Oh, and a saucepan. I had a lovely four quart Revereware saucepan and lid, but I forgot it was on the fire the day the guy came back and trimmed our trees and now it's charred too, well beyond redemption. Sheesh.

Sorry for the derail, folks...

Bit - the oven might be a simple fix. Ours was fritzy until the lower element caught fire one day (luckily we were in the kitchen when it happened). Bought the replacement element online for less than $20 and it was an easy replacement - couple screws. I think we still need to replace the upper element, but am holding off in hopes of a new macdaddy gas range for our Christmas prezzie!
