri which has been serving me extremely well.

All Clad totally rules. I've been slowly building my collection of tri-ply. Well worth it. Same comment about sets - only go for it if you really want each piece. Cast iron skillets are fun but I'm not sure I would insist everyone go out and buy one.

Can't comment on the Dutch oven - I have a non-enameled Lodge cast iron, and if I had to start over I'd get an enameled one. Either the Staub or Le Creuset will serve you well.

Highly highly recommend the Thermapen, as already commented. Depending on what else you like to do - consider a good wood cutting board, a bench scraper, and some nice baking sheets / trays. Enjoy!

I love this idea!!! I don't know if I have anything mind-blowing to offer but here are a few wonderful items I've come across:

Cleaning pens/soaking them? I use an old Copa Di Vino glass. It's plastic with a lid and about the perfect size for pens. I use it for my Ahab and Safari pens among others. If you hate wine you can always pour it out. The container with the wine is just a few bucks and worth it:

Also my favorite tutorial on repairing Esterbrook fountain pens. I love Esterbrooks because they are simple to repair and inexpensive. It's a great buy for anyone dipping their toe into older fountain pens and restoration:

> I use my grinder

What grinder do you use? I can't even use my grinder or it's too fine. I have a large grinder too. I was told by FF customer service to only take the herb apart by hand for the best results and not to grind it. I have two grinders: Zip Grinders - Large Herb Grinder - Four Piece with Pollen Catcher and The Bulldog Metal 4-Part Grinder. I use the Zip grinder the most as it's larger but it's still too fine for the FF2.

> then I take deep slow draws that i'm used to taking

First I was told I was pulling too hard because I could hear the air/wind pulling through it and a noise. No matter how hard or light I inhale, I almost always get the wind noise. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to pull harder or less because people keep telling me contradictory things.

> I get great results quite easily

I wish I did. I'm pretty pissed that I spent so much money on a vape and it doesn't work half the time or takes 10 minutes to finally get my first hit. Half the time I get it set up and when I exhale, there's no cloud. It's getting really frustrating as I have a lot of bills and had to save up for a while to buy it and it's still easier and quicker to smoke out of my bong.

> To be honest the FF2 is probably the best concentrate vaporizer I've ever used, for dry herb there's a lot more work

I've never used concentrates but I would imagine that the FF2 works much better for concentrates than flower, just how the device is set up. I'm hoping to find a vape that's easy to work for flower and isn't so damn picky but everyone keeps saying different things.

Scissors and a shot glass will get your bud as fine as you need, but it's a little time/labor intensive to chop up enough to pack a couple of bowls. If you can get around $20 together, you can get yourself this, which I use almost every day from Amazon. Grinds bud perfectly and has a screen for collecting kief, the sweet sweet trichomey THC covered nectar of the gods.

If you're worried about someone on a joint bank account seeing the credit card transaction, most CVS/Walgreens/similar drug stores sell these things called MoneyPaks which allow you to add credit directly to a PayPal account. You can even pay for them in cash!

Good luck frient, have an excellent day.

Probably the most important factor in working with pie dough is keeping it at the right temperature. If it's too warm, it'll get sticky and hard to work with, the butter will melt, and your crust won't turn out flaky. In order to keep my dough from warming up, I put a marble slab in the fridge ahead of time to get it cold, then take it out and roll out the dough on it. If you do this, then I recommend rolling out your lattice strips/top crust immediately after finishing your pie shell and putting it in the plate. (If you wait too long between those steps, the slab will warm up.)

Of course, if you don't have a marble slab, you can do other things to keep your dough cold - refrigerate the ingredients, chill the dough in the fridge periodically as you go, and use bags of ice to cool off your countertop. But keep in mind if your dough is too cold (like if it's straight from the fridge after being refrigerated overnight), it'll be difficult to roll out and will crack as you do so. Based on various sources and my own experience, I think the best temperature for rolling out dough is around 60-65°F. If you have to brutally attack the dough with your rolling pin to get it to budge, it's still too cold and needs to sit out longer.

Other advice:

• Use a scale to measure ingredients by weight and an oven thermometer to make sure the oven is the right temperature, if you don't already.
  
• Using pastry strips will ensure you roll out the dough to an even thickness.
  
• Using pastry flour (or a pastry flour blend) will produce a more tender crust than all-purpose flour.
  
• In order to keep dough from sticking, I use a pastry sleeve and cloth, dust them with flour, and put the pastry sleeve on the rolling pin and roll out the dough on top of the pastry cloth (and periodically re-flour the pastry sleeve/cloth). Keep a bench scraper on hand in case you do need to un-stick your dough.
  
• After rolling out your pie shell and top crust/lattice strips, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes, then take it all out, put your pie filling in, and finish assembling it. Then chill again in the fridge before baking. Multiple rounds of chilling will firm up the butter and give the gluten in the dough a chance to relax.
  
• To keep your crust from shrinking, make sure you roll out your dough to a large enough size (the pan's diameter + twice the pan's height, at least). If you roll it out too small and stretch the dough to fit the pie plate, it will end up resisting and shrinking back to its original size. I've had the most success in preventing shrinking when I rolled out my pie dough to be several inches bigger than what I really needed; you can always trim off the excess once it's in the pan.
  
• To make sure your crust gets baked through, put a baking sheet or pizza stone on the bottom rack of the oven, line it with aluminum foil, and pre-heat it. Then put the pie plate on top of that for baking. This will help produce a crisper bottom crust and keep any filling that bubbles over from making a mess in your oven. Note that if you use a baking sheet, darker metal will absorb and distribute heat better than a lighter-colored pan, which is a good thing if you want a crisp pie crust. This is why I put an old, blackened baking sheet under my pies rather than a newer, lighter-colored sheet.
  
• Use a foil ring to protect the crust edges during baking. You can just tear off a big chunk of foil, cut out a circle from the center, and cut around the outside to form a ring that will cover the edges of the pie plate while leaving the center exposed. Put this on the pie 15 minutes into baking, even if the crust edges are not overbrowned at that point.
  
• To prevent a runny filling, I always macerate my fruit for at least a couple of hours. Then I reserve the extra liquid instead of dumping it all into the pie shell. For berry pies, make sure your filling is bubbling thickly by the time you take the pie out of the oven. The bubbles should be gloopy and slow instead of thin/liquid-y and fast, if that makes sense. Finally, let your pie cool off completely before cutting into it.
  
• For blind baking crusts (completely baking an empty pie shell before adding the filling), you need to (a) chill the fully-formed pie shell for at least an hour or two in the fridge in advance, (b) prick the dough all over (bottom and sides) with a fork to discourage it from puffing up, (c) line the pie shell with aluminum foil, and (d) fill the pie shell with weights that come up all the way up the sides to completely fill the pie shell, not just cover the bottom. Most blind-baking instructions say to bake your crust at a high temperature (400-425°F) with weights for around 20 minutes, then remove the weights, put back in and bake for 20 extra minutes. However, ever since I tried baking for an hour at 350°F as outlined here, I've been a total convert to that method. It makes a huge difference in reducing shrinkage and distortion of the crust.
  
  King Arthur Flour also has some good tips for pie baking here and here. Good luck!

If I had $50, and wanted to spend all of it, I'd go with a couple simple things!

1. Grap a decent (like $20 decent) pipe at your local smoke shop. I ended up using mine for a while before I upgraded, but I love it all the same and still go back to it sometimes for the nostalgia!
   
   
2. Grinders make it much easier to smoke joints or blunts! I got this one (http://www.amazon.com/Cali-Crusher-Grinder-Piece-Black/dp/B004VAZ0JQ/ref=sr_1_4?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1425339033&sr=1-4&keywords=grinder) and it hasn't let me down almost a year later! Perfect small size and theres plenty of room to store bud if your on the go!
   
   
3. With a grinder you could pick up some papers with the rest of the money, but lets be real, you can just save it to buy more bud :D
   
   Hopes this is a good start! PM me if you have any more questions and happy toking!

I'm sorry if any of these ideas are stupid or inappropriate . I'm just gonna give you a bunch lol.

  You can get them pretty cheap, and it'd let him play video games in bed. And he can play some relaxing ones like harvest moon, pokemon, or animal crossing.
  Idk if he has the energy to do that though. Or if he likes video games. But emulated games on my phone have been a lifesaver for bordem and stuff.

  -Vegtable chopper and storage thingy
  if he can cook by himself, he won't have to tire himself out using a knife, and can store the veggies he easily preps for his meals.

  That's all I can think of right now... I'll edit if I can think of anything else.

You can get lots of cute ideas from The Container Store, if you're also in the need for storage on top of the vanity.

One of my favorite options is a magnetic board also. You can either get them like this off Etsy, or you can buy a magnetic board at Michaels/Home Depot with some small magnets and DIY. I'm fond of just a plain magnetic board with no covering, too. Looks kind of ... I don't know, rustic? Is that the word? It's really easy to do and ends up saving you counter space.

