Sorry for the late response Mrs Daddy, but all I can say is that don't worry too much about it. For all you know, your hubby's daughter might be secretly glad that you've done it, so she can now get a new one? After all, she's used the cooker for 8 years now
With regard to the pan, you can easily get a set of pans for next to nothing in price now, especially if you keep an eye on bargains
