Anyone else have an 'egg pan'?

It does mcem but Taylors Yorkshire tea for hard water makes a good cup for those of us with hard water.

I have an egg pan and, in true Mrs Bucket fashion, store it upside -down so that anyone peeping into the pan cupboard doesn't see how 'scuzzy' it is!

My Mum had one, so when I got married I bought a little pan from Woolworths and used it just for egg boiling for 35 years until I got an induction hob. I now have an induction friendly pan but still keep my original one in the cupboard because I can't bear to get rid of it . Strange how one becomes attached to inanimate objects

Mum used to have a "milk pan" which was so called because it was the smallest I assume, but the term was as fixed as "frying pan" is. Maybe it is generational? When you think of it, how many "saucepans" do we need for all the use they get making sauce ?

I do miss Woolies btw

I remember hearing on Gardeners Question Time I think, that the water from boiling eggs, once cooled was good for house plants.
Not true if it is correct or not but I do have lovely houseplants !!!???

Love it ogm!

Yes they don't make them anymore.Revere ware pots and pans are stainless steel with copper bottoms. They aren't made anymore but people sell them on EBay. My mom used them as I was growing up and I have some.They are great everyday saucepans.They last forever.

My mother always had a separate old pan for egg boiling, it seemed to have some sort of build up similar to limescale although we lived in soft water area. Maybe something to do with pans then being made of aluminium.

Yes, I also have an egg pan kept only for the three times a year that we have boiled eggs. Have never thought about why I do this........