There's also Fold-out type desks that will save you space. I know you said you now have the room for a full vanity, but space savers give your floor space a clean, modern feel that I personally like. You could even stick a cute lounge chair under it to be used as your makeup chair and reading chair depending on the time of day. :)

If you won't find yourself refinishing an older product, my only concerns would be squeaky drawers (I get goosebumps just thinking about that noise, ew, ew, ew) and paint flaking off if it's previously been painted. Neither of those might bother you. If you can find something kickass at a garage sale or antique shop, that's awesome.

Edit: Don't forget about cake stands for perfumes or other jarred liquids as well. This one is a little gaudy, but you get the idea.

Spice racks for nail polish storage.

Test tube racks for brush storage.

Did I go way off topic? You asked about vanities, and I went mostly with accesorries. Oop.

im not sure if it does international but ive had a good experience with 'brothers with glass' as for rolling papers and grinders and some of the other non smoking related equipment you might want go to amazon, i get all my papers on amazon and its super cheap and awesome, i reccomend raw papers, and heres the grinder i use, its pretty good.

you can get a basic, china made, very cheap 4 piece (top, grinder, grinds catcher, kief catch) aluminum grinder on amazon for like $5. i'd say get that until you know any better.

http://smile.amazon.com/Piece-STYLE-Tobacco-Pollen-Grinder/dp/B0023X32MA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408498410&sr=8-1&keywords=herb+grinder

i do wish it was a little bigger, when i'm grinding up a bunch to fill a bunch of my PnP chambers, i have to fill it back up a few times with stuff to grind, then empty it out and go again.

as far as vapes, since you aren't worried about stealth, i would say actually take a look at the hammer vape. people have said it's similar to a log dekstop vape. we seem to be in love with log vapes like the enano.

the hammer uses a butane flame to heat some pieces of metal. you suck air in over the metal and it blows over your weed, vaporizing all the good stuff.

they are an interesting idea because you can get a butane refill for under $10 and carry it with you. that is enough fuel to do hundreds of bowls. where as the best battery powered vapes would probably get you 5 full bowls, at best.

along those same lines are the lotus. that one is just the chamber, you have to use your own lighter with it. the downside though is they aren't digital, so you can't just press one button and go. you have to let it heat up then inhale at a certain speed. for digital ones, just set to desired level, let it heat, and go to town.

The main thing I use most of the time are just a scale (in grams is best, but it's more about ratios than anything), a dough scraper (something like this, but any flat piece to manipulate the dough will work. It's also very useful for cleaning where you were shaping the bread.). For letting the dough do it's final rise, I cover a flour sack towel (other fabric will work, but you want it smooth enough so the dough doesn't get fuzz in it, but coarse enough for the flour to 'catch' on it) in flour (a mix of wheat and fine rice flour is best, but cornmeal and rice or just lots of wheat flour will work) and line a colander with it. And razors for cutting the dough without it sticking. (putting something like these on a wooden coffee stirrer stick works well, but any razors or sharp blades should be fine.)

Other stuff is nice to have, but not necessary, IMO.

Not sure what your price range is but I recently just bought one on amazon and it's great! 4pc with a great catch for kief. Larger than I thought. Great quality and grinds nice and fine.

Golden Gate Grinder - Amazon

Kuhn Rikon.

I consider it one of the best purchases I've ever made for my kitchen (and it came recommended by America's Test Kitchen/Cook's Illustrated if I remember correctly!)

It's a little expensive, but damn, it works perfectly and is pretty easy to clean in my opinion. I cook with garlic MUCH more frequently after purchasing this. I like to be a purist and use a knife for things... but this was a game changer for me personally. I absolutely love it.

Edit: Here's the link:

BIGGEST HUGEST tip is don't accumulate too much stuff! I definitely do, so I have to discipline myself to purge once in a while.

I recently went through my lotions and bath stuff and I only even cared about maybe 25% of them. So I threw out whatever didn't have much left inside, the rest went into a storage container with a lid and tucked under all the folded towels. (This is so I don't start dragging things out later...I already decided I have too many. When friends or friends with teenage daughters visit, they can take as much of it as they want.) So now I have a reasonable amount of this stuff, but it still looks cluttered on the shelf so I went to the dollar store and got something like this, so I can see everything at once and not knock over a bunch of stuff if I want to pull one item out (this shelf is about at eye level).

De-stashing means I actually use what I love more often, because I can see it (and remember to use it) and I know exactly where it is. It also slows down future purchases (doesn't stop them, but I at least consider where it would fit on my shelves if I bought something because they look so nice now).

Repeat with other areas: books & magazines, clothing, dishes & cookware, toys, etc. Take it slow, it's a lifestyle not an overnight switch.

Also beware of arbitrary storage containers. I've bought plenty of these and it's perfectly okay to just stop and repurpose or donate them when you realize something's not working for you. Like I bought baskets to keep the towels in for the bathroom closet and later realized how much space they were wasting. You don't need to keep using it just because you're thinking of the money you spent on something. Push that from your mind and prioritize your quality of life.

I wrote this when someone else made a post about grinders. My two cents on the issue:

--------------------------

You can get a cheap metal grinder on amazon for like $8. But, as me and my flatmate once discussed, you should take some things into consideration when purchasing a grinder. Do you see yourself smoking for a long time? If you do, a grinder will become a crucial tool for years to come. While buying a $100 Kannastor 3" 5 piece may seem crazy in the short term, owning one will definitely pay off.

What are you looking for in a grinder? If you want something that produces kief, look into four pieces. If you really want options in this regard look into a five piece, which will give you the option of an extra layer of kief refinement (my buddy owns a five piece but usually sets it up as a four).

The next thing is concealability. Sometimes if you're living at home and want to keep your toking a secret, there is no shame in owning a two piece grinder. Space Case and Mendo Mulcher make fucking awesome two pieces that will get the job done(you can sometimes even get mendo factory defects off ebay on the cheap). When you use a two piece, you're leaving more of the kief on the bud and you can work the bud to whatever level of grind you want(coarse to fine), so there is an advantage.

Whatever you look for, know some factors about quality. If the teeth sections of a grinder are inserts (you can see a seam like the one between the black and silver metal in this pic http://i.imgur.com/HqR6ekL.png) don't buy it. it may take years, but with enough work the two pieces of metal will separate(I ran into this the other night at a friends place). You want your teeth sections to be milled from one solid piece of metal to avoid this.
If I can give a personal recommendation, I use a Mendo Mulcher 3" four piece and it's my all time favorite grinder. Though I will give credit to Space Cases and Kannastors because they are also quality tools.


--------------------------

I definitely recommend a grinder. I keep one of these as a backup grinder and it's about the cheapest four piece you can get, definitely worth the money. I also use one of these for my travel kit and the 3" Mendo Mulcher is my daily driver.

-------------------------

As far as screens go, I say go glass or use a plug nug (small nug of weed below the ground weed to keep it from pulling through). Glass screens are inert and reusable/easily cleaned. Metal screens clog and they put unnecessary stress on the glass(the metal holds the heat close to the glass, while a glass screen cools at the same rate).

This is a basic list with mid-grade item recommendations as links. You can definitely shop around and find better deals, but this will give you a place to start your shopping excursion from. Considering hitting up a local restaurant supply store for really good deals.

• Basic Tools:
  
• Cutting board (get at least 2, more are better, get the larger sized ones if you have the counter space)
  
• Chef's Knife
  
• Paring Knife
  
• Mixing Bowls (alternatively)
  
• Wooden Spoon
  
• Silicone Spatula
  
• Whisk
  
• Hand Towels (can be used as pot holders if you're careful and layer them up thickly. Watch out for the gas flame if you have a gas cook top.)
  
• Pepper Grinder
  
• Ramekins (for mise en place -- aka stuff you're working with as you cook like salt, spices, other small ingredients)
  
• Pots & Pans:
  
• Stock Pot
  
• Sauce Pan
  
• Skillet
  
• Cast Iron Skillet (optional ; make sure you learn how to care for cast iron - no soap ever, etc.)
  
• Non Stick Skillet (optional)
  
• Bakeware:
  
• Half sheet pans / Cookie Sheets (get 2 or more)
  
• Cooling Racks (these should fit in the cookie sheets)
  
• Cake Pans
  
• Loaf Pan
  
• Small Pyrex casserole
  
• Large Pyrex casserole
  

FOR MY PASTRY

it's more of a technique than a recipe... most pastries are more technique than recipe for that matter! The real trick is keeping the dough gold so the butter won't melt. if your butter melts it won't puff up right.

(oz measurements are by weight)

• 12oz BREAD flour (put the flour in the freezer for about an hour first)
  
• 10oz unsalted butter, cut in cubes and frozen (real butter people.. come on)
  
• tsp kosher salt
  
• about 12 tbsp ice water
  
  
  .. this is very simple:
  
  

1. Put the flour out on the counter, then cut the butter into it until its crumbly butter pieces are about the size of a pea (that means to put the butter on the pile of flour then chop it up with a bench scraper like this dude)
   
   
2. Now, mix the water in with the bench scraper (kind of a folding motion) about 2tbsp at a time until it's doughy... this is where the experience comes into play, you don't need to add all the water every time, just use your better judgement. Things you don't even think about can affect this, the humidity of the air in your kitchen for instance! too much water, and it's too heavy, not enough and it's brittle.
   
