  Let’s Talk Wirecutter: What Was Worth It and What Wasn’t?

  Wedgewood White plates! Exactly what I was always looking for. A step up from my beloved Corelle, but still lightweight and sturdy. Timeless design.

  What BIFL items would you add to your wedding registry?

  Ours included plain white bone china—I did a lot of research and even though it feels more fragile, it’s the toughest stuff you can get. I have two sets of ‘good’ china from grandmothers (their wedding sets) that have to be hand washed due to gold and platinum detailing, so I wanted to invest in our everyday dinnerware. I looked at all of the major places (pottery barn, department stores, etc) and noticed that the stoneware and similar was all chipped in-store, so I didn’t think it would hold up well with daily use. We went with Wedgwood White, which has now been discontinued. I loved the simple lines and that the coffee cups were footed (meaning I don’t have to worry about coasters or saucers every single morning). It is an absolute joy to use something so nice every day! We just throw it all in the dishwasher and every single piece is still pristine. We also selected a stainless flatware pattern and asked for two full sets along with steak knives (Oneida Deauville, it goes beautifully with the Wedgwood White). It feels up to the challenge of a lifetime of use and is also completely dishwasher friendly. There are different tiers of flatware within a brand so definitely try to check it out in person before you register for it! We did Waterford Elegance glassware, which is stunning. We aren’t big drinkers, otherwise I likely would have chosen something dishwasher safe with a shorter stem for more regular use. We do plan to have them for life though! We purchased large drink dispensers for the wedding itself which have ended up being amazing items to have for entertaining. We have 2 Crate & Barrel hatch dispensers for cold beverages (and I’ve been eyeing a third), and 3 vintage coffee urns off of eBay for hot beverages (we use one for tea, one for coffee, and one for hot water). I’ve since pulled these out for baby showers, milestone birthdays, and graduation parties. They also look great in the top glass cabinets in my kitchen! So food for thought if you’re having a custom punch or coffee bar—you could invest in the machines themselves and get a lifetime of use out of them! Congratulations!

  Ever Bought Something That Quietly Changed You?

  A few things come to mind, all of them purchased or received as gifts decades ago and have been in regular if not daily use since: -Barbour waxed jackets and hat (I live in a climate where it’s wet Oct-at least May. I have them repaired and reproofed as needed, have replaced one barn jacket that was finally EOL after more than 20 years. Even in the nastiest sideways sleet, every part of me covered by Barbour is dry and comfortable. -Set of Calphalon anodized aluminum pots and pans (quality back in the day was different than today, brand has probably changed ownership multiple times since I received these from my parents as an apartment-warming gift). They heat evenly and clean up easily, total workhorses. Still my everyday go-to pots and pans. And I do mean every day - we eat almost all meals at home and I’m the primary cook. -Set of Henckels knives I bought at Costco as one of my first big adult kitchen tool splurges. I’ve kept them sharpened and have always hand washed them. When my brother in law, who is French and an accomplished home chef, visited recently and was helping us prep pizza toppings, he complimented us on the quality and sharpness of our knives. And he’s Definitely not the type of guy who tosses out compliments like candy at a parade, is very opinionated. -The absolute beast that is my SEBO upright vacuum (could probably strip wallpaper with it). -The circa 1920s shell edge Wedgwood china we use every day. It’s beautiful, looks delicate, but still goes in the dishwasher without an issue. Makes even the most basic omelet or tuna sandwich look kinda fancy. My mom bought the whole set (service for 12 with serving pieces!) at a garage sale for practically nothing. -The solid maple queen sized Mission style bed frame my parents bought for me when I moved into my first apartment. Today? Different mattress of course, but bed frame still going strong and practically unscathed, even after multiple long-distance moves.

  Anyone have any experience with these stoves?

  Have had one for 25 years no issues. Mine is a 48 Wedgewood, I love those griddles in the middle. If you are not familiar with gas and gaskets make sure you have someone professionally check it for leaks.

  Nobody said Wedgwood yet!? I am surprised. Love the classic esthetic and quality.
