I don't have *any* pots or pans that are less than 10 years old. Even a couple
of Revere Ware skillets that I aquired a few years ago on FreeCycle were 20 0r
more years old when I adopted them.

My newest electric appliance is a DeLonghi indoor grille with the heating
elements in the bars of the grille - which is great whe I don't want to freeze
me arse grilling in the winter. It works well for what it is ... but is not the
same as (even) a gas grill for proper grilling.   Bv)=

Whoops ... I forgot. I have a brand new 10 quart rice cooker/steamer that I got
from the Coke Rewards program. It's been sitting, still in its shipping carton
near my front door for a couple months. I only got the thing because Co' Cola
changed their "rewards" program to allow a maximum of 2000 reward points to be
built up. So, rather than lose the points I already had before the deadline
date and not wanting ANY of the kid oriented 'hip hop' merchandise offered - I
picked the cooker to get me below the 2000 point threshold. As my current rice
cooker and steamer works well I may never even open this one beyond taking it
out of the shipping box to wrap it as a present for someone.   Bv)=