   
3. When you've got that all done, you need to roll it out to about the size of a sheet of paper, now fold it in thirds.. (visualize it as 3 panels, fold the right panel over the center, then the left panel over the center)
   
   
4. Now, whack it with the rolling pin until its about the size of a sheet of paper again, beat that bitch like it owes you money!
   
   
5. rotate 90 degrees... fold, and beat it down again
   
   
6. rotate 90 degrees... fold, and beat it down again (nope I didn't copy and paste on accident)
   
   
7. rotate 90 degrees... fold, and beat it down again
   
   
8. Now, fold it in half (but in quarters..?) imagine it's 4 panels, you want to fold the two outside panels in so they meet in the middle.
   
   
9. Now fold it completely in half. (so the outside edges are in the center)
   
   
10. Wrap that crap up in some parchment and shove it in the fridge for about an hour.
    
    
11. When it comes time to use it, dust it with flour, roll it out to about 1/4 inch thick
    
    I normally bake it at 350 for about 35 - 40 minutes, but I use a convection oven, so you'll have to play with the temp and time, 400 for about 25-30 minutes might be a good place for conventional ovens. Center rake by the way.
    
    For the filling:
    
    I simply chop up some onions, carrots, celery, and mushroom, how ever much looks right, I just eyeball it. cook all that in about 1tbsp of olive oil, then when it's all looking nice and tender I toss in a stick of salted butter (8 tbsp) I add some dried thyme, salt, pepper and garlic powder (you could use fresh garlic to get a stronger flavor, but I like the thyme to be the star of the show) then I add some chicken, (just get a rotisserie chicken because i'm lazy) Then I dump in about a 1/2 cup of flour (it gets thick... this is a roux) then I slowly add in 1 1/2 cup of chicken stock, and 1/2 cup of milk. Whisk it up with the fury of god, then let it boil until it's nice and thick.
    
    Put it together
    
    fill some ramekins, porcelain bowls, or whatever, with the filling, then slap some pastry on top... not too hard.
    
    Eating it
    
    Use a fork, get some food on it, insert into mouth. yum.
    

Here is a checklist to track your amiibo collection: http://amiibochecklist.com/ (most popular) or https://www.scribd.com/mobile/document/341048988/iJustine-s-Amiibo-Checklist-2017

Buy NEW amiibo from: TRU is the best retailer with a diverse group of amiibos. Other than that: Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Game stop and Nintendo store. To get more rare amiibos, Beat the Bomb is an Australian retailer that ships to the US. The Australian dollar is worth less than US dollars so when you convert the prices, it is competitive. There is also NinNin but that one is more expensive and shipping is high.

Buy resale/used amiibo: Craigslist. Other places similar to Craigslist: Facebook marketplace, OfferUp, and Let Go. People have also reported being successful on Amazon Warehouse.

Use r/amiiboswap to view and exchange amiibos.

Twitter accounts to follow for more amiibo info: @AmiiboAlerts and @AmiiboNews

If you’re looking for ideas on how to display amiibos: Bat cases at Michael’s are pretty popular https://www.michaels.com/studio-decor-baseball-bat-display-case/10174362.html. Three tier rack on Amazon (I just use a spice rack from Bed Bath and Beyond) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0036OQU56/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_5we8ybSAV243Z. Or a picture ledge at IKEA http://www.ikea.com/us/en/search/?query=MOSSLANDA+Picture+ledge

100%. After owning MFLBs for years.. what I found to work the best is to get a large grinder and do the initial grind with it. You can fill the whole thing up as much as you want and leave it there. Eventually the first-ground herbs goes through the Finishing Grinder per new trench. The reason why I do this is because it allows me to pre-grind a lot because the Finishing Grinder can only take small amounts at a time.. but also this helps dry the herbs before you put it through the Finishing Grinder. Both the Box and the FG do better with dry herbs. This is what I use before putting it through the FG.. plenty of space, cheap, excellent quality for my purpose: http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Gate-Grinders-Ultimate-Anodized/dp/B00GXSFB1Q/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1463520562&sr=8-3&keywords=golden+gate+grinder

I have a Space Case Titanium and the Golden Gate Grinder seems to do my "pre Finishing Grind" much more efficiently with a lot more space to store the herbs for drying purposes. The Space Case definitely does a better job at going for a finer grind but it doesn't match the FG on its own.

I was told by my SO that I have a huge butt....I'm a guy...Regardless, I think butts are funny. I'd love to get this chopper. I cook a lot and sometimes it's nice to have something to chop with and be broad enough to scoop it up and throw it in the pan. Plus, it's good for cutting pastries as well, so it comes in handy for baking as well.
Congrats on the Prime!

Not to say that op needs a new coffee grinder, or that coffee grinders are a bad idea, but you could always get a regular herb grinder from amazon for like 6 bucks and with shipping and tax i think its well worth it. I got mine when the price was like 2.84 and overall it came out to like 7 bucks tops for 2.25'' grinder with a pollen collector(kief catcher). Plus who ever shows up with a coffee grinder all like, "hey i grind as much as you could possibly want in about 2 seconds with this bitch" lol.

I haven't had it long enough to say if it's BIFL, but I'm impressed with my Oxo Good Grips pepper mill. It's built solidly, the size adjustment works very well, it has never jammed and the big bonus is that I can grind one-handed with it. I use this a lot when cooking meat - one hand will have been handling the meat, and the scallops on the twisting (rubber) end let me use it w/o grinding a dish of pepper or constantly washing my hands. I know they sell them at Bed Bath and Beyond, w/ a fill of pepper or salt, if you want to try one.

It isn't the fastest mill, but if it was faster I probably couldn't use it 1-handed.

If you're looking for something of a higher quality but willing to spend more money, check out the two other commenters recommendations.

If you're on a budget, the Amazon Chromium Crusher is a great little grinder. I've had it for about 2 years now and it has never failed me. A little bigger (2.5 inches) but well worth the value. I bought it as a temporary until I was of age and could get a good one at a head shop but once I got it I didn't feel the need to upgrade.

Link

Herez ya go!

This is the one I use and it is amazing!! Insane kief production, great grind consistency, absolutely tears through any bud, no matter how sticky, and it is very well made. Plus the pollen press=easy perfect hash pucks! I utterly love my grinder. Plus buying from amazon saved me like $45 compared to my local headshop

OK, I do art shows and I love the ferris wheel idea.

First things though, if you want the tables to pop, how about a solid bright color for the table cloths? The dots are cute but as a consumer, I'd have a hard time seeing your products. Tiered is always good and even spice stands
hidden behind fabric.

What about this stand easily covered for the record pieces?

I've also seen at Lowes, a plant stand that looks like a banana hook, it would be amazing at hanging items from.

Once you start, you won't ever stop! When they first announced them, I thought I'd only buy a few, but now I have 2 spice racks like this completely filled up! Not home right now, so I'm not sure exactly how many.

I'm sure they'll have more games that use amiibo on Switch; they've already showed up the amiibo scanners on the joy-cons. As to whether it'll be more than, "here's this cool skin" or minor bonuses in the game, we don't really know yet. I think they're definitely worth it as a collector's item though, if you like the character enough to buy a figure and display it!

I personally would get the following way sooner if I was building my kitchen all over again.

Also if there is a place you can get bulk spices near by I would go there for your spices, because if you havent already noticed spices are pricey at your local megamart.

Lavatools Thermowand - Same form factor as the much more expensive thermopen but at 1/3 the price.

Lodge cast iron skillet - great for searing meats or as a good starting pan.

OXO Bench Scraper - Makes prep work much easier and safer as you don't use your knife to scrape your food off the cutting board.

Immersion Blenders - When you dont want to use your big blender or want to blend something in your pot or pan.

Stainless Steel Cookware - Has a little bit of a learning curve but is great after the fact.

Aeropress - Life is too short to make shitty coffee.

Edit: added a thermometer/spelling

The first two say that they are anodized, which won't (or shouldn't...) chip away.

You might want to check out this listing. It's similar to your last link, but significantly cheaper. I have a few friends with this one, and they like it a lot. The shiny silver color will give way eventually with enough rubbing/abrasion, but if you don't care about some minor cosmetic issues, the functionality remains solid. Also, be aware that they ship from China, so it takes a couple weeks to arrive.

I don't have much of a suggestion, though. I think you'll be happy with any of those. Definitely make sure that the grinder you do choose (if not on that list) has 3 chambers - the grinding chamber, the chamber sufficiently ground bud falld into, and a kief catch.

uniformity really does give it an awesome presentation.


