Add le/la poêle to list on nouns changing meaning with gender ?

I have recently come across le poêle (as one of the words for) - stove; la poêle - frying pan/skillet. Fairly common kitchen terms, so may be worth adding to the list?

Thank you for pointing this out Maarten but as you will appreciate, there is a limit to how many words we can add to a page.

Bonne Continuation!

Just been drawn back here by receipt of advice of another ‘like’ to the post. 

Still think there are less commonly encountered terms listed here -  la/le voile for example -  and le/la poêle are much easier to confuse than most because they come from the same ‘domain’. 

Raising again that these should be here.
