The Sam Vimes “Boots” theory of socioeconomic unfairness, often called simply the boots theory, is an economic theory that people in poverty have to buy cheap and subpar products that need to be replaced repeatedly, proving more expensive in the long run than more expensive items.

    Ooh! Ooh! I know this one!!!

    We got stainless last year and learned that you need to preheat the pan! Put it on the burner, fire it up and wait a few minutes. Get your hands wet and flick some water on the pan, if your pan is ready, those water drops will dance all over the surface of the pan. (I mean literally dance. If it’s not fun to watch, it’s not ready.)

    Your sticking problems are OVER!
