The lack of food resources during the cold seasons was everyone’s primary motivation to start preserving jams.<br /><br />The Maslin pan, often called a jam pan, has a long history and it didn’t always look like it does today. Its predecessor, the posnet, lacked the shine, design and comfortable-to-use handles that Maslin pans have today.But even so, they were extremely useful especially in families with many members.<br /><br />These pans were first used in Europe, but there is no historical evidence with regards to the first time this type of cookware was seen. They were very popular in the 16th and 17th century, when they had smaller sizes and they were used for the same purpose: jam and jelly making.<br /><br />In the past, these pans were made of copper, a material that was generally available at the time and one that proved to be extremely durable. However, such cookware was way heavier than today’s Maslin pans.sweet blondie blue eyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10415902997410295811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341483723976821096.post-46739823816743063032017-08-15T09:41:53.948+01:002017-08-15T09:41:53.948+01:00Two very good bargains!

I have no idea why Maslin is part of the name, but apparently it is an old word for wheat.Elizabethdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02405703727112759947noreply@blogger.com
