A pot that is a bit easier to cook with or a pot that is a bit easier to clean?

I have a metal pot that has it's lid handle fallen off with the screw sticking out that helps us a bit to use what otherwise render the pot useless. It is also very easy to clean. In the other corner we have a creamic/pottery/whatever pot that has a slightly chipped bottom but the handle by no means has fallen off. The chipped bottom makes it harder to clean.

Which would you prefer to cook with knowing that you had to clean it after?

One with which it's easier to clean. i clean as i go, rinse and put things in the dishwasher. One could always leave the cleaning for the submissive that's cooking in the house as well. http://aaotracker.4players.de/Images/smilies/angel.gif

"Fumes generated from any type of cookware, not just non-stick, can adversely affect pet birds under negligent cooking conditions. With unusually sensitive respiratory systems, birds can also be injured by many other kinds of household fumes, including aerosol sprays, burning butter or oils, and cleaning solvents. Therefore, bird owners need to take precautions to protect pet birds from cooking fumes by keeping birds out of the kitchen; observing good cooking practices in accordance with cookware manufacturers' recommendations, never allowing cookware to overheat, and keeping cooking areas well-ventilated at all times." ~ Dr. Karen Rosenthal, DVM MS, an Avian Veterinarian and Director of Special Species Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, recently discussed safety and care for domesticated birds.

One also needs to wonder why you'd keep a bird in the kitchen anyway unless you were planning to eat it. :catgrin:

Ok, that's creepy.

Not because I have birds, but because...well...canary in a coalmine.
 
That's why if you have birds, especially the smarter ones like parrots or cockatiels you're supposed to be sure they're in cages when you're cooking. They're sociable as well as curious (more like nosy, really!) and will follow you around to see what you're doing and all that.

Uh, yeah, any heated surface does that dear.

Did the bird dance http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-8/363868/chicken.gif, or just keel over?

i really need a "biting my lips to keep from busting a gut" emoticon.
Are you related to Sir Winston?


ok im gonna try to 'splain this right this time.

The bird died because there were (im assuming) particles of teflon in the air after the new pot was used and the birds tiny lil lungs just 'sploded.

Are you accusing me of plucking the feathers off a chicken before i cut it's head off for Sunday dinner?


No, I was observing the way you ran KC through a couple of hoops over the Teflon thing, and trying not to make Teflon Dom jokes. Obviously, it didn't work....
