A little late, but I finally used it! I've been thinking for days about making a risotto in my new saucier and finally got to it tonight. I made a wild mushroom risotto - my first time ever? - and omg it was SO good! I can't wait to make some other versions. I did a little reading over on...

Well, the 5.5 qt arrived today... from cookware and more. I did find two very tiny scratches, so small that no one but me would see it. It is beautiful, and I can't wait to cook something! I'm working (at home) now so it will have to wait until tomorrow. 2.5 qt is on back order (which isn't...

I find... Absolutely no difference cooking with the two brands - I probably have an equal number of pots/pans from both lines. And believe me, I researched, debated with myself, went to the stores lifting, turning ,etc, looking at every nook and cranny. I think the difference in the thickness...

Well Hi from nearbye too! All good ideas - tks. I actually used to have a home-based, specialty cake decorating business yrs ago and sold most of my stuff on ebay. Somehow it just seems more complicated now (but probably it's just because I'm older and busier, lol). I really should sell it...

I think I can luckily say that I've used everything I've bought over the years - at least once. I hate that I have a few that have become one-time-only purchases. The worst, as in most expensive, would have to be my 15.5 qt LC Goose pot. I've used it once in three years I think - for baked...

Well I did it! Now I have to find some great recipes for each - to rationalize the purchase course, lol. (See honey, this never would have tasted so great without this pan!) I guess the one good thing about all this is that I realized I've really filled in all the gaps in my cookware - now I...

You guys are too cool! OMG it's like I've found my little nirvana of guilty pleasures - and everyone understands! Thanks for your thoughts - this is one of those things that it's just not too hard to let y'all sway me in the right direction.:wink: I'm going to do it now before I change my...

Hi all, I'm stuck trying to decide between these two sizes. I already have a range of sauce pans from 1 qt to 4.5 qt, as well as a 3 qt Calphalon Tri Ply "chef pan" which is awfully similar to a saucier. Then I have an 8 qt. copper core stock pot (which was a great Marshall's find). (I do...

Hi! I just joined today, but have been reading for forums for a couple of months now. I found it doing a search for reviews and comments about all-clad and some other SS cookware. Once I started reading, I haven't been able to stop - keep coming back!
