My New Buono

[CAGurl]

just arrived, and she is purty.
but....

is there anything written there in Japanese that I need to know?

Do I need to "season" it?
Can I put it directly on the gas stove?

Help...

It is a "he."  <grins>  And "he" is stately, handsome.

I always wash new metal kitchen products in a hot, palm oil dish detergent, rinsing in very hot water.  This is to rid it of any residual manufacturing oils.

Then fire him up.

I assume this is what you're talking about?:

If so, I'd either wash it down (inside and out) with warm, soapy water or just throw the sucker in the dishwasher before your first use.

Oh now, there will definitely be a ruckus in the kitchen if that is the case.
But, I think you are mistaken.
The one I got is light and delicate and very girly....

Susan, you are a hoot.  That is a guy-pot, a metrosexual kettle.  Come on, you live on the West Coast, no?

It's a common misconception that a performance that is light and delicate is necessarily girly.

Sometimes, light and delicate (aim too) is just is sign of experience, not gender.

Ya know, I got rolling there, and it was fun, but the gender stereotyping was shameful, and for that I apologize to all and sundry.

Your humor was good, quick and funny.  Certainly not shameful.  We can handle it. No need to apologize.

CAGurl,

As B/java says the skin is thick-ish round here. No apologies needed.

BTW,

I remember guessing correctly at the Yemenathon.

Was a similar Buono the prize?

[BoldJava]

You left without it.  It be gone, mate.  I traded it to Wild Bill for a ceramic coffee cup he turned and Denise decorated.  Here was the big monster:
