Further to the boiling jars to equalise pressures hint, today, for the
huge sum of £1.50 I bought (in a charidee siop) a stainless steel
saucepan - handle on either side - 8.5 inches high and 5.5 inches across
- means I can keep my (a bit taller, and with an inner basket) asparagus
pan for vegetables innit.