This is the onion chopper that I use for projects like pico where I really want to control the uniformity and I can hand it to anyone to help out and it's still going to turn out perfect. I also enjoy using it for doing meal prep for salads.

thanks! I don't know exactly what it's made of, but it's very sturdy and feels like it's really great quality. if you're interested [this] (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0023X32MA/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) is the grinder i bought.

i just used nail polish on it, and i don't think (and hope!) is doesn't chip off! there are ridges on the cap that looks like it'll keep the polish on it.

http://www.amazon.com/Authentic-CRUSHER-Tobacco-Grinder-SCRAPPER/dp/B003U58E46/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1380664084&sr=8-3&keywords=5+piece+grinder thank me later. This grinder is the grinder i use when i want kief. (all the time) and i get about 1 gram per half ounce i grind through it of pure gold kief. the 2 screens let big bud for bong rips and combusting great on top of the first screen. and on the second screen great size vaping bud. then the kief is PURE gold its amazing just trust me.. [8]

I got them on amazon They're actually spice racks.. but it does well as a nail polish rack too. hehe

A bit of forewarning: you won't be able to see the colors in the back. If you stagger them, OPI/china glaze polishes will fit 16 per row. Julep fits in rows of 3 without staggering. You can fit a bunch of Julep, but you won't be able to see the two rows in the back.

I'm still pretty okay with this as I've sorted them by brand and remember what colors I have of each so I can quickly find what I'm looking for :)

I bought it off Amazon for $22.99 about a year ago. In the review video, they said the price was $35.99. It looks like the price has been up since last August

Maybe Kuhn Rikon jacked up the price due to the good reviews, or perhaps there is just less discounting because it has become popular.

I totally agree that it is pricey, but I will say that it is really well built, and works great. I am glad I didn't pay $45 for it though.

To me, a grinder made a HUGE difference.

Your bud smokes better, more evenly.

I have a good income, though, and the cost of bud and grinders is pretty small compared to what I can afford (I don't smoke much). It makes perfect sense for me, therefore, to spend a little more money to have a much better experience.

I have been able to find decent grinders on Amazon for less than $10. For example: https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Bell-Piece-Spice-Grinder/dp/B01CQ9FYXK/ref=pd_lpo_79_bs_tr_img_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=M18P9R2XH5Q63WZNMWGJ

Thanks for your nice words. I'm in the basement, right next to the garage. This space doesn't serve a real purpose, other than to get you from the garage to the first floor. I made it mine, it also explains why the ceilings are so high. I'll give your questions an answer here.

1. I'm using the IKEA Dioder lights for the glass cabinets. There is a lot of wiring that goes along with them though. I've tried to conceal it the best I can. I wire tie the cables to the posts going to the front of the cabinets. There is weatherstripping between the gaps of the doors, so I tuck the cables behind them. If the lights end up dying, you can replace the actual stick without resetting the cables. They're pretty good for the price. I also used a spool of led lights for the Star Wars rectangle display. With that, you can choose your own length, and the lights have like 50,000 hours of use, or something like that.
   
   
2. Those are Copco Non-Skid Cabinet Organizers. You can also get them at Bed, Bath and Beyond. They're an inexpensive option. I should really paint mine, I just haven't.
   
   
3. Like it's been said, that is a baseball bat display case. I purchased mine at Michaels. It's almost perfect for a small 3.75" scale collection.

I actually had cases like these when I started getting into anime in high school for trading and capsule figures. I will say they are nice but they start to show their age pretty quickly if you are constantly getting in and out of them. They can attract fingerprints like crazy, and will get fine scratches like a cd/dvd on the clear plastic. Personal opinion, I would go with this simple 8 dollar spice rack.

I'm guessing no one actually enlarged your photo, since it's hosted like it's 2004. To host in a way the RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) can display here you must post an url that ends in ".jpg" or whatever file type. Imgur is the best free site for this.

Second Your grind is bad. I don't want to make you feel bad, but you are severely limiting the performance of your box by using herb like this. It should be ground as close to kief consistency as possible.

This picture Demonstrates what your grind should look like. The grind on the left is from a normal 4 piece, the grind on the right is from the Finishing Grinder. Basically Kief. Think it's like $20 on Amazon.

This picture shows a normal 4 piece grind, upside down 4 piece and the FG grind. Just without comparison objects.

As you can see an upside down 4 piece is nearly FG quality grind. Less consistent, but totally usable. If I held the grinder upside down for longer I could probably get all the way there. Or very nearly.

Alternately people will put herb in a pill bottle with a coin and shake it up, to get a fine grind.

If you don't have a grinder This is a great 4 piece that is about as affordable as fancy coffee.

/u/mflbninja we REALLY need a stickied grind post in this sub man. with example pictures. Let me know if there's anything you want me to do in order to help.

I know this place is for exchanging, but amazon has some pretty solid grinders in the $10-15range.

Edit: or buy what jonathuggg is selling. He's super quick on shipping.

Have a good one!

Beautiful. Easily the nicest 3.75" display I've seen on this sub. I'd consider painting the risers black though, to match the cabinet.

For anyone interested the risers can be found here. On sale for $7.99 and they work great for Amiibos as well.

A grinder i would recommend. http://www.amazon.com/NEW-STYLE-Tobacco-Pollen-Grinder/dp/B0023X32MA/ref=pd_sbs_k_1
I'm quite happy with my mflb vaporizer.. cheap, lifetime warranty, works completely effective, stealthy as fuck and best of all rechargeable batteries. http://www.amazon.com/Latest-Model-Magic-Flight-Launch/dp/B0029NRM2U/ref=pd_sim_k_2
if you do get an MFLB i would recommend getting an extra set of batteries.
Also Bongs are the way to go if you aren't worried about smell or size. Nothing quite like hitting a glass on glass bong with an ashcatcher.

Edit: Also, I would check out a local head shop, support local business and all that. Plus they can often provide helpful information on your questions.

I use spice racks I don't need to see the colors because I have Swatch sticks organized by row of where they are on the racks and you can fit two rows of pretty much every normal .5 oz polish bottle on each shelf. these are the ones I use: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E8TLKC/ref=oh_details_o07_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I love the dark iron look and the fact that I can mount them on the wall right by my nail table and light so it's all right there and easy to access. It also helps that they are inexpensive so I can purchase them easily and spend more on polish :D

2 piece is just a basic
3 piece has a catch for trees
4 piece has a catch for trees and a keif catch
5 piece.... IDK? i'm still wondering
you should be able to get the MFLB anywhere but here is a cheap ass grinder that should work well (i'm probably going to buy like 10 and just give them out as gifts to people, or when a friend comes over and is all like man i need a grinder, i'll just throw him mine and be like "FREE OF CHARGE!!!" becoming the ultimate GGG)

There is this spice rack that a lot of people on this sub have and use for nail polish storage! It's pretty and cheap!

You say get things are in disarray, if she needs a place to store polish bottles http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001E8TLKC/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?qid=1410819408&sr=1-3

Otherwise, something to store tools, glue, press on nails, look into Caboodle, I love mine, got it at Ulta for about 25 bucks with a coupon, I wouldn't pay more than 30 and I bet they arw on Amazon too. Ulta website has free shipping over 50 and free returns to store.

I use a four piece Sharp Stone (got it here) and it works great. A good one will usually run you around 30, but you can find ones on Amazon for under 10 that still get the job done. I would say that when you're collecting all your kief you get a nice scrapper/brush from Entsupercenter. You might want a kief press too, and I have a cali crusher that works great, and it came with my grinder.

Actually, you can get a finishing grinder for just over $23 including shipping on Amazon right now. The cherry one is the cheapest at the moment, but the price difference for the others is only a few dollars.

Breaking it into small chunks with my hands generally works fine for me, unless the bud hasn't been dried well enough. You should be able to get close to the same grind with most two piece grinders, but it will most likely be a lot more work. One thing that's pretty important in the launch box is having a consistent grind, and that's where the finishing grinder excels. Because of the way it works, it gets a very fine, consistent grind in one pass.

I recommend this one

Cheap price, but good quality. Great for solo seshes, but if you're more of a group toker, I'd still recommend it, but not as highly. It's a medium sized grinder, usually two or three times I use it in groups as opposed to the once I use it for me.

Do they even want shoes or a jacket?

Do you have their email address? What about a gift card to site like Grass City or Smoke Cartel?

Otherwise, you can't go wrong with a grinder. A lot of people don't want to spend money on one, but they totally appreciate using one once they have one. That one is an absolutely excellent one.

Not many comments about grinders yet so I'll do one. Honestly if you're looking for 'bang for your buck,' you can't beat amazon.com. You'll pay 80 bucks at a head shop for something that you can get for 20-30 on amazon and it'll perform just as well.

I was astounded that my Chromium Crusher survived my first 3 years in college (I'm not sure even any piece of furniture lasted that long), still works just as well as the day I got it.

Somethin like this: http://www.amazon.com/CRUSHER-Quality-Tobacco-Grinder-non-aluminum/product-reviews/B000KVBAAI/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1

Or there's one for a Sharpstone if you want the more reliable brand name:
http://www.amazon.com/Authentic-Sharpstone-Herb-Grinder-G2-B/dp/B003U5IXVK/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1345403826&sr=8-5&keywords=chromium+crusher+black

I've heard good things about that grinder so go for it. I have this one and it works great so it could be your choice between the two.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GXSFB1Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And yeah you can make joints as big or little as you want. Do not worry about excess room in a j, just twist it off and cut off the extra. 0.25 grams with low tolerance should get you pretty stoned especially if its good quality.

