My phone did that last month, and I felt like I was holding a hot potato, lol.

Keep a box of baking soda right by the stove. Learned that the hard way. A small fire extinguisher is even better. Grease fires are no joke, water just makes it worse. Smother it with the lid or that baking soda. Takes seconds to go from simmer to smoke alarm.

Ugh, that sounds rough... Honestly, stamped steel isn't always bad though, some decent brands use it to keep costs down. The real problem is that handle design and the price they charged you for it.

Space is a pretty big deal though. It's not something you just shrug off. Maybe you weren't wrong at all.

Store-bought" from a picky mom is the ultimate win. That zipper struggle makes the praise even better.
