Hi Shawn,

Not a problem. I need to refill my grinder; this is a good reminder.

Your choice, my choice. The pot came with the steamer insert and I can
use the insert for steaming more than eggs. Had an "oopsie" with the
collapsable basket once--Steve put some eggs in it, put some water in a
small pot and then started the eggs to steam. I was in the back part of
the house working on a sewing project; Steve was in the front (near the
kitchen) working on a frustrating project. All the water in the pot
evaporated and the pot started "welding" itself to the electric coil.
About that time Steve smelled it, went into the kitchen and picked up
the pot. A chunk of the hot aluminum bottom fell out onto the counter,
giving it a burn spot (this was a rental house), but not going below the
surface. There's a product on the market called Gianni Granite--makes it
look like you have a granite counter top and goes over the formica.
Steve used that to restore the counter top, even impressed our landlord
when he saw it. The pot was also replaced. (G)
