All you need is a handy magnet...if the magnet attaches itself to the base of your saucepan then its fine to use.
We discovered that most of our really old big family casserole saucepans were ok!!
As for technology, although approaching 80, I give it a go despite some trepidation to start with. I usually get to grips with it in the end. I have recently been coming to terms with the Mac operating system, having always used Windows in the past (which I hated). I was so chuffed yesterday when I managed to upload and export photos. I get there in the end despite swearing and frustration.

Next time I need a cooker I'm just going to get two sticks to rub together and a pile of combustible material and if the pans don't work ... tough.
If Im doing something like a large gammon and I know the water is going to spit out, I put a tea towel under the pan whilst cooking so absolutely no mess to clear up

Re: Modern Gismos
I love my home phone as it speaks to me, saying who the caller is! But I still forget how to switch on the loud speaker, so fortunately I recently found the little plastic plate that clips onto the mic headset, for a comfort fit on the head. Without it, a little plastic notch digs in. Why the plate can’t be permanently fixed is beyond me.|
