Hmph! Cauldrons are too good for other stuff! At least, they are for me. (Yet another metrysy unveiled - Lehman's and some camping supply stores carry very nice dutch ovens that work very well for this sort of thing...) I don't believe I will ever forget the reaction I got once when I was questioning a merchant on whether a particular style of cauldron was foodsafe (very cute, but some are treated with stuff you don't want in your food) and a woman who had overheard me sniffed and informed me that it was sacrelige for me to consider cooking in a cauldron.*blink* *blink*One of my circle sisters overheard and was quicker with a response than I was... just what did this woman imagine cauldrons came from, anyway? Anyway, my friend answered, "No, for her to have the means to cook, but not to do so, now *that* would be a waste and I'd call her on it if she didn't." It turned out that the item in question wasn't foodsafe anyway (which still appalls me.)
