I was hustling around the kitchen, juggling pots and plates, trying to get dinner on the table. I sat this pan on a hot pad on the counter and noticed it wasn’t quite level, but figured I’d straighten it out “in a minute”.
This is what I discovered when I cleared the table after we ate.
I have no idea how – or if – I am going to get the gunk off the bottom of the saucepan. Aaargh!
