A Lert X-posted = Shed/Caff
A Nother Lert = oven glove required
Awhile ago I spotted a small ad - can't remember where, but I suspect it
was in the EAstern Daily Press, but it might have been online somewhere.
The item in question is presently simmering on the floor surrounded by
small pieces of eigh^h^h^h^well-overcooked On!on and celery, a situation
precipitated - and I mean precipitated by the handle being cast 'in
unit' with the cast-iron pan.
As usual I wrapped a folded kitchen tissue round said handle and picked
up the pan -momentarily.
Some part of me* came into contact with the enamel coating of the
cast-iron handle (not Handel) and the pan, not exactly designed for
flight** flew.
* Base of thumb
** Except for launching (not lunching) by irate distaff side.
I offer this sad tale for the benefit of friers. (Not necesscelery friars)

To err is human. To really foul things up requires a computer and the BOFH.

suitable metal cake dish at the right height inside, I can do a full
English innit. Oh bliss!
I have also bought a pan that is plastic coated metal, that claims I can
do the same in a microwave. But reading the destructions that mostly
consist of DO NOT, and warns me to turn it off if it starts sparking, I
am a little more wary of it.
The prospective X^5 will be trying it out this weekend in our caravan in
the Yorkshire Moors.
Maybe I should have bought a fire extinguisher?
Ooower.

Yes seen those. Most these days are used as decorations on ye olde eating
houses.
Baack in the early days of non stick pans, we had a nice set of these
including a frying pan. They all had one design flaw. the threaded piece
that the handle screwed into, was brazed to the pan. However the screw kept
coming loose and the pan wobbled. So you did the screw up. After a few
months the brazing gave way and the pan with its contents went on the floor
leaving you holding the handle. The company was Prestige. They did refund
the money, but I'd never buy their stuff again.

A small strip of PTFE tape wrapped round the thread and the nut
tightened over it prevents your promble.
