Well they live in South Bend.... my mom has always been a boiler of veggies. Last time I made the green beans by blanching them then doing a quick saute in butter garlic and lemon. My mom is complaining of GI upset (stress) so I went as plain as possible,

The only thing about schnitzel that is a pain is having to cook only one or two at a time, depending on the size of both your cutlets and your pan. Of course, I am cooking for 5, so batches are a must with a bodybuilder and a teenager in the house.
Great use for a pork loin or tenderloin on sale.

I like loin more, seems to have more flavor. I did it in 2 batches. If I had taken my own cast steel pan I might have pulled it off in one batch.
I try to leave leftovers...

I'm guessing that paella pan would have made short work of it.

that is a very good idea, and I had not thunk of it, but also true paella pans are so damn thin I have a hard time browning meat in them (although that is part of making paella)…. alas I cheat on paella sometimes in brown the meat/chicken in cast iron or cast steel...

Never had one to experiment with, but if it's a good conductor of heat all along the bottom, might be excellent for pan frying. Just an idea.

they conduct well, but they are very thin, maybe 1/16 or 1/8 of an inch thick. They scorch things quickly. Making paella is a 'don't turn your back' event.

Kind of like making a dark roux. You don't dare answer the phone while you stir it!
