Today's discovery: I have never had to think about the measured volume of a saucepan. I grew up with a certain size, and would just buy similar ones from a store. But this week I got tired of having just one saucepan, what with making soup and steaming and cooking beans and popcorn, and since there's no handy store nearby, I ordered one from Amazon. Most offered a choice of 1 or 2 quarts, so I assumed 2 quarts was good.

I was wrong. Or at least, it is not the size I was expecting. The old saucepan, personally picked out as Target, turns out to be a 3 quart. (How do I know? I poured water from a measuring cup repeatedly.)

I can probably still use the new one for steaming, at least. (Though I also need to get a Philips screwdriver to secure the handle. I'm not used to having to assemble saucepans either, vs. just grabbing one off the shelf.) But if anything I'd wanted a bigger pot, since I can fill up the old one pretty quickly when making soup.
