Maybe we can narrow down what is allowed and what isn't? Are cookers okay or are we over a camp fire type situation? Gas or electric? Both allowed?

Some Dulux Easycare paint for the smallest room in the house.
Looks nice - deep fossil?

Thank you. I just got some motivation to get started on the en-suite next. Hopefully I'll have that painted by tomorrow.

Nice. I’m really looking forward to painting our house, but we have to wait for a bit longer.

I'm sure they are the same tiles that we have, yours looks great. What is the finishing price across the top of the tiles please?
Also is the floor laminate or vinyl?

Is this thread only for self-validation? Surely the point is that everyone is allowed their opinion, even if it is negative?
The underlying purpose of this thread seems to be “look at me, I bought something”, which is a little daft anyway.

There’s negative opinion and there’s just being plain rude. It’s more the tone that annoyed me. Just plain rude and aggressive. Like I’m some sort of idiot for buying a meat thermometer.

Excellent, used it today for Sunday roast, came out far more juicy and tender than when I followed the supermarket instructions.Any good? I bought a cheap one ages ago but this definitely looks more "gadgetry"
This was the pork. Nice bubbling crackling.

I don't think I've ever made roast pork. Inspired. Thanks Rob
Well done on the crackling too!

It’s quite easy, just score the fat with crisscross cuts and 5 mins before cooking, generously rub salt all over the fat. Brings the crackling up lovely.
You got me thinking of buying one of these nowGot myself a Meater

Oh god! I'm seeing this at 5am. I wouldn't mind a slice of that on a sandwich right now.

Hi there, I'm not sure of the specific tile edging trim used but it appears to be this (or nearly this) colour but with a brushed effect.

The floor is engineered wood.
Edit:
Actually, this one may be a better match colour-wise:

I think it’s a great bit of kit having had it about a year or so now. Has saved roasts that would have been ruined if I had just gone on weight based timings for sure. The fact that it’s plotting the temperature throughout cooking also means it’s giving you good predicted finish times and resting times also which can make your other timings easier. Doing a roast dinner is all about getting your timings of everything to be just right at same time and this definitely makes it easier AND it’s a gadget, and who doesn’t love a gadget?
What's the difference between that and a £10 thermometer (or a £20 wireless one)?

Thank you, one other question if you don't mind, curious to know if the ceiling matches the walls or if you went white?
Thanks again

No problem. I left the ceiling white.