I'm gonna copy a comment I made over on trees... Short answer is a container of steel screens in the top left and a jewelers loupe in the bottom right.

Everything is all labeled out here

I bought my grinder on [amazon for $7] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0023X32MA/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_KRYRub1MSFKSW). It works awesome.

I also got the screens (100) on [amazon] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007BQTC5U/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_tTYRub0BVP71J) for $4.

The empty green travel container is what I put a bit in if I'm heading over to a friends for the night. That and the two clear ones are from my recreational shop (WAent).

I don't use the normal sized lighters much, usually I choose the mini lighters.

I bought both the [zig zag roller] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002Q7WRDI/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_xUYRub0X73KSK) and the [blackberry juicy jay's] (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ESM6AMI/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_bXYRub1X7WAV1) at my smoke shop for $5 and $2 respectively.

My friend gave me the big old nug the other day so I just stashed it in here so I didn't mix strains.

The tweezers is for "handling" the nugs to put them in the grinder. I don't want to lose ANY crystals.

Burn gel (lidocane) because I'm clumsy as FUCK when I'm at a [6+].

Eye drops for dry eyes.

Hand sanitizer because I get stamped ash all over my hands from the way I hold my lighter.

Doob toob for obvious reasons. It's from a disposable e-cig from before I quit smoking.

I got the rainbow storage tube from the dollar store. I keep stems and glass screens in it. Sometimes I keep a few grams in it too if I have more than one strain.

Watermelon gum because it is my favorite taste when I'm high. Tic-tacs to take a minty toke. Emergency kit Kat for reasons.

A 30x21mm jeweler's loupe to look [closely] (http://imgur.com/f2knddq) at my [weed] (http://imgur.com/QRjZVc8)...and maybe [doritos] (http://imgur.com/BOS4v4t).

Edit: here is the link for the [jeweler's loupe] (http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008BXQVO2/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_BxZRub1S2EF44).

As long as you buy a metal multi-section one, you really can't go wrong for the most part. It doesn't really matter all that much which one you decide on, I'm sure they will all get the job done plenty well. I would strongly recommend getting one with a kief catcher though, it will collect in the very bottom and you can smoke pure kief later for a helluva high.

Sorry, I'm ranting. Anyway, look on amazon. There are many options from $5-$30. I would shell out the extra few bucks to get the high quality ones, but you really don't need to if you don't want to.

This 4 piece on amazon is the one I bought, it works fantastically well, and it extremely cheap. I find it very good, in pretty much every way. Although like I said, it's hard to go wrong really.

It doesn't have to be name brand. Honestly I bought this one, and its been working great for months. Sure its not as good as a Santa Cruz, however for $7 its been pretty good.

OH wow i totally misread your question xD

i have totes seen tiered displays like that on amazon. since i was so useless with my last comment and deserving of downvotes, here's a similar one, usually "tiered spice rack" works, and there's nice clear acrylic tiered displays that i've seen people use in the detolf shelves too.

Something like this could help with the smaller items: https://www.amazon.com/Copco-2555-0189-Non-Skid-Kitchen-Organizer/dp/B0036OQU4C/ref=sr_1_fkmr2_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1541213520&sr=8-3-fkmr2&keywords=staggered+spice+rack


Something like this could help with cans: https://www.amazon.com/Sagler-Chrome-Stackable-Organizer-Holds/dp/B00ZS5OPOO/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1541213690&sr=8-7&keywords=food+can+rack


I use a lazy Susan like this on a shelf similar to yours: https://www.amazon.com/mDesign-Turntable-Container-Refrigerator-Countertops/dp/B071RNG7DS/ref=sr_1_3_sspa?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1541213796&sr=1-3-spons&keywords=lazy+susan+turntable&psc=1


Some people peel and stick a square of magnet to the top of the shelf and then use small bottles or jars with magnetic tops to make better use of the top of each shelf. Here's a photo I found with a quick search: https://www.google.com/search?q=magnetic+spice+jars&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjTwoeinbfeAhWhnOAKHXqJBSkQ_AUIFCgC&biw=1426&bih=798#imgrc=VGqef3pAC8W6kM:

here's what I bought in January. it still works fine for me although I might have to clean it shortly. Sometimes I have a little hard time trying to grind my weed. Not sure if it's the grinding part or just the weed is hard to grind but I'll probably clean it in about a month when I get back to school. My friend also asked me what grinder I got and showed him this and he got it and he really likes it.

I just got this off Amazon and have been pretty happy with it. The keif catcher seems to produce more than my old grinder and it's a nice size. So far, I'm happy and use it for my Pax 2 and Vapcap M.

EDIT: Forgot to include link...

If you don't already have one, my top recommendation would definitely be a food scale!

Other than that, I've found that Amazon often has good deals on some of my favorite snacks (I often order protein bars and beef jerky through the site). I've also bought some dumbbells for at-home strength training. There's also lots of good cooking tools you could get, although I suppose it depends on your needs -- I recently bought this chopper (because I'm trying to cook with more veggies and I have terrible knife skills) and this mini cast iron skillet (because I do a lot of cooking-for-one).

Just like /u/dontcallmebjorn said, get the MFLB Finishing Grinder. It'll grind to that perfect consistency and pairs really well with the Delta 3D Loading Funnel.

On the expensive side but I've heard good things about the Kannastor gr8tr for Vape but have no direct experience. I do have a Kannastor 2.2 grinder w/changeable screens though and it's my favorite so far. Paid like $40 at my local shop.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00T225NH2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1474738137&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=zip+grinder&dpPl=1&dpID=51dwC0tALoL&ref=plSrch

You will be thoroughly impressed

Also has a HUGE compartment for holding the ground and it's clear so you can see it, pretty cool

[This is such a great 20 dollar grinder] (http://www.amazon.com/Golden-Gate-Grinders-Ultimate-Anodized/dp/B00GXSFB1Q) Don't let the price fool you. I used to own a space case grinder (one of the best brands) it cost me 70 I lost it and picked up this golden gate. The Golden gate is pretty much the same quality imo if not better because my space case used to squeak when grinding this here golden gate doesn't do that. Kief collector pretty much catches the same amount of kief 4 bags of some fire will have me enough to top 2 maybe 3 bowls. Pretty worth it imo.

You don't need to spend a ton! This one is CLUTCH. Plus it's on Amazon. Mine has been heavily used, and is still in great shape. I totally recommend it! Happy kiefing!

There's a pretty nice 4 piece metal grinder on amazon, it even comes with a kief scoop. It's something like 8 bucks, definitely worth the buy. Golden Bell 4 Piece Spice Herb Grinder, 2-Inch - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W18BAVM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_4b1-zb6N72N7A

Here's a few things. Shipping might cost more though, unless you have Amazon Prime.

A Toke Tool.

A Nifty Pipe.

A Grinder.

But my favorite, and what I suggest, a Macro Lens for your phone. Impress your friends with high-quality trichomey filled pictures.

I have a big Peugeot as well and it goes really well.
But this one from OXO Good Grips is also awesome, never get stuck, grinds the size you want, the opening to put the pepper is very big and it grinds at the top, so you don't have a messy table/counter.

http://www.amazon.ca/OXO-Good-Grips-1140700BK-Grinder/dp/B001CDP6EE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1414172298&sr=8-1&keywords=oxo+pepper+grinder

I do it if I want them to essentially disappear into whatever I am cooking. I generally prefer larger pieces than a grater will do though. I have a Vidalia Chop Wizard thing my mom gave me for faster prep when I want a fine in-between chopped and grated. It's a bit of a hassle to clean, but for large pots of soups and stews it is pretty handy. I love my kitchen knives though, so I only really resort to it when I cook in quantity.

Top comment says 4 piece grinder, but especially if you have a vape I'd definitely recommend a 5 piece. You get very finely ground stuff, which I've found can really only be appreciated with a vape.

Golden Bell 4 Piece Spice Herb Grinder, 2-Inch - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00W18BAVM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_74YSybXRAMFDM

This is mine! I've had it for about a year and love it! Plus it doesn't break the bank and is super durable! Plus I've collected a nice amount of Keif with it;)

I really like this one I got off amazon. super cheap and works great!

ah got it... Couldnt really tell from the picture if it was set up like that or not. Something like this is what you need to use the coin trick.

http://www.amazon.com/Chromium-Crusher-Tobacco-Lifetime-Warranty/dp/B00700W0TW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1395767635&sr=8-3&keywords=3+chamber+grinder

Things like this are a dime a dozen at your local head shop and a decent one can be found for $20 bucks. I will say the coin trick increased my kief production astronomically... what used to take me an entire O now only takes a few bowls (the stuff had a decent amount of crystals and wasnt as sticky as it used to be). This has also helped with my tolerance... I do this during the week and only consume the herb which has a far lesser potency without all the kief on it and use the kief on weekends. ;)

Good luck!!

I know what you're talking about and it may be due to a few factors. Like others have said, a finer grind is truly a game changer with the air. Consider investing in a santa cruz shredder or a cali crusher to step up your grinder game. You may also want to try the upside down grinder trick to get a finer grind.

