Long story short, I finally got around to opening my gifts.
Holy shit! Twenty years and nearly 1000 pages of Cook's Illustrated recipes. Hell, I could probably cancel my subscription now and just use this for the rest of my life.
I also got another spatula, which is quite nice as I can cook twice before having to wash a spatula. It's actually the same spatula I bought previously, as recommended by Cook's (master chef spatule pelton spatula, if anyone is interested).
Thanks SS...
er, thanks Secret Santa!
