My old inexpensive 2 qt. pan was deteriorating and I felt justified looking for a replacement. It took many web searches but the description - below - on this one is what sold me. Best of all it is red! (and no shipping charge.) At first I had to break loose with the old one which has served well for many years so I made the decision to toss it in the trash can. There! Then I went shopping.
"The saucepan is dishwasher safe and nonstick in addition to being PFOA-free, Lead-free, and Cadmium free. 4mm of Forged Aluminum provides a thicker stronger saucepan that is coated with three layers of premium QuanTanium nonstick titanium coating. Titanium-coated aluminum is scratch resistant and almost three times more durable than classic Polytetrafluoroethylene ceramic and granite-coated saucepans. The Nonstick Titanium Sauce Pan is made in Turkey with the highest quality aluminum coating sourced from Whitford England that utilizes the latest technology. Enjoy reliable even heating with a nonstick saucepan that heats up faster and is built to last."
The day after it arrived I tried it out with a very old recipe.

ReplyDeleteI used to make pickled beets from my mother's recipe. Our middle son loved them. I really should make him more since he is here so much. And, I am sure he would love the pickled eggs, as well.
