When it happened, it shot straight up ... I was 2 feet away ...
OTOH, If I had been right over the pan ... that would have been

Aluminum; 12 x 18 x 3; Halco A12183 made in Korea; weighs 52 oz.

The new one is a Browne-Halco A12183 made in Pakistan, weighd
50 oz. ... and not quite as good looking as the original one.
