Muurikka

In the 70s, Mikko Kahelin got a little extra hungry for pancakes. He asked his friend Reijo Sistonen, who worked for a company that made cisterns for petrol stations and factories, to split his old pot to make cooking easier. However, Sistonen didn't want to ruin Kahelin's fine old pot, so instead he made a frying pan from scraps of hot-rolled steel left over from the cistern-making process. Initially, the frying pans were only used within the families of the people concerned. However, during a traditional sauna session with a person responsible for purchasing for petrol stations in Finland, there were discussions about selling it commercially. Once this was said and done, an order for a couple of thousand frying pans was written on a napkin, but the next day, when the headache had subsided somewhat, the order was cancelled. It ended up somewhere in between, and Muurikka's commercial train had thus left the platform.
