Pot porn

Just a note to say that neither of the Cuisinart frypans were large enough to hold two 1-lb tenderloins, so I used the5.5 quart casserole, which is like a sauté pan without the handle. Worked a treat, and fit better in my small oven than a pan with a handle would have. Very easy clean up, too. Hot water soak, followed by Bartenders Helper. These pans are more delicate than what I'm used to--I managed to scratch the inside of one of the pots with the scrubbing side of a scrubber sponge, and scratched another pot when I used metal tongs to toss pasta. Oh well. If I wanted them to look perfect, I would hang them on the wall and live on take-out.

We now return you to your regular Sunday night...

After yesterday's t-loins, I found a stain on the casserole cooking surface that looked like baked-on stuff. Hit it a couple times with Bon Ami, but that didn't budge it. So, I tried something other folks had suggested for s/s stains, and rinsed the surface with white vinegar straight from the bottle. The stain, which was whitish and may have been caused by a mineral deposit or reaction with food, vanished.

One of the things I bought during today's grocery run was a gallon bottle of white vinegar. I want to make sure I have lots on hand.
