My birthday present LOL

10 years ago

last modified: 10 years ago

You'll all appreciate a good kitchen gadget. I have always, forever, bought the real cheap screen-style splatter screens for skillets. They invariably come apart from the thin rim.

Today we bought a real doozy, a stainless-steel contraption made by Calphalon. It fits 8, 10 and 12" skillets, which I love. This one won't fall apart!!

It works great! I used it tonite and I was watching the steam go out the window and up the vent. Hubby says it's washes up slick as anything. He's the dishwasher.

Have you tried it? Wondering if it would not let enough steam out and your "stuff" would steam....and you will be back to the cheapies.
I bought a "wonderful thing"....at the thrift store! LOL! My antique round cast iron griddle broke and I have not found another.....I know Lodge....but they are not like my old one...sob!
Well I found a very heavy stainless square flat, very shiny griddle...flat top...whatever! About 12 inches square.
I am in love! Perfect for 4 small pancakes...or one pretty big one,2 grilled cheese sandwiches and warming a tortilla.

Amazing the things that make us happy!

Well, I had to install the camera software back on my computer since I didn't do after changing the hard drive but I got er done. Here are the cuteys. The pictures aren't the best but better than the third pic which I wish had came out clear. It was of them peaking out from under one of the pillows. Oh, their names are Lilo and Scratch. G'day, Scott

Thanks all. I'm really excited. I've been wanting to do something like this for years, but it's only recently that work has let me stay local long enough to make even a brief commitment. And thanks for the birthday wishes - but you all sent them weeks ago on my actual birthday! ;) p.s. Annie - I immediately thought of you when I read the sentence "Most importantly, youÂll gain the experience you need to cook with confidence and pleasure---without relying strictly on recipes." LOL!

Would it be appropriate or possible to have someone else there to take the picture, to get the look on her face when she realizes what it is, as you'll be busy with the giving? ole joyful

Looks sturdy. You can always drill out the holes if needed. Should take an evening. Think of it like quilting, but noisier.
