I bought a 10piece set of the shinny stainless and thought of Ctystal and Tim as I unpacked and put the set away😄😃😀 Tim wrote: The original Masterchef was the best. There were are still better options than shiny AC. ivy wrote: Tim - do fill us in! BREAKING NEWS! My daughter in law asked me for recommendations on cookware and I had some time in Chicago and went shopping. I found good options at a range of price points. I will use 4 Qt. saucepans to identify price points.
• Fully Clad 3-ply construction, induction compatible from rim-to-rim – 3mm thick. (That's thicker than All-Clad.) • The saucepans nest and have consistant depth-to-diameter proportions. • Nice thick handles Note: The 3 and 4 quart saucepans have no helper handles. • Nice non-drip pouring edge on all pans. • Interior volume marks on saucepans. • All pans are oven safe up to 500˚F (Tempered Glass lid oven safe up to 400˚F) • Yes, it's all dishwasher safe Here's a look: There are other options at various price points. These include:
LeCreuset Stainless at $165 or $200 Mauviel M Cook (3.6 qt. without lid) at $195 All-Clad D5 at $265 Williams Sonoma ThermoClad At $265 Let the debate begin... tim |

Le Creuset 4 Qt Stainless Tri-Ply at $165 This is their old cookware with all the nice attributes. It is available from Bed Bath and Beyond online. It also looks good. Le Creuset 4 Qt. Stainless Tri-Ply at $200 This is the new design that is now available in LeCreuset outlet stores. |

I can't help wondering when I look at that LeCreuset super-shiny finish just how well it will hold up over time. Seems like it wouldn't take long to really scratch it up. I'd love to hear some real-life experiences. |

Linda, When I saw the new LeCreuset line, I thought it just looked too flashy...in a word, ugly. I haven't seen it in person of measured the pans. I have owned some super-shiny Gourmet Standard for 15 years with no finish problems. Tim |
