Queries and responses:
Lan: I'm buying a saucepan. Can you tell me the difference between a normal saucepan and a shallow saucepan and whether one is preferable over the other, particularly for everyday use?
Lynh: I suppose it's all about splatter. I think a normal saucepan is good for everyday use. A cast-iron pan is best for searing meats because they get extremely hot but it's very painful to clean. Also, nonstick pans should not be put in the dishwasher.
Lan: I was just asking about the depth of saucepans.

Stephanie: I find regular saucepans more versatile, since you can use them to boil things as well.
Lan: I bought the shallow one because it was on deep sale. I am going to boil the shit out of some stuff just to show you.
Stephanie: It was probably on deep sale because it's less useful.

Chris: I guess it depends on what you cook. I would probably go for the deeper one due to versatility.
Lan: I bought the shallow one because it was on deep sale. FUCK YOU AND YOUR "VERSATILITY" AND YOUR CLICK.
[seconds later] I MEAN COUCH.
Chris: Deep sale. Don't come crying to me when your ass wants to cook two gallons of spaghetti sauce.

Adrienne: I think a normal saucepan is more versatile, especially if you enjoy cooking things with sauce.
Lan: I bought the shallow one because it was on deep sale. I'm going to cook all sorts of shit in it—including things with sauce—just to show your ass how versatile it is.
Adrienne: Do you have a first dish in mind?
Lan: No. I was imagining heating soups out of cans and making ramen, but I'm sure I'll cook other things.
Adrienne: Good luck blanching vegetables in that thing.