Even this doesn't really fix your problem, but it makes sure that even though the herb close to the over is very well done, the herb furthest is done enough to be done vaping. Its something us air owners live with. I see that if its all vaped, even at varying degrees, I could care less.

I have 2 of these - they're great for kitchen storage, and they're gorgeous! :)

Great product, but get it unbranded for cheaper! Picture shown is not actual grinder - I will post picture of mine later.

A friend suggested that to me over my sharpstone grinder and I'm very impressed by the fine grinding i received.

my tip - pack it, close the lid, turn it upside down, turn one direction until you don't feel any resistance

big pain in the ass, you have to work very quickly, the "glass" breaks very easily, very time consuming

If you do try this, here are some tips:

• like I said, work very fast, as soon as you pour the candy starts to cool and set
  
  
• if you can find/make a rectangular candy mold, use it!
  
  
• work in small batches, the larger the amount you pour the longer it takes to spread out and the easier it'll be for it to set improperly
  
  
• get one of those creme brulee torches/food torch/torch of some kind
  
  
• get a pastry/dough knife like this
  
  
• when you go to cut the slides, heat up the knife, not just warm but freakin hot
  
  
• be prepared for a lot of trial and error
  
  
• DO NOT leave on the counter, put in fridge, any amount of water (including food coloring) will start to melt the candy and then you wake up the next morning ready to take your awesome candies to work for a halloween party only to discover they look like complete and utter crap and then you start to cry and then your co-workers are all like "oh no I see it, they're great, no really... "

A vegetable chopper like this is great to use one handed, and doesn't require a lot of dexterity in your non-dominant arm and hand. Maybe it'll work well for your situation?

I use this one. It's super easy to clean so long as you clean it soon after use, otherwise you may need to soak it first.

I use these, and they are amazing. I can typically fit 5-6 pops on each tier, and I've got six of these filled completely XD

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007JLVOQW/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1416879115&sr=1&keywords=4+piece+grinder
^ that is $10 but its the best one i've ever got from amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Piece-Tobacco-Pollen-Grinder-diameter/dp/B0023WXZ1O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1416879149&sr=8-2&keywords=4+piece+grinder
this is smaller but still works well.

I got this grinder. Now to be fair I don't have anything to compare it too, but it does what it's supposed to do and it's built like a tank. Nice and cheap.

I made my own bong out of a liquor bottle, but you can find decent bongs for like $40 or even less if you look around. Doesn't need to be fancy.

What a kind offer!
There are two things off my wishlist that aren't necessities that I would really like.

THIS SPICE RACK that is the right size to hold my daily medications in an easy place for me, but out of reach for little hands.

or

THIS BOOK about helping your child with sensory issues get organized. I have been wanting to read it for a while and the library can't get it.

THIS is the wishlist link with those things on there. It has a few little things that I have stuck on there over time, just ignore the rest.

Thank you so much and Happy Thanksgiving!

That is the one I have, been using it for 6 months now and not an issue. Grinds very well and worked great for my flowermate. Feels well made and outperforms more expensive ones. Connections are nice and tight. Hit me up if you want more info.

This one

It's $30 instead of $20, but when you consider how much value worth of product passes through it, it's worth it. Look how good the reviews are.

Check out this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00700W0TW

I own it and like it. It's even cheaper than the one you posted, looks similar, and is a brand name. Works great, holds together well, and grinds nicely.

I'm assuming you don't want to spend that much so here:

A super cheap one: http://www.amazon.com/Piece-Tobacco-Pollen-Grinder-diameter/dp/B0023WXZ1O/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1406656505&sr=8-2&keywords=grinder

And lastly, this is the one I have. Its pretty nice IMO but I've had the others too and they're not that bad. Just preference and how much budget you have: http://www.amazon.com/Chromium-Crusher-Tobacco-Lifetime-Warranty/dp/B00700W0TW/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1406656505&sr=8-3&keywords=grinder

Space Case grinders are awesome quality, and the teeth rarely ever break off. Although with the big name comes a big price. If you are strapped for cash and don't mind waiting on shipping/don't need to keep what you are getting in the mail hidden from anyone, I would purchase the grinder from the link below. It's great quality for 5 bucks. I bought one and it always grinds my trees up really well. http://www.amazon.com/Piece-STYLE-Tobacco-Pollen-Grinder/dp/B0023X32MA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1397589449&sr=8-1&keywords=herb+grinder

I'm a little embarrassed to admit that just this past weekend, I got myself a Vidalia Chop Wizard, a hokey "as-seen-on-TV" kitchen gadget, and what Alton Brown would call a unitasker.

My favorite keto recipe is Caveman Keto's Caveman Chili. I cooked it maybe 7 or 8 times throughout 2015. The problem is I would always dread the time and effort it takes to chop up the peppers and onions. I decided I needed to get something which would make the whole prep quicker and easier, so that I would be less discouraged from making the chili. I chose to go with the Vidalia Chop Wizard just because it's what /u/CavemanKeto recommends, to keep things even simpler.

Also, I want to recommend fatCoffee, which is a special premade butter coffee mix that you can buy here: https://www.ninjagoatnutrition.com/ I love so-called bulletproof coffee but, once again, the time and effort involved in mixing all the ingredients in a blender (not to mention the cleanup) was prohibiting me from making it as often as I would like. Now I can just brew my coffee like usual, add a packet of fatcoffee to my thermos, shake it up, and head to work! Shoutout to the guy behind it, he's on reddit somewhere (you might've seen a reddit ad for it) but I don't know his username.

I like OXO scraper. Do you plan on leaving out the sipping stand? If so, this one is what I have. Ateco and Wilton are my go to for tips and bags. Here are some links.

Also, come check out r/baking There are a ton of helpful people there ♥️

Dude, Amazon has a great grinder with a screen and kief catcher for less than $8. Bought this exact one - the consistency of the herb and durability of the actual grinder is excellent. Plus, the kief tray will hold about 2g worth of kief.

I actually just got a grinder. I was looking for something super cheap (cause I'd just spent my money on weed) and I got this one (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0023WXZ1O/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1).

I tried it out. It's good for $7. Also has some good reviews. It has a kief catcher on the bottom. It's nice and small and fits right into my tin that I keep all of my stuff in. If you want to grind more you should probably get a bigger one though. As far as packaging goes, this came in a yellow envelope. Just a plain old yellow envelope. I picked this up in my quad mail room and it wasn't the least bit suspicious.

You can get this one [here] (http://www.zipgrinders.com/) or on amazon. Fucking love this grinder. You can grind a good amount of weed in there and carry it around or just not have to grind weed for a few days or even weeks if you fill it up. Just wondering if anyone knows of anything cooler and/or better before I buy another one of these.

I've been using this to display my loose figures on my tv stand:

http://www.amazon.com/Copco-2555-0188-Non-Skid-Cabinet-Organizer/dp/B0036OQU56

It fits 18 perfectly, which is enough for waves 1 and 2 completely. Not sure what I'm gonna do when wave 3 hits, but it was 7 bucks or so at bed bath and beyond, and I think it looks pretty good for a low cost solution:

http://i.imgur.com/B7qzf4p.jpg

This is actually my grinder. I'm fwerner729's roommate. I'm not exactly sure who it's made by. I found it on the MFLB tab at the top of the r/trees homepage. From there, I was able to buy it through Amazon. I can't figure out who it is made by, but it got really good reviews and i really enjoy it so far.

Grinders are good because they allow you to quickly break up lots of bud and they save your keef for you. Here's a cheap and effective one that I bought:
http://www.amazon.com/NEW-STYLE-Tobacco-Pollen-Grinder/dp/B0023X32MA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1342157794&sr=8-1&keywords=grinder

I went through a similar phase about a month and a half ago. I decided for my first grinder to get this one. It's not the best grinder in the world, but it gets the job done. Also, I just throw a dime in the weed-catching compartment before grinding then shake for about a minute to get more kief.

I also decided on a chillum for the bowl that I wanted. That's just because I like them though.

On top of that, I would recommend getting some papers and filters. They are easy to pass off as a cig from a distance and also if you bout to get caught you can always eat it to get rid of the evidence.

It's not in ingredients, it's the equipment. The french wardrobe of the kitchen is the battery de cuisine.

• one good frying pan
  
• one heavy saucepan
  
• one dutch oven
  
• one stock pot (because everyone should be making real home made stock all the time because a: they are better and b: we have got to cut down on food waste in this country)
  
• a roasting pan
  
• a thick handled slotted wooden spoon
  
• a pair of solid tongs, a silicone scraper
  
• a thick absorbent dish towel
  
• a garlic press that actually works (this is the only one I've ever found that's worth spending any money on. You should not have to peel the cloves).
  
• a whisk
  
• a strainer
  
• ONE good knife and the knowledge of how to sharpen it.
  
  If you're clever this should all be able to nest and should fit in maybe two boxes. I used to move every few months and this was all I had and it's really all you need. Baking is different though. Baking is what leads to a kitchen full of gadgets.

