A review worth having!
I've had really good results with this Masterclass one amzn.eu/d/gLsTO4d

Also it's not SO expensive that you can't replace it when the non-stick goes - and it always does in the end!

Excellent! My grandfather was with the RGA in the 1911 census and served through the war but I'm stuck on tracing his wartime service. Family tradition says was in India for a time but ????

The venom & bile on the other place are a pain but there are enough threads that I want to see - especially where my biases & assumptions are challenged! - that I'm not giving it up yet.

Funnily enough just started watching it last week. Up to middle of season 2 and enjoying it so far! Premise is interesting and the development makes sense. A bit soap operay at times but worth a watch.
