Stir-fry is the way to go! No steak knives necessary.

Every facet separately, then. Sounds like the thing
wasn't worth the invention of it.

What's the thickness of the copper bottom? The really
olden ones had a fairly robust coating that it was
virtually impossible to ruin - I did see someone do it, 
though - left them in a puddle with other metal things; 
they acquired a green slough that meant the end of the 
copper. It's as though they did it deliberately, and I
thought it a crime against civilization and humanity.

Elephant stew
categories: celebrity, humor
Servings: 3000

1 medium-sized elephant 
Salt and pepper 
Brown gravy to cover 
2 rabbits (optional) 

Cut elephant into bite-size pieces. This should 
take about two months. Add gravy and cook about 
4 weeks at 465 degrees. 

This recipe will serve about 3,000 people. If 
more are expected, two rabbits may be added, 
but do this only if necessary, as most people 
do not like to find hare in their stew.
