Old business - Cookware and Marching Musicians

Kitchen updateI got some new cookwear. A big white enamel-clad Le Creuset pot with lid. At $30 it cost about as much as the rest of the stuff together, but it is a thing of beauty, the monarch of the range top, and a bargin at that sale price. I'd already had an enamel-clad pot for stuff like making big batches of red-beans or jambalaya when I have ( Read more... )

A pot is cookwear only if it used as a chef's hat.

Also, you don't look a thing like what you're supposed to.

"A pot is cookwear only if it used as a chef's hat."

That's probably the best spelling flame I've ever recieved.

"Also, you don't look a thing like what you're supposed to."

As Angelfire.com doesn't like inlining images off site, if you can't see that pic, the photo (and others of me) can be seen at http://www.angelfire.com/la/carlosmay/Photo.html .

I have never before been accused of turning into Charles Nelson Reilly. Should I apply for a regular slot on tv game shows?

is made by Prinz, right? I'm pretty sure that was one of the brands on my sister's list. Nice stuff.

Despite the current fad of heavy-gauge steel, copper's still popular with high-class chefs like the granddaddy of cuisine nouvelle. I have one friend who cooks in copper, but I don't know anything about how hard it is to strip the decorative pans. I know she said her mother whined about the patina on her pans that I thought was a lot nicer-looking than the polished, coated pans.

I think there was one advantage to brass, but not as the primary material for a pan: I think it was easier to laminate cast iron with than copper. I could be totally making this up, but I think of brass-bottomed pots as the cast-iron equivalent of RevereWare.

copper cookware was the top-o-the-line stuff at Williams-Sonoma, when I worked there. most expensive, but supposed to be the best due to uniform heat conductivity. but let me tell you - it's a BITCH to polish...