There are a ton of awesome grinders for pretty cheap online. I highly recommend avoiding head shops, since they can be very expensive. This guy looks pretty good for only $15. It might be a little on the small side, but most of the time you dont need to grind like an 1/8th at a time.

The Smart Crusher is very good for the price. Nice and compact and grinds brilliantly.

I use a pretty generic-looking metallic grinder from Amazon. It was $4 when I bought it and it seems it's gone up to $7 since then. But I've had it for two years and it works great. My only complaint was that the shipping time was several weeks, but it's such a great deal that it was worth it.

Well here in America pipes and bongs (water pipes lol) are sold as "For tobacco use only."

Tobacco is 18 in US so I assume you're gonna have to buy offline. I got my grinder off Amazon for about 10 USD and it's been great so far.

Here's the grinder. Good 4 piece for cheap, keif catcher works well

This is 4 packs of 50 raw papers. Standard size

And this is a 5 pack each with 50 tips for keeping "tobacco" out of your mouth.

I actually bought my Volcano off Amazon but they no longer allow the sale of vaporizers, along with glass. You can get grinders, rollers, papers, and scales from there but that's about it.

If you're looking for a grinder I recommend a Sharpstone, it's Prime eligible and works great. I've had one for two years

http://smile.amazon.com/Authentic-Sharpstone-Herb-Grinder-G2-B/dp/B003U5IXVK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1393728398&sr=8-1&keywords=sharpstone

The OXO pepper mill is pretty good. Easy access refill, pepper comes out of the top so less messy and it has an adjustable granularity for the pepper.

I suggest looking on Amazon for herb grinders. They're very cheap on there. I have this 3" 4 piece grinder that sells for $10.99, and it works great. It's pretty much the same quality as the Diamond Grind brand that my local smoke shop sells for a lot less. A 3" Diamond Grind goes for ~$90 at my local smoke shop.

Amazon has a great selection of "herb" grinders. I bought this one and it's been fantastic: https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Bell-Piece-Spice-Grinder/dp/B01CQ9FYXK/ref=sr_1_9?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1549152180&sr=1-9&keywords=spice+grinder

I am also in need of a solid means to display my minifigs. Those that come with sets stay with the sets, but my CMFs, and older 80s/90s minifigs are, for now, displayed on a shelf on one of these. It works well enough, and along with a bit of shelf space left in front of it, I can fit a decent amount. My concern is dust, as my apartment can be dusty (dusting all of my sets is a serious chore every 2-3 months).

I have had my eyes on this custom shadowbox, but at the moment it is only available for pre-order. The seller does make smaller ones, but for the amount of minifigs that you have, the 16"x20" would be more up your alley. I am planning on buying two at some point, myself. I know I will need the space for more minifigs in years to come :)

Here you go: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0023WXZ1O/ref=sr_1_2_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1347654492&sr=8-2&keywords=tobacco+grinder&condition=new. It isn't the first option, but it's listed with 96% positive feedback so it should be good.

I've had something like this for as long as I've been smoking, and it's a pretty excellent piece, also incredibly cheap. I see a lot of people asking $30-$40 for a grinder that is usually close enough to the same thing that I actually get a little bit sad about it. The only possible downfall I've experienced is the magnet not being super strong (ie, shaking it upside down will cause the top to fall off, but it will stay if you don't shake it).

I've had mine for a couple of years at this point and it still works perfectly.

I have a plain aluminum grinder. It has a kief chamber which is awesome. I have had mine for four years now. I've seen people's kief screens bust/clog up, magnets fall out, teeth break. But mine is still like new (besides a bit of residue and scratches). I would recommend one like this. It looks almost identical to mine, but I paid $20 in a shop. I think as long as it is metal and has a kief chamber, it should be good.

I have a mini pink version of the sharpstone and I love it! They are great grinders.

Ha ha, I didn't mean to say I usually use my scale to measure weed. The scale I bought off Amazon didn't say it was a weed scale, but after I ordered it they started telling me I might be interested in all kinds of marijuana related stuff.

Like this

and this

and this

(congrats, now you are on the weed list)

I recently bought a cali crusher on amazon for 22 and it works amazing. A little small but you get perfectly ground up herb every time
Edit: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004VAZ0JQ?cache=af0fa5f1a21a95456561db7b9de2d105&pi=SY200_QL40&qid=1406594618&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1
This is the exact one i bought

Keep your box clean, use fresh batteries(seriously gotta keep these things charged to work well) I would highly recommend the finishing grinder i can't really recommend the Power adapter as I have never owned one, but I hear it's a game changer. I personally moved on to a pinnacle pro vaporizer, but the MFLB still has a spot in my heart.

You get a grind like this from almost any grinder which doesn't have "spikes." This little guy from Amazon got me by for an entire year until I passed it on to a friend. Still grinds magnificently and the chief catcher functions perfectly. Just a great cheap grinder (obviously not perfect but it's not a fucking pirhana)

Thanks, good addition. I have a mandolin and when I'm doing certain things (e.g. french onion soup) I'll get it out. I should use it more often.

I have the Kuhn Rikon Epicurean Garlic Press (I think from Cooks Illustrated's suggestion?) and it works for me. The press plane flips out and it's almost trivial to clean.

Don't go overboard. Just buy a $10-20 spoon pipe, a nice grinder(this and this are both good ones in different styles), and an eighth of some good weed. Don't go overboard immediately. If you want a bong just get it off DHgate or bongoutlet.ca (most of the bongs you'll find in headshops are the same exact pieces for 500% more). If you want to get a vape the Arizer solo is amazing for $120 and the MFLB is decent for $80. Since it's a legal state there's really no reason to bother with joints unless you really like them. Any papers / grinders / rollers you can get on amazon really cheaply.

Also get some of these screens for the bowls, they basically stop all weed from getting sucked in

Trust me, instead of going out to buy a couple of grams, next time go out and buy a quality grinder! Trust me it'll pay off when you have nicely ground herb and kief to match. :D

> . The thought of spending an hour and more in chopping veggies n cooking tires me out. Plus, I'll have to go buy veggies n stuff so many times a month.

I cant believe I am sending someone amazon requests at 12 in the night when I have deadlines. But in addition to that cooker you added to your wishlist, get this.

And dude, grow up. Making friends is as easy as smiling at people you see everyday and asking how their day is going about. Contrary to what everyone say about the US, no one is going to shoot you for fucking smiling at them.

This should comfortably hold 18-20 Amiibo but you can buy multiple. I have the 15-inch and the 10-inch right next to each other. Reinforce the small gaps with poster board, then use like half a yard of red fabric to really make it nice.

Sure! They're pretty damn cheap and also look pretty good even without any work done on them. Find them here.

When I moved away to college my mom bought me a Vidalia Chop Wizard and a mandolin slicer and I use them both every day. Vegan cooking requires a lot of prep for fresh vegetables and this cuts down on the knife work significantly! Plus all my food comes out in perfect dices and slices so it cooks and looks better.

A good way to store flours so they aren't exposed to humidity or bugs. I use these. Also a pastry mat and pastry scraper. And a kitchen scale is a must. Some of the best bread and pizza dough recipes rely on weight rather than volume, and having a kitchen scale will allow you to do British and European recipes, as they go by weight and metric measurements most of the time.

If you want a top quality one that will cost more, go with Santa Cruz or Space Case. They pop up on Massdrop fairly regularly.

If you want cheap check Amazon. I got this one several years ago and it's still going strong. It's nothing special but is infinitely better than no grinder. It's outlasted more expensive smoke shop grinders that friends have bought.

I got this one for 18$, great quality, but kind of large: https://www.amazon.ca/KingTop-Spice-Tobacco-Grinder-Large/dp/B00ZOVKLKY/ref=sr_1_2?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1484679444&sr=1-2&keywords=grinder


For a dollar less you can get a more compact one, but also amazing: https://www.amazon.ca/Ohuhu-Tobacco-Grinder-Magnetic-Elegant/dp/B00VFSRZEA/ref=sr_1_1?s=kitchen&ie=UTF8&qid=1484679518&sr=1-1&keywords=grinder

No real reason other than me having a 10Ft long mirror and a counter top that's just as long under it with the sink built in, so it literally just fits there. It's out of the way from everything else, and I usually put on cologne after shaving or before leaving the house, which involves me looking at the mirror to make sure everything looks ok.

It's the joined master bathroom, it's not like it's randomly in a bathroom in the house, it's connected to my room.

I know my ex used to keep her perfume on top of her drawer and my father keeps his in his closet that he had built with drawers inside, the bathroom just works for me, plus it allows me to display all of my fragrances without taking up space in my room.

I also have 2 of these now which helps keep everything extra neat.

Here is the grinder I bought when I bought my MFLB. This thing is a godsend and fits perfectly in the MFLB box

this is a pretty great 4 piece grinder that is super affordable too.

http://www.amazon.com/Chromium-Crusher-Tobacco-Lifetime-Warranty/dp/B00700W0TW

You can find them on Amazon for $8 a piece at the following link: https://www.amazon.com/Copco-2555-0188-Non-Skid-Cabinet-Organizer/dp/B0036OQU56.

