Now I am upset, no one is interested in my pots and pans list 
Of course we are, we are just trying to imagine that collection  Now, what colour are they? Are there any extraordinary things you cooked/simmered/stir-fried/fried/stewed/baked/deep-fried/boiled/steamed in them? How do you wash them? Or scrub them?

What an impressive list of pots and pans....and these are the ones you use the most? Good girl, you steam thngs. You seem to make a lot of sauce? Paella? you make paella?....I LOVE paella! I make it also, but unlike you, there is no special paella dish in my home. I make mine with chcken, sucuk, rice, capers, saffron, garlic, pimientos......it is one of those dishes one can improvise a great deal with.
I didn´t notice any frying pans in your list. You seem to use a lot of saucepans and roasting pans....I guess you use the oven a lot?
Now you didn´t tell us what material the pans are made out of....
My pots and pans list that I use the most!
1 double steamer (to steam my veggies)
1 extra large saucepan
1 large saucepan
1 medium saucepan
2 small saucepans (one for boiling milk)
Large frying pan
Small frying pan
Paella pan (nearly forgot that  
A pirex roasting/caserole dish with lid
Roasting tin (for the Turkey at Christmas)
Roasting dish for my roast potatoes
Lasagne dish (for uhmmmm my lasagne but also for roasting veggies)
and various other little dishes and pirex caseroles dishes
phewwwww now I have got that off my chest

This thread, apart from sounding like a Women´s Institute blog, is a bit confusing for non-USA peeps! For example.
- "Oatmeal" - - - is that porridge?
- And... if you ARE talking about porridge, why the big fuss? It is one of the easiest things to cook in the world! Actually Alameda you need to forget your prejudice and buy a microwave as it makes the best porridge and the fluffiest, lightest scrambled eggs!
- When you say "double boiler" do you mean stove or cooker? A boiler for us is something that powers your central heating and has nothing to do with cooking!
So don´t DARE to complain about regional idioms

I thought porridge was a thick soup..nice to know it´s actually oatmeal.  I agree eggs and oatmeal (porridge) is great in a microwave. We do use the term "boiler" for heating but more often refer to the term furnace. I´m not sure what the difference between a stove and cooker. I thought the stove was the cooker.. We have stoves on the top and the bottom is an oven. But you can also buy a counter range and have a seperate oven. When I think of cooker...it usually refers to a slow cooker. Like a crock pot. Do you have crock pots?

Apparently, porridge is what is made from oatmeal.... and oatmeal is rolled oats. Porridge can also be made from other cereals, but we Brits only know it being made from oats (oatmeal).

Alameda...........
"Taking the mickey" is an alternative way of saying "taking the p***" . "Taking the mickey/mick/michael" was an original ryhming slang from the Cockney part of London and was taken from the word "microtate " to urinate.
