- Warning to Visions owners: watch those handles!
-
- Others have mentioned shattering due to dropping or thermal stress or
- whatever. In our case, a handle broke cleanly off a saucepan, right
- where it joined the body. There was no stress except that of lifting
- the pot. Fortunately it didn't land, or splash, on anybody.

-
- Re tendency to burn foods: to avoid this, get copper or aluminum-disk
- bottoms, or cast iron. Pans like Visions, and plain stainless steel,
- tend to have uneven heat distribution and the hot spots easily turn
- into burnt spots.
