I agree that they each have their own personality. I enjoyed hearing about your pan experiences and got a chuckle about you using a hammer to adjust a pan.<br /><br />Thanks for asking I have been cooking more securely with the pans. They heat up remarkably faster and more even. I made a simple and delicious lentil soup with sausage; also made a pesto tossed angel hair, chicken and veggie pasta. Still trying to come up with more interesting, healthy recipes. I checked out a few healthy cooking magazines from the library.Rebbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08117210892683574784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4322097819850058517.post-42948271532383096892011-06-12T21:34:27.804-07:002011-06-12T21:34:27.804-07:00I meant to respond earlier.

We have two frying pans but neither is good for sunny-side up.<br /><br />In fact we have a motley collection of pans & I see the advantage of not having a co-ordinated set, for each has its own characteristics. A big aluminium one for soup, an enamelled cast-iron one for lots of purposes, several lighter ones for steaming, etc.<br /><br />I managed to convert one of the frying pans to an improved shape for sunny-side eggs: with a hammer! Its base had gone convex, so that the oil guttered into the edge. I've almost made it flat, or a little concave, so it puddles in the middle.<br /><br />How are you getting on now with the pans, in the interval since you posted this?Vincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18297306807695767580noreply@blogger.com
