Panarama

Despite being a curmudgeon, I am no stranger to the kitchen - I can whip up some franks and beans or SPAM on a moment's notice.  So I know what's important in a good pan, and let me tell you, it's not because it looks good or appears on all the trendy TV shows.

But, to my chagrin, this household is fashionable pan-wise.  That's just so important - one should have pans that reflect good styling and current trends, rather than practicality.  And, fashionable pans let you pay a premium for their good looks.

Rather than practical cooking pans, you know, easy-to-clean, designed so the handles stay cool, non-stick, etc., we have to be fashionable.  I will admit I fell prey to harvest gold pans in the 70s, but I like to think I learned from that.  

Between Teflon pans and Corelle dishware, any curmudgeon would be a happy camper.
