rattling pots and pans

My order from Lodge cast Iron arrived. Unfortunately, they sent me the griddle pan instead of the grill pan, so there will be returning cometh the weekend. But, the skillet is pre-seasoned, so there will be experiments with salmon tonight.

In other news, learned the hard way that I cannot toss salt into the new stainless steel pans and let it sit on the bottom, The 3-qt sauce pan now has a few tiny white spots on the bottom as a result of last week's pasta cooking, which are likely permanent. I also learned that my water must have lots of calcium, because a smudgy rainbow stain formed inside the small skillet after I washed it. However, a rinse with warm white vinegar cleaned it right up.
