Ok, cool, that is good to know. I've heard good things about Calphalon and Cuisinart and they're...1/3 the price of all-clad.
Do you have a HomeGoods or a TJMaxx type of store near you? You can sometimes get really good deals on high end cookware there.
What utensils do you normally use in your SS pans? I just got my first SS saucepan.
I find that the non-stick stuff seems to last a few years, so I have stopped bothering to spend any money on it. I just buy whatever from tjmaxx and then ditch them every few years. I find that I need a small sautee and a large sautee. All my other pots are stainless steel.
I just scored an awesome mint condition vintage (1960s) Descoware enameled cast iron skillet. I feel like the spirit of Julia Child is watching over me.
If you shop at Costco, check out the Kirkland brand and Tramontina SS sets. A lot less pricey and they look good. A friend has the Kirkland and loves it, don't know anyone with Tramontina SS. I have Tramontina non-stick skillets and they're fine. I replace these often though.
How do you make pancakes in a pan that's not nonstick?? Is that a dumb question?
Most just use more oil/butter and basically fry it.
yep... butter or oil between each batch of pancakes... plus a hot pan and you will get a good crust on it so it doesn't stick
Calphalon and or Anolon. Usually get either in BB&B as sets or TJmaxx, HG.I keep the omelet size for eggs only. If it starts to get scratches I change it to an all purpose and get a new egg pan.Also cast iron for meats that I want to then finish in oven.I also have a gorgeous carbon steel pan that was gifted to me by nephew handmade in Charlotttesville, VA. He works therehttps://blanccreatives.com/store Mine is the 11 inch skilletIt's a little large for my stove but it's wonderful as well.
