So, every now and then, some great deal comes up that everyone's talking about. Sometimes it's a line that Costco has for a great price or the Tramontina at Wal-Mart or...?
What's the current deal-du-jour on clad cookware? (induction ready)
I've been searching around on Amazon, Costco, Wal-Mart, etc and it all just seems like average fare these days. Any killer deals around?
In particular, I'm looking for a good set of sauce pans (or "pots" as we call them in my house ), a good size saute pan (>3 qt), and a couple of regular pans/skillets (sometimes referred to as frying pans or saute pans or omelette pans, depending on the person you speak with, it seems). I don't care if I buy a set, as long as it's a good buy and, most of all, good quality.
I think I'd also like a stock pot in the 12 qt'ish size so that I can start making my own stocks and soups...although I've read varying ideals on the necessity of clad v. encapsulated base in stockpots...something about continuous movement of liquid and it being good that it's a bit cooler near the top than the bottom so it generates movement of the entire liquid base due to basic thermodynamics or something along those lines that I don't really remember from grade 12 chemistry...
Thoughts, as always, are greatly appreciated!
Edit to say that I've been lusting after the Lagostina 5-ply Copper Cookware Set at Costco but haven't seen them go on sale so can't quite justify it.
