Yesterday I posted about the Valentine's Day gifts I got from my family. One of the things in that package, and the original intent of the package was the pot to replace our old big pot. Our old pot has been around for several years. It was part my older sister's cookware when she was in college and has been used to make chili and Mac & Cheese at each of our annual camping trips since high school as well.

This pot, however, has come to the end of its life. Recently I made a pot of Mac & Cheese to see what looked like pepper flakes in my food. You and I both know that no one would put pepper on their Kraft Mac & Cheese. Instead, these flakes were flakes of the inside of the pot.

So yesterday the new pot comes and today I put them side by side after thinking the box seemed small. The added benefits of this new pot were that it had a lid (the old pot's lid has gone missing), and that it was even bigger than the last one. This judgment had been based on a misinterpretation of the measurements and the picture shown of it in comparison to other sizes and pictures on the same page. As you can see, the pot on the right is in fact not bigger, or the same size as the old pot. Fortunately we should not need a pot that big, and the smaller size is outweighed by the freeness of the pot as well as the health hazard the old pot has become.
