Hey! I am married to an Italian! I don't really have room for it either or
several of my other large pans. If I really had to, I could manage to nest
them and stuff them somewhere but most of the time I have them sitting out
on my stove. Since one or more of them gets used almost daily, that's not a
big deal. It's only a nuisance when I have to use the stove. Then I play
shift the pans.

My stove has two large and two small burners and yet there are always 6 pans
sitting on it. I can manage it if I need to use one large and one small
burner. But if I need the two large burners at once or need to use 3 or 4
burners, then I do have a problem. I have to find a place to put the pans
that I'm not using.
