She used stuff that is twice the price of titanium. French copper pans are outrageously priced.Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

It's all about not burning food, or reacting poorly with acids, or not discoloring cream sauces, or sticking, or looking really cool.
Most professional kitchens use aluminum because when your buying 60 ten inch saute pans spending$150+ isn't going to work. I worked in one kitchen which had about 100 saute pans.Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

Went to the zoo yesterday which was cool.
We were going to go to the Navy museum but it's closed to the public. Only those with DOD credentials are allowed since the credentialed ex-navy civilian contractor went on a shooting spree. Only in government would you close the site to the public who didn't do anything wrong.Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

I know I am late to the party, but I found the 1st lady collection one of the more fascinating exhibits in DC. It is up on the mall. Don't recall which building.
I am trying to maintain my high standards of helpfulness. How am I doing?
Found it. Fixed it.

The air and space museum is fantastic. I just hate the traffic.
We stayed in Alexandria and took the Metro in to everywhere except the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center which we drove to on the first morning. The Metro is the best way to get around.Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

Copper for beating egg whites. And in case you wanted to know why:

Extremely rare to see copper bowls actually being used in a commercial kitchen. Mostly we just prechill the mixing bowl. The electric mixers we use have bowls that are about 1/4" thick and after coming out of the dishwasher at 180° need to be iced down before using again anyway.
There is the right way to do most things and then there is the way things are actually done.Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

Hikerboy should have saved those titanium tent pegs and used them as skewers, for grilling.I am human and I need to be loved - just like everybody else does

Oh please, oh please let the answer be titanium.
A mix of 20+ year old anodized, cheap aluminum and cast iron.

I have a few spiders too. I cook a hamburger in a tiny one once in a while.
This is what we call a spider.Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.

Technically a spider should have 3 legs to keep it stable in coals, but my great grandmother referred to all cast iron frying pans as spiders. She was born in 1899 and was an excellent cook. She taught my mother to cook. I thought everyone called them spiders until I went shopping for my own.Non hikers are about a psi shy of a legal ball.The post was edited 1 time, last by BirdBrain ().

I was thinking about Julia. I'm pretty sure she opted for the "right" way to do it. But there are better options as Julia explored. Read this...

Rast happened to start this thread on the 26th of July, which happened to be the last day of my first trip to DC.
I stayed at the DC Hostel International on The corner of 11th St NW and K St. Which was great cheap lodging right in downtown at $35 a night.
I saw the American History museum and was simply awed by the Star Spangled Banner. Glad it was dark in there because I actually cried while looking at it.
Got out to Arlington to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. And found the grave of General John Pershing. It was amazing to find that such a man, second only to George Washington, had such a simple unassuming soldier's grave.
Of couse I hit all the memorials on the Mall, and found that the Korean War memorial is simply the most beautiful of them all.
And at the WW2 Memorial I got to meet a 10th Mountian Division vet. Recognize him?Of course I talk to myself... sometimes I need expert advice. -

This was Memorial Day, 2008, with my son.
