    Looking into a new business adventure

    Emma mentioned that she would like to open a shop.
    I wondered where that came from as she enjoys where she works and the people she works for, but i thought i would listen.
    Anyway off she started on here new venture of talking over this business and she says that she has experience too.
    I fell for that one boys.
    And the answer was a few words long .

    A Filipina came to our house a few days ago selling 'Saladmaster' cooking utensils the smallest pan was £600 and for the whole set you are looking at £9000 it's all made from Titanium, the lady was self employed been doing it for a number of years and very successful. She is looking for Filipina's to train and training is all free plus one can earn whilst training, after reading between the lines it's not for everyone and it's very time consuming also very hard work and lot's to learn along the way. Must say though, she is very good at her job

    No worries, but to answer your question I would not even consider buying any pots at such a ridiculous price even if the cook did cook all the food in the buff!!

    Steve, if I was still working I may have bought a couple of items, but the trainee who came with the lady her husband bought over £4000 worth for her and it's someone my wife knows. Whilst this demo took place the lady did a test on four of our pans that we have and out of the four the stainless had the least contamination and the worst was alloy and we put the alloy, cast iron and none stick in the bin the contaminates smelled disgusting, so now we'll stick with the stainless that we have. With the titanium that was demonstrated no water or fat was used in the cooking process and you can cook anything using these utensils, you can even do boiled egg without water I was amazed and food tasted better, the bonus was free meals for six of us

    Amazing AMAZING,
    Do i buy a new set of pans or a new car.
    Do i buy a new set of pans or half a house over in the Philippines.
    We all would like to do our best for our wives, a new bag here and there, shoes too.
    But saucepans that's a new one on me.
    End of the day they are sales persons they will try to tell the world these are the best things since sliced bread.

    Tell him was well and truly done. A quick search on titanium cookware sets brings up this

    He could have saved himself about £3000

    Why

    If I wanted double glazing would I default to Everest because they spend the most on advertising, or would I get a local firm who could do the same job for less than half the price

    Titanium is mainly used for new limbs ect in the medical profession also space projects and military weapons because it won't deteriorate and it's hygienic
