My Wife And I Can't Agree, Help.

One of us is absolutely convinced standard saucepans have corners, the bottom inside edge easily missed when mashing potatoes.
The other is equally certain that is not a corner.

What say you?

[MissTerious2]

No corners, just bends

[perseverer]

The first two definitions of a corner from Chambers:
The point where two lines or several planes meet
An angular projection or recess

Couldn't possibly give an opinion, might get hit by a flying saucepan.

[ducksie]

it's the masher, not the saucepan - get a ricer :-) much better

[Redhelen72]

I agree with both pov!

[rowanwitch]

On a saucepan the two planes meet at an almost infinite number of points....nearly Infinite corners, of course she is right.... Why did you even ask?

[Atheist]

I like mashed potatoes to be a bit lumpy, like my women.

[Prudie]

Standard saucepans do not have corners. A corner is a point where two straight lines meet.

That's an angle :-)

[pixie374]

And a corner.... there are no corners on a circular pan. That person meant "edge".

[bednobs]

for mein 3d, it'd have to be 3 lines meeting. If i said "the corner of the room"i wold not be describing the bit where the wall meets the floor, but the point where 2 walls meet the floor

[Atheist]

Surely we know what Barry was on about? Never mind semantics about corners and angles. B or his missus like mash without lumps, and the other isn't bothered.

[Vagus]

I’d call it a corner, for want of a better way of describing it, even though I know it’s not strictly a corner.
And he’d agree..because he knows better than to argue ;)

[Prudie]

I think it's referred to as the corner of the room because it's where 2 walls meet, the floor bit is irrelevant - and ken yes the distance measured between the lines is an angle. The corner is the point where they meet. Whatever, agreed, very pedantic. Saucepans are curved where the base meets the sides.

[Hopkirk]

What's a standard saucepan?

[jno]

one cubit by 13 links, Hopkirk

[Barsel]

Square saucepans have corners, but I've never seen one.

[jno]

you haven't lived, Barsel

I've got three triangular saucepans

[pastafreak]

I see a square frying pan in that recomedation.

[barry1010]

I'm sticking to my guns, round saucepans have corners
