good lord.

wife and i got invited to dinner. i declined but my wife put the screws to me. she said, the host requested couples come as couples. (1st warning). i was told the host has people cooking for us, like a cooking class. i asked, "she hired cooks?"
"no, they are doing it for no charge". (spidey senses firing now - 2nd warning)
"they are cooking full vegetarian" (okay, not really a warning per se, but now i really dont want to go!)

we get to the dinner friday night, and i am in full question mode. then i see HER. some lady wearing an apron. she comes to shake my hand. whoa! super super hot. she glided across the room. (3rd warning!)

it all clicks and i give my wife the stinkeye! this was a sales pitch dinner!! MOFO!

let me summarize. the pots are supposedly cladded with the same titanium our medical repair bits are made of. zero reactivity. 316T titanium. they took some regular pans from the host and boiled down baking soda and had us taste it after doing the same with her fancy pans. expectedly, her pan, the water was good, the rest astringent. people were getting on board! apparently the bitter taste was supposed to be leached out metals from the pan. stainless included.

pans, despite being simmered were supposed be be cooking under a vacuum. to reduce heat, and protecting nutrients. there was a perforated button that jiggled like a pressure cooker to indicate the correct pressure.

the biggest set of pans had everything and cost $22,000 but if we bought it that night she could cut off 50%..quick math..i figured out $11,000.

the food tasted like warmed up veggies. zero salt.

next page, i'll post my conclusions.
