…. in the news again! As usual I bought a newspaper last weekend, it was the Daily Telegraph simply because we like the puzzle section and there’s lots to read over the weekend. Imagine my surprise and horror when, in the Weekend section, I found a large picture of a man holding a pan with the most disgusting mess stuck to the inside. He described how he’d fallen out of love with all his French pans and casseroles. It seems his wife decided to use one to make jam, which burnt. Now, whilst that’s a shame, forgive me for suggesting she probably should have used a preserving pan and a jam thermometer, then her jam would have been fine. He himself had tried to make a tomato sauce, turned on the heat and promptly forgot about , went shopping and came home to a dreadful mess. My humble opinion is that we should use the right pan for the right job. Don’t blame your casserole dishes – you messed up! Rant over 😉
