BroadScot Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hi Monica,My sincere apologies for not using the full word, but I had an argument with a Fire Extinguisher, on Broadway2, hence to me it is a FE. A very painful memory! If you look at Sparkling Horizon http://www.richardsonsboatingholidays.co.uk/boats/sparkling-horizon/?startdate=23/09/2016&pets=0&duration=7 you will see the FE is out of harms way....I hope! Iain.

Chelsea14Ian Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hi Eric not sure but when Marina gets home,I am sure she will know.For those that don't know I am a chef and this shop is aimed at the home and the trade,and is very good,prices are okay to,as for restaurants,there are all sorts in Norwich. Just a little story,when we ordered our first boat,Shetland 4+2,from the boat show we had a few meetings with James the owner.The spec was a two ring hop above a fridge.I wanted a oven and the fridge outside and a seat on top.James asked me why I wanted a oven.I said we tend to eat one day on the boat and one in pubs etc.At that time I worked at Abbey road Studios,He was more interested in the people I had meet,then my oven.He did however get the oven,fridge etc. Ps the corkscrew is important for Grace!

Chelsea14Ian Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 Hi John yes you are correct it is indeed Looses and very good it is.There used to be a shop in Castle mall,sadly they closed early in the year.They were good,but not as good as Looses.Also there is a good cookware shop in Beccles.Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SPEEDTRIPLE Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 I have to say, i would disagree with Robin saying cooking on a boat is secondary. Cooking is cooking wherever you are. I cook exactly the same on a boat, in a cottage, or here at home, and the methods are the same, so i like to use the same sort of utensils. We have a very large sausepan for fresh pasta, and we always used to have Spag bol (well, "Amatricana" sauce actually) on our first night which i coocked underway to our first nights mooring. I lost count of the number of times i used to curse at NOT having suitable cookware, so we used to take our pasta pan with us. We even took a steamer with us on a couple of occaisions, and we did get some strange looks. I completely agree re the sharp knives thing, so much so that Karen and i bought a pack of cheap knives for our "holiday pack". Although they were cheap, they are sharp and do the job, and will only be used when we go on holiday, so they`ll be used for a maximum of 3 weeks a year. I do like Johns idea (Maurice Mynah) re the non stick wok, one i may have to buy for Lightning, as she now has non stick frying pans, saucepans, a steamer, an egg poacher,, so cooking aboard is quite enjoable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polly Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 (edited) I agree with MM's list basically.We have a portable induction hob for shore power which hides in the locker otherwise, given that Brilliant was designed for cockpit cooking with a pressure stove, the cockpit is a better location than midships where our gas cooker lives-originally a companionway.We have a Cobb, not sure I would buy one again. If you don't always use the new-style cobblestones they are sluggish. Lakeland now do a gas version which might be better however. They are cool touch but I would never cook aboard because of Carbon Monoxide risks.Whilst on the cooking topic, we have hit a big issue with our SMEV Moonlight 3. It needs opening for repair and the makers have pot riveted most of it together, so a simple job has become very labour intensive indeed.

retired Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Stainless steel 2 layer steamer, tefal frying pan and a couple of saucepans, can opener, bottle opener, corkscrew and a good set of knives,, spatula, tongs plus, of course, a proper teapot and cosy.steve Trust you Steve the only one to mention the corkscrew so far We have anything we use regularly at home duplicated on the boat including knives. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveO Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I know the corkscrew is rarely needed these days, with the spread of screw-top closures, but you still get the occasional bottle with a cork, so still an important part of the inventory. In any case, the other end opens beer bottles.Steve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SEAMASTER Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Every time we hire and before we leave port. The wife gets her kitchens lists out. Checking to make sure it's all there. By the middle of the holiday week when you come across a bag from home where she has brought most of kitchen with her. And I just shake my head.

vanessan Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Reading back on this thread about Loose’s, I was very disappointed to find out that it is closing. In fact it may already have done. I was in Norwich in May and found they were selling everything off with a 30% discount. I only found the shop a couple of years back and thought I was in heaven as I love good kitchen shops.

Cal Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Our must have item on the boat is a copperstone frying pan. Nothing will stick too it. As we only have two gas rings and a grill we also make a lot of use of a griddle pan. Currently using a Tefal one but when this one dies we will replace it with a copperstone one.

CambridgeCabby Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Bought a seven piece copper stone set off eBay for the princely sum of £29.95 , simple running water leaves them clean as new , as has been said, nothing seems to stick to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonRascal Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 When I got Trixie I just just went to Wilko online and bought up everything from utensils to pots and pans. I work on the basis to have four of everything other than glasses and mugs, as you may have guests for drinks or coffee. Medium and small saucepan with lids and a large fry pan (non-stick) and since there so cheap (£5.00 each) it can just be seen as a disposable item the moment it begins to wear - however, it is actually pretty good and well laid up non-stick. A decent capacity kettle is handy too. I can't have things like a Microwave because there just is not the room, even a Toaster would take very valuable space in the only cupboard the boat has so small boating = going back to basics so far as that goes and actually, I've been okay with that and have also found using tinned things is not so bad after all and can be used to mix and match fresh produce and meats and requires little care since no cooling is needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwanR Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Wilko's has some very good stuff. We often shop there when we're in Lowestoft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 When boating, caravanning and camping I have always worked on the principle get the very best you can afford. It is a lot easier to use inferior utensils at home than in the confines of a boat etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MauriceMynah Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 I agree with your sentiments Kadensa, but it doesn't matter how much you pay for 'non stick' it doesn't last that long. Cheap alloy non sticks can be re-cycled rather than landfill. Now my silly question... What exactly is wrong with "Land Fill"? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
