Thanks to all who answered my questions about kombu, non-reactive pans,
rue, calcium, and goodness knows what else. Guess I'd better go shopping
for a new large, ovenproof casserole with a lid....the only one I've got,
since I broke my giant Corningware one, is aluminum. It was a wedding
present. Time to retire it! :-) Meanwhile, I'll start sticking kombu in
my beans and my rice, and whatever else I can think up. Thanks again!
