Learn from the mistakes of others

Few places do laybye nowdays, kmart and the lower priced goods stores do, but perhaps high end speciality cooking product shops don't. I haven't seen that brand at Kmart. ;0

5 yrs ago I was renting and the house had a wizzbang stove with a glass hotplate thing with red dots, when they disappeared the hotplate was supposedly hot enough to cook on. I'm wondering how the pot (he endorses) knows exactly what you are cooking to arrive at the right temperature....

and I saw his cooking in Italy show, he was staying in a rustic old place for a bit with an ancient wood oven (he burnt some things too!) hehe even cooking masters make mistakes with poor tools.
