If you've got one of those can openers that cuts from the side rather than =
down, you can use the lid from an appropriately sized can as a heat spreade=
r. Whole lot cheaper and lighter.

Here's a little trick I've learned to minimize burning food in your
cookpot.

The most difficult things to make are those entrees that are not "soupy". =

But here's a trick.  =


Get hold of the bottom of an old aluminum pan or kettle from a garage sale.
 Cut the bottom into a 6 inch diameter disk.  Instead of putting your
cookpot directly over the flame, put the disk on first, then put the pot on
top of it.  =


Stainless steel and titanium cookpots are wonderful, but they're not very
efficient materials for dissipating the heat evenly.  The aluminum disk
will help to spread the heat evenly.  =


What I'm waiting for is for my wife to turn her back long enough that I can
take the tin snips to her "Air Bake" cookie sheet.
