Default Pots and pans.

I just ordered a metal, deep lasagna pan. Thank you Sheldon for the link!
I did not get the one you posted at Amazon but the deeper one at OSP/Brylane
Home. The link for it showed below but when I tried to order it, the link
was no longer valid. I did however track it down and I also ordered this:

So I should be set for a while at least with pots and pans. But... It
occurred to me just now that I rarely use any of my smaller pans any more.
I guess my microwave has replaced those things! Used to be if I needed to
reheat a leftover, I would use the oven or the top of the stove. Now I
rarely reheat leftovers this way. Perhaps soup because if done in the
microwave, the container I use gets too hot.

I do have a large Revereware Dutch Oven but they do not make Revereware like
they used to. Hopefully this will work better. Mostly I use my two
Circulon pans, one being like a deep skillet and the other more of a rounded
shape but still like a skillet, my Rachael Ray pasta pot or my old
Revereware pan that I pop popcorn in. I tend to use that for other things
too. Rice, heating a can of soup, etc. I think I have only pulled out my
smaller pans maybe a few times since I moved here.

Do you find that you use your pans less now, if you have a microwave? I
realize that not all people here do have them. My mom doesn't cook a lot
but when she does, she seems to use a lot of pans. Perhaps more than I
would if I were to make the same meal.
