It looks like a star-shaped driver, unusual type you aren't likely to have at home.

See, the plan is you tighten this weird screw exactly once, then lose the driver. It's designed to stay tight 18 months. That's about when you've beaten up the surface and overheated it until it's no longer stickproof. Then the handle gets loose and you get fed up and go buy another pan.

I actually like this plan when Home Goods has decent replacements like Calphalon for $25. Except Calphalons don't fall apart and they already come assembled. You can burn 'em out tho.

When I was in elementary school my class was taken to a play. I only have vague memories of it but there was a song that stuck with me to this day. I am 44 years old now and I have sorted my clothes by the lyrics of this song for the past 25-30 years. This is an excerpt of the song and the only words I can remember.

“Red, yellow, blue, and green are the colors to be seen. Around the rainbow we will go. The rainbow’s colors we will know.”

From left to right I put whites, then grays, then the song, then blacks.

Anyone else ever heard of that song or know where it’s from?
