[pct-l] dip-it for cooking pot handles

[Deems]

I also removed the worm tubes off of my handles. I keep them apart while on 
the stove, which keeps them cooler; and use a bandana for the pickup. I 
found them rather useless during a spontaneous moment of 
ultra-enlightendness....The uncoated Evernews, are a preferred piece of a 
gear, as mentioned longedly by Monty.. and they still roam on ebay..

I removed the handles from mine.  I use a bandana instead.

I removed the lid.  A thin piece of foil seals much better.  Water boils
much faster.

My 1.3 Liter uncoated Evernew now weighs 2.7 ounces.
(Wish I had a .9 Liter uncoated.)

If you want my handles I'll send them to you, but only one has all the
rubber still on it.
