I believe the term "eye" goes back to the stoves that you built a fire inside. They had holes (or eyes) on top that fit different sized skillets, thus the numbers on iron skillets that don't make sense to us. Those skillets would have rings on the bottom to keep them in place over that eye. A #8 skillet would fit into an 8" hole because that was the diameter of the ring, not the diameter of the pan (which is 10.25"). I hope that helps explain how the term "eye" came about on a stove.

For a person in your 80s you are amazing and seem so much younger ❤️.

You are amazing! You certainly shine for Jesus! God bless you!

Looks so good Ms Diane!! Another great casserole! Can’t wait to make this one!!

Zucchini sausage casserole. Yum

Love watching you! Your very knowledgeable! Thank you and GOD bless. Your wonderful!

Snow Creek Sausage is from Senaca SC. It must be a hometown favorite. Here in NC, we have Neese’s sausage. It’s based out of Greensboro NC. It’s sold in square packaging, never frozen, and delivered in small green squared trucks! Don’t know how far into SC it would come.

These videos are a blessing.

I made this morning and it was excellent! I also used your tip on adding a bit of water when cooking the sausage and love the ease and results.

This was so good! I added 2 green onions to the zucchini and a sprinkle of soul seasoning.

I love this casserole and I have a wealth of zucchini in my garden so I’m always keeping my eyes open for enjoyable ways to use it. I’m planning to order your cookbook as soon as it’s available again. Thank you for inviting everyone into your kitchen. Shining for Jesus here with you.

Looks delicious.and seems easy enough to make.seems like a nice lady.

I’m glad I found your channel. Always looking for zucchini recipes. Although this one was filmed a few months back here in Colorado we are just a few weeks away from having an abundance of zucchini from our backyard garden. You are kindred spirit.

I made this just as you showed and it was a big hit at my house! Thanks so much! ❤❤❤

That looks so good!

Great casserole !!

The eye is what I’ve always known the burners as too. That’s what my mama called them 😂

I'm going to have to try this. Thanks MeMe.

With the holidays coming up, would you like a recipe for Fruit cake? I typically hate Fruit Cake but this one is the best Ive ever had. I don't want to taste space so let me know if you'd like to try it.

The Italian in me wants to use ricotta instead of cottage cheese. Either way it looks delish!

Luv Y'all SweetFace'z 2 my 💖 Mrs. MeMe & K'K" 🥰👸🤗💝🥰👸🤗

I never heard of grits in my life until I visited family in Memphis.

This is a Must try for Me. Looks Delicious 😋👩‍🍳🥘🦩

❤

Another cooking channel I follow, calls the stove burner 'eyes' also. Cowboy Kent Rollins was a Chuck Wagon cook for 20+ years

Oh yeah. Florida doesn't get snow creek sausage as far as I know

How do I purchase your cookbook?

I like to order one of your cook books 😊

We've always referred to it an an 'eye on the stove

Here in Alabama it is called an eye.

Can you substitute the cottage cheese with ricotta cheese?

Snow creek is in Seneca

Where can I get the cookbook for Sunday lunch

I hope your cookbook will be back in stock soon.

Do I leave the peel on the zucchini when I grate it?

You are so sweet!

The term "eye" used to refer to a stove burner is likely derived from the resemblance of the burner's shape and appearance to an eye. Here are a few possible explanations for why a stove burner is called an "eye": 1. Visual Resemblance: The circular shape of a stove burner, with its central opening or flame, can resemble an eye when viewed from a certain angle. The burner's appearance, with the flame acting as the pupil, may have led to the association with an eye. 2. Symbolic Reference: Eyes are often considered a symbol of observation and attention.

My mother grew up in the deep south. She called the burner an eye and so did her mother.

I’m making this tonight, but I don’t think I’m going to cook zucchini first. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

I love your recipes, but how do you stay so neat without an apron? What’s your secret?

The control was always called the “eye” then if you referred to the actual top of the stove it was the burner.

Me either no hot😢

When will your cookbook be back in stock to purchase?

There are many cooks that call it an eye. It is the politically correct name for it. It wasn't until.the baby booming Era that ppl started calling it a burner. Thank you and Sally for the recipe. I will be trying It, for sure ❤

You put no seasoning in it whatsoever, no herbs, salt, spices or pepper! That must be so bland. Would have looked more appetising if you had waited for the cheese top to brown.
