MIANSAI 14K GOLD GRILL SET

There's no guarantee they'll make your food taste any better, but Miansai's set of 14K gold grilling tools will ensure you're the fanciest chef on the block. The set includes a spatula, fork, knife, and tongs, all rendered in solid 14-karat polished gold. Each tool measures 18 inches long, and is undoubtedly the most expensive version you could find, even if they're unlikely to be any better than the $10 steel version for sale at the local big-box store.

$65000 USD

BUY FROM MIANSAI / $65,000

If I saw my neighbor with those, I'd never talk to him again.

14k gold knife blade?

I'm sitting here staring at those things trying to figure out what to say......I got nothin'

Not for me. I’d put that money into the best grill, smoker and pizza oven.

Minus the one you bought?

I'll be the jerk. It's funny how people malign these tools yet shell out for double banded EL or RE cigars.

I have a Realtor friend that "only smokes Limited Edition habanos" would definitely buy them.

My issue with it is simply that gold is just way too soft for this usage.

Like the gimmick of gold wrapper on a cigar????

It’s also an excellent conductor of heat! What fun.

$65,000 for a gaudy set of grill tools seems a bit more ludicrous than paying double for a 'more luxurious version' of a luxury product like cuban cigars.  I do understand the analogy, but still, I tend to think that if so many people weren't testifying about how great some of the ELs and REs are the extra band alone wouldn't be enough to sell them (not as successfully, anyway).

14K gold (depending on the alloy composition) can be as hard as lower-end steel.  Still... these things are ridiculous.

If those things were made with steel, they'd still be shitty tools that don't function correctly.  Must be art or maybe fancy serving utensils.  Doesn't make sense to me.

Are you saying you don't think the gold tools are ridiculous?  Or are you just trying to take a swipe at anyone that buys double banded cigars?  The analogy isn't really in the same ballpark.

I think William Morris said.  "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful"

These fail on both counts.   They are painfully ugly, and as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

From the company that brought you man jewelry. They're just doing this to get everyone talking about the company and sharing this link. That way someone may click on other products and buy some lame bracelet.

Jerk!

It's always interesting for me to see how people can get bent out of shape over how others spend their own money. Cigars, humidors, cars, watches, houses.....

I would not be using them for cooking ?

If I saw my neighbour with them, I'd be borrowing his gear... and forgetting to return them or move suddenly.

Gold is a wonderful conductor of heat.... good luck holding that on the BBQ !

$65,000 for 4 grill tools? I love grilling, but think of all the other things i could get with that money. Boxes of Sir Winston's, CoRo's, Lusitania's, maybe even a Behike or two. Yup, I know which option I would pick.

You can get some rolls of toilet paper for that price...
