So, I happened to tune into a local commercial radio station to hear the weather report, and there was an ad by some group talking about how #Maine Governor #JanetMills was taking away everyone's morning coffee! Of course, that was republican scaremongering, since the ban is on #CoffeeMakers that have #PFAS and other #Foreverchemicals as part of their parts and/or seals. Simple solution to that. BUY A STOVETOP COFFEE POT! That's what I grew up drinking, and that's what I use now. I wouldn't use an aluminum one, but the stainless steel ones aren't expensive, and if cleaned properly, produce great tasting coffee for YEARS!

Excerpt: "The new ban includes children's #toys, #cosmetics, #cookware, and #cleaning products [and some electric coffeemakers].

"It also includes reusable water bottles, #upholstery, #clothing, and feminine products.

" 'This is an important step in moving forward with eliminating unnecessary uses of intentionally added PFAS, to protect the public from exposure, as well as the environment,' said Kerri Farris, with the #MaineDEP #SaferChemicalsProgram."

Found another Revere Ware pan to add to my collection on #TreasureHuntTuesday. (The 1.5 quart saucepan for $3.50 US.) People see blackened bottoms with caked on food and think they're junk. I only see possibilities. #CookWare #RevereWare #pots #cooking #CopperClad #kitchen

"nonstick? you get a nonstick, for the coating, and once the coating comes off it becomes a stick"

Got me a new pan at Aldi today.

Sure, I have no use for a mini wok, but I really like the size, the base is slightly smaller than the pan I use most
