Thanks P.
I'm in good sted/stead, as I wipe the bottom of pots before putting them on
my nasty elements, too. I think I would be tempted to scoot them, rather
than ask DH to lift and place. I guess it would take a little getting used
to to PLACE the pots directly in the circle every time. When I was 'larnin'
to color' I never could keep inside the lines while all the others were
doing it regularly.
