And rattle those pots and pans!

Why are gas prices so high at the moment?  So that oil companies can pay their employees huge bonuses!  Hannah's arrived this week, and so she treated herself to new cookware.  But oh no, not any old cookware.  After extensive study she tells me these pans have a unique 5-ply bonded construction, a thick copper core that distributes heat evenly, rolled edges to promote dripless pouring, and a lifetime guarantee.

Sadly, where Hannah sees limitless culinary potential I only see more washing up, with the new job of polishing to keep these monsters in their mirror-like new condition.  They are certainly heavy, so when metal prices spike there could be good money in melting them down.  Although just that suggestion might see a frying pan transform into a deadly weapon in the hands of my wife.


The best saucepans money can buy.  Or they better be, because we're never buying any more...


Oooh, shiny.


All unboxed.  Who doesn't need two saute pans of different sizes?


It seemed funny at the time, but this little joke led to two hours in the emergency room.


Who would have thought stirring cheese sauce could elicit so much happiness?
