Sorry but the questions asked were as dumb as which end of the knife
to hold. At least google a bit before you ask. If he had he'd have
found tons of basic information and could have come back to fine tune
what he was confused about. Why make others waste keystrokes when the
information is already out there in complete form. I just asked about
an unusual pan I got but I googled first.
