... looks sort of cheap to me.
i was just going to mention emerilware - i normally agree 100% about NOT buying "celebrity" products, but i have to say that the non-stick emerilware is pretty good stuff....we have a set and it is well constructed, thick, performs well, the coating is durable (so far), and its made/backed by All-Clad (do i get semi-bragging rights for that??)....it wasn't overpriced, and im confident that it performs as well as or better than the other "high-end" brands you see at the big box stores (ie calphalon)....we really did our research before selecting a set, considering all the major brands, and this one got very good reviews by consumers and rating agencies
I guess the point was/is that it is not really bad or good, but rather that you can get same or better quality for the same money if it is not sold under somebodie's name.
I read a cookware review in Consumer Reports. They tested Emeril's disk bottom stainless pans. They reported that the disk melted off a pan that was left on a burner empty for some length of time - I think it was ten minutes.
Granted, this is not a common occurrence in most homes but it may be a factor for some.

I've also wondered about "floating" the inner SS layer of All-Clad if abused in the same way? If you can melt the aluminum layer in the disc bottom - why not the aluminum layer in the middle of the tri-ply?
