As described it sounds like a nuisance to use but I suppose one gets used to anything. <br /><br />Potager to me also implies soup kettle, which sounds a bit like one of the warming arrangements on an Aga brand English stove, where one heats the entire behemoth appliance and uses different-sized burners, ovens, and kettle inserts to control heat and manipulate food. Not living in a damp country house I've never used an Aga but apparently there's quite a learning curve involved. I have also seen in some old American stoves (1940s or so) a similar kettle insert on the stove top, for stewing and/or deep frying.<br /><br />SusanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
