Having thought about this since you posted before, I think I would have
*insisted* that she return it. It’s not as thought you were the best of
friends. And why would you care what she thought? “Indian giver, my a**!

A couple of my Le Creuset saucepans had wooden handles, and although I
never had any problem with them burning, I would always remove the handles
before putting the pan in the dishwasher (you know my penchant for putting
everything in the dishwasher). Anyway, those couple of pieces I
finally gave away because it was just too inconvenient to deal with.

I think I know the pot your talking about.

Ah, yes, I do remember the decade when Dansk stoneware was so popular. I
thought many of the patterns were nice, but the sound of utensils
screeching across the matte glaze of plates would have driven me nuts, like
fingernails on a blackboard. Of course, a coffeepot would not have that
problem. I have a few nice storage pieces and jugs (not Dansk) with a
glaze like that, but they don’t ever interact with metal to make such a
sound.