I've bought quite a few for my collection and absolutely love them. In my opinion, these are a very cost-effective way to display large collections given that each display holds 18 amiibo comfortably.

In that case, a high quality version of this would serve you well. It's worth spending a bit more on this if you use it often, as the cheaper ones break really easily. And a chopper for salads and herbs is nice.

Used two risers: 15-inch and 10-inch that I bought off of Amazon. They fit the space I had perfectly!

Amazon has some good deals on decent stuff if you look hard enough. They also always come in a discrete package too so you don't have to worry about someone seeing your piece arrive.


Grinder
I've used this grinder for about 3 months now and it works great, only thing is its a tad on the small size, but if you are just starting out its cheap and you probably won't need to grind a lot at once.


Bowl
This bowl is similar to the one I have, I got mine from the same seller and it works great, they burn a little hot because the shape of the bowl is so wide and a lot of air can get in there, but its ~5inches so it cools down quite a bit before it gets to you.

I'd give it a shot, so long as your parent's don't go through your mail, if that's a risk then you should try and go to a gas station/general store that looks a bit sketchy and look around, I know there are a few convenance stores around me that sell bongs and bowls, they're marked "for tobacco use only" but everyone knows thats not what they're for. Also maybe try vape shops/cigar shops for other materials, just know you will pay a premium price if you go to a store rather than online.

I want this pastry chopper from my kitchen wishlist. It will help me make apple pies on rainy days when I don't want to do anything and I'm sad because it's raining. It will also make my roommates really happy because everyone likes pie. I like making pies and knives just don't cut butter like a pastry chopper.

The old man is snoring

I just bought this one after I had to toss my last (that was an unfortunate event.) It's actually pretty nice. The holes are small, but it's great for an MFLB

http://amzn.com/B00GNKFOUC

Best $25 bucks you can spend if you vape.

use mine with my Da Buddha as well and at least to me, the difference is noticeable. Just grind up in your regular grinder as step one, put a couple pinches in your finishing grinder and you get instant powder.

The increase in surface area is key....

Honestly, I wouldn't stress finding a specific triangle tooth shape. Either way you cut it, its going to get ground up. If you like the triangles just for aesthetics, there's that.

I got a chepo off of amazon, fully stainless steel, 4 piece, very similar to this one

You should have a great time with that one. It should also last a long time. I've had mine for 4 years, no plans to get a new one.

She's an awesome girl and definitely deserves it! You might have a favorite shop you like to hit up, but since I recently moved to this area I just ended up on Amazon and got this one.

get this one: http://www.amazon.com/NEW-STYLE-Tobacco-Pollen-Grinder/dp/B0023X32MA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1371735252&sr=8-1&keywords=grinder

I have it. It works pretty good. Not the best, but better than others ive used. Plus its metal.. and its $6.. holds enough for a blunt. Really cant go wrong.

I like the Oxo GoodGrips one. 5 settings, good capacity, good volume, and it stores with the grinder up so you don't leave pepper leavins all over the counter after each use.

http://www.amazon.com/OXO-Good-Grips-Pepper-Grinder/dp/B001CDP6EE/

Please, oh please, let me get this new job. I really hope you do get it! Live stone plant
or herb grinder

Speaking of cutting things into small pieces, the Vidalia Chop Wizard is awesome. It looks like it would be one of those crappy seen-on-TV gizmos, but it's well-built and works great. We use it all the time for dicing things small. http://www.amazon.com/Vidalia-Chop-Wizard-VOWR-2/dp/B000I6JZWA

Occupational therapy assistant here, I would recommend an adapted cutting board like this: https://www.alimed.com/etac-food-prep-board.html
Unfortunately most good adapted cutting boards aren’t cheap, so another options might be something like this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01HC7BNJA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_D6cHDbJXFE7FT

I recommend this one on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00700W0TW

It has held up really well for me and is a nice size. Also has a kief chamber.

Just got this for that reason. It's pretty awesome. http://smile.amazon.com/Magic-Flight-Finishing-Grinder-Natural/dp/B00GNKFOUC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413486443&sr=8-1&keywords=magic+flight+launch+box+grinder

You want this finishing grinder

https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Flight-Finishing-Grinder-Natural/dp/B00GNKFOUC/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541522022&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=mflb+finishing+grinder&dpPl=1&dpID=41PMgzpkeqL&ref=plSrch

For how hot it gets, yeah it does this. hold it in your hand with your hands wrapped fully around the device. This helps the heat spread and not get so hot.

Amazon just bought these two and will see them tomorrow

Golden Bell 4 Piece 2" Spice Herb Grinder - Nickel Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CQ9FYXK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_2fsXBbQ7JXAHR

4.4 Inch Pipe New Style Handmade Glass Tube (Color as Shown) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H8T5DVD/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_KgsXBb1WN540C

I smoke every couple of days and these will be perfect for me. The grinder also catches kief which is good

I got that really popular grinder off amazon that like $8 and I just turn it upside down and grind for a while and then put the weed in a film container with a dime and shake it for 5 to 7 minutes and it works really well. The longer you shake the more fine the herb will get.

I would say spend some extra cash and get a really nice quality grinder. Yes, its expensive, but think of it as an investment. I dropped $60 on one a while back and I don't think I'll ever need another one (unless, of course, I lose this one). I love compton grinders, and santa cruz shredders are also very popular and seem to be good quality. However if you are sent on a $30 limit I would suggest a sharpstone or a cali crusher.

Thanks, I saw this grinder and it seems pretty cheap but good quality. What do you think of it?

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0036OQU56?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00

These guys. Inexpensive but great. I'll end up getting a couple more as the collection expands.

https://www.amazon.com/Chromium-Crusher-Piece-Tobacco-Grinder/dp/B00700W0TW

​

This is a nice grinder. I've been using it for awhile and I recommend it. It can grind around 2 grams at a time and gets a fairly good consistency for vaping.

http://www.amazon.com/Piece-Tobacco-Pollen-Grinder-diameter/dp/B0023WXZ1O/ref=sr_1_3/177-8016730-5624730?s=home-garden&ie=UTF8&qid=1420381293&sr=1-3&keywords=Grinder

Here's a good grinder for about $5+tax. It was the first I'd ever bought and I loved it. You can find other methods to grind it up, but this will make your life easier in that regard

Best grinder I've found so far. Super durable, holds a good amount of herb too.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZOVKLKY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_h-9KybFGKN2FV

I'm a big fan of my Kingtop. It's big and has a good keef catcher. It's a good price too. KingTop Herb Spice Grinder Large 3.0 Inch Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ZOVKLKY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_bm6nyb5SD0C9G

Here's me!

I could use one of these, and this is what I think of when I hear "Sexy Rexy." He wants to be drawn like one of your French girls, but he thanks you for doing this contest.

start small. Get like 1g at first, see what the price is. Invest in a grinder, specifically one with a crystal catcher. I like This one since it is quite large and has a nice crystal catcher. Get some rolling papers as well or a pipe. Pipe will be easier than rolling a joint, but get a metal filter screen. Don't want to get ash in your mouth. Smoke somewhere that you aren't gonna get caught, and use your head when it comes to the amount you are gonna smoke. If you start to feel like you're gonna have a bad time, take some deep breaths and just relax. It's all in your head

Check this out. This is what I use, it's pretty cost effective, small, discrete, and it ships in two days if you have Amazon Prime.

$45? man, i still can't believe people pay so much for a grinder and swear by it. just nab this:

http://www.amazon.com/Piece-STYLE-Tobacco-Pollen-Grinder/dp/B0023X32MA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405447498&sr=8-1&keywords=herb+grinder

$5, shipping took a while, but it has worked great. magnetic lid and teflon so the grinding parts dont rub on metal.

I have this one. Works great. I definitely recommend a 4 chamber one.

I also have a plastic one that I got for free but that one sucks. I hear the Santa Cruz one is good but it's a bit too pricey for me.

YES. Highly recommend this Golden Gate Grinder. $20 on Amazon and it’s the one I’ve used over the past year.

-The Mendo Mulcher is said on reviews to grind finner than the Spacecase/Sharpstone.
-The Head Chief Mini has been recommanded by a user from this sub, remember it is 30mm
-The Cali Crusher is less expensive than Sharpstone/Spacecase but still quality built. (they all do not grind fine enough)
-The Finishing Grinder is THE shit, you won't get better.
-The tic-tac box requires a lot of time (and noise...) to eventually get stuff equally ground and fine enough.

A video comparison of some grinders out there.

Edit: changed the Mendo Mulcher statement to follow DayDreamer9119's feedback, added some other links/grinders.

How tight a budget? Because you can definitely get one off amazon for <$10. The one I got there seems to have doubled in price to around $8 is right here but I'm sure there's bunches of suitable ones.

It may actually be cheaper than the nail thing someone on here suggested.

Alternatively, the LEGO thing seems okay

Chromium crusher on amazon!! I love mine!

Two of these fit perfectly across my Ikea bookshelf.

Yeah, same here. I'm just using a cheap cabinet organizer as a stand until I have a better idea of what the final roster and Smash amiibo set looks like.
