I may never buy kitchen stuff new again. Dropped by Goodwill yesterday, and found a couple Pyrex baking dishes I’ve been needing for a long time.
Wish I’d had these when I cooked my blue potatoes. Note to self: Cupcake pans are not good substitutions for a baking dish.
I immediately tried to bake this new tofu casserole thing. Didn’t turn out, but it wasn’t the fault of the dishes –
Also found a couple airtight jars, one for coffee, one for lentils.
Cost for all 4: $13 and change. I still have my eye out for a salad spinner –
Hee hee! That is too cute that you baked those in cupcake pans the first time. I bake the blue potatoes in a Pyrex baking dish, too. I hope if you try it again, they turn out delicious.

Goodwill–SO much better than Ikea, no?
And cupcake pans may make lousy potatoes, but they make wonderful cupcakes!

You can find anything at Ikea. You find serendipity at Goodwill. I found my salad spinner at GW, hot looking red Italian designer thing that probably gets more compliments than anything else I own!
And don’t even get me started on the money I’ve saved on cutting boards at GW…
…and on replacement toaster ovens that fit my under-counter mount, unlike any of the new models…
I’m gonna go splurge all my savings RIGHT NOW!!!

Yup all the good stuff is at the thrift stores. Almost all my dishes are. They seem more solid than this new Target stuff.

Jill — Will def. try again :)
I agree with the older dishes being more solid in a lot of ways. Hopefully these pyrex dishes’ll last a long long time –
