Nesting Pots and Pans Without Scratching

If you're like me and have to nest your pots and pans to conserve precious storage space in the kitchen, you know that this can scratch the inside surfaces of your cookware. And if there is a protective, nonstick coating on those inside surfaces, your food will, then, start sticking to the pots and pans when you cook in them regardless of how careful you are to use the proper non-scratch tools to stir and turn the food while cooking. Also, there's a chance that those scratched coatings will become flaky and wind up in your food as you cook. Gross! So, today, I'm going to share a little secret with you that will prevent those scratches from happening.

Simply place a barrier between them! I use paper towels as they should last for a while before I need to replace them - and paper towels are thin so that there isn't any added bulk when I use them. But old dish towels or soft, cotton fabrics may be a better choice for you. Any soft barrier used between pots and pans will protect them. This protective barrier will also serve as a dust barrier, so it's a good idea to place your choice barrier inside the top pot or pan as well.

I just got this cute, magnetic steel set of pots and pans to use with the single inductive eye that we purchased to use during power outages (because it has lower wattages that can be used with our power bank); although, these can be used on any cooking surface. I do want to mention that the stock pot is smaller than what comes with most cookware sets, which is fine for my purposes since this isn't my main cookware. And it would likely be fine for cooking small meals for 1 or 2 people or warming up leftover stews and soups. These pots and pans pictured have a ceramic coating, and my other set of pots and pans have the stronger anodized Granitestone cooking surface. No more Teflon for me!

I hope this little secret helps you if you need to nest your pots and pans. 

Until next time, take care,

Patricia

New Christian T-shirts Designed and Listed on Etsy

I just finished designing a couple of Christian T-shirts and listing them on Etsy. You can read more about these and keep up with new arrivals on my Digital Potpourri Blog. If you have a custom request, you can contact us via Etsy messages . We'll be happy to try to produce a t-shirt to your liking as long as there is nothing profane, vulgar, immoral, licensed, trademarked or involving hate related to the design. One of the tees reads Love Obey Trust with bible books, chapters, and verses that coincide with these words. The other states God Lives Here with "Here" inside a heart shaped from mini hearts. So, basically 2 messages. God Lives and He lives in our hearts. 😇 Thanks for dropping by to read my updates today, Patricia

Finally a Few Nice Days in a Row

I've been waiting and waiting for spring temps to arrive for more than a couple of days without rain. And this is the week! We finally have some color in the yard and on our deck. So, I want to share what my husband, son, and I have been up to for the last few days. First of all, we had our first cookout on Sunday, April 28 to celebrate our younger son's birthday. That officially kicks off spring. I mixed the first batch of hummingbird nectar a couple of weeks ago, hoping the males would take advantage while the females were tending to their nests. As far as we can tell, 1 male has visited twice. Of course, we can't look out the window all of the time. But we do look out frequently. And we hang them in 2 locations that we can see directly from the kitchen windows. The rose bushes started blooming about a week ago, and I finally had time to take pictures of them. I pulled out the grass and weeds that were growing around them a couple of hours after I took the front-facing ...

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI

Image Pixels to Inches, Flip Image, and Increasing DPI These are simple tips I want to share with those of you who are like me and do not have fancy programs to help when needing to convert pixels to inches, find out how many pixels an image has, and increase DPIs for better print quality. My tips are based on a Windows 11 OS and may not work on other systems. However, you may be able to do an internet search to explore your OS options based on the information I have provided below. I do not receive any compensation from these two sites listed. I use them because they are easy, free, and safe to use. These tips are helpful if you need to quickly figure how many pixels you need for a certain number of inches so you can print the right size every time without guessing and wasting printer ink until you do get it right. Also, sometimes, a print needs to be flipped (mirrored, reversed) for transfers. And last but not least, if you’re selling printable items, a higher DPI is needed for ...
