Time for new pots and pans

[ChefWide]

I have my faves, but they are from a long bias streak. Time to check out some new stuff: what are your favorites? I am going stainless, no copper please, no ceramic or enamel (a la Cruset[sp?)]

Lots of kitchen goodies buying next month

 

[George Spellwin]

I'm happy with my set of All Clad LTD. - aluminium exterior with a stainless steel core. I would get Alpes Inox if I could afford them

 

[Scotsman]

I like the hard anodized aluminum(Calphalon) for high temp stuff. Otherwise like George said, all-clad is the way to go. My bro has some of the Emeril ones and they rock.

Cheers,
Scotsman

I have been happy with Circulon 2 and classic. They work well and are easy to clean and non-stick. I had some Calphalon hard anodized, but stuff would stick and I like non-stick.

I just got a set of the All-Clad copper core... they're cool but I really doubt my cooking even approaches their target skill level.

All-Clad has been great for me. The heat is so even and if you have to transfer something from stove top to oven they stand up to it just fine.

Going to mix things up a bit... Cuisinart makes some phenominal pans, good heat ditribution and great handles, probably going Mauviel stainless lined copper for the sauce pans and for the casserole and braising pans: Le Crueset... there are some specialty pans from Dehileron in Paris, but I have to go there to get them, the shipping is nuts and the VAT on pans here is 24.5%.... no can do that crap...

Hello, Darling,

I am not certain, but I think the help asked me to buy a set of Alpes Inox. I like my Alpes cooktop, so I assumed the pans would be good enought to cook my pheasant in.

I am with you on the need for new stuff and was looking at the Caphalon 1 (spelling?). Anyone else use this brand?

 

[gingersnap]

I own Calphalon and Cuisinart but prefer the Cuisinart.

Emerilware - made by all clad without the price tag. LOVE the sautee pans!!

What do you do with pots and pans? Cook? Not my forte. I sure can eat, though.

 

[MAJNOON]

Pots and pans? what are those? I leave such things for the servants!
what peasants you are indeed!
