It's a perfectly good heavy frying-pan, except the non-stick surface has
worn away and it's a nuisance to cook with, but it seems very wasteful
simply to get rid of it. Is it worth doing anything else with it?


Just had a genuine idea:

Cut down the rim at both sides of the handle and round the bottom edge of
the pan (removing the sides) so that you are left with the handle attached
to the flat base.

It will make an admirable peel.

er, what's a peel?
