Since writing this post I've cooked bacon with no problems although now I'm a fan of Jimmy Deans pre-cooked bacon that just needs microwaving. The ajax didn't hurt the pan at all but I still use BKF when it needs it.

Yes that is true, the "buy 4 pots, get an additional 20% off" is the normal monthly sale but 2 or 3 times a year they have the 20% off any item sale. I get an advertisement in the mail when they have it. Too bad you missed it last time.

Over the last couple of years I've bought pieces from Cookware & More during monthly sale specials for 20% off any item. The last one was in October 06, I bought a 10" fry pan then. The sales always start at the beginning of the month and last one month. As best as I can guess the 20% off any...

you know I actually have an answer about the term french oven but I've decided to keep it to myself since no one here seem's to give a **** what I say anyway. hahahah !!!

As far as I know anodized aluminum in non reactive. Cleaning SS can be a bit of a pain if your anal retentively clean like me ;) When you cook with SS it will leave little imprints on the cooking surface. Like when boiling water you may see some discoloring and little round bubble marks. Salt...

I've bought several irregular pieces from Cookware & More too and am very happy with them. I did buy a couple of 1 qt. saucepan's without lid's last year from CutleryAnd More that are made in China, they we're on sale for $20.00 a piece and seem just as good as the AC made in America. When I...

From The AC website: All-Clad NonStick Cookware features not just a coating but a revolutionary, reinforced system for professional grade nonstick cooking. Beneath the nonstick cooking surface is All-Clad’s unique triple-ply construction for maximum heat conductivity: a layer of 18/10...

The instructions do say NOT to use above medium heat. If I was your sister I'd say you bought the pan. hahaha

I have the 7 qt' Flame round french oven from Caplanduvall and love it. Everytime I use it I wish I had always had it. I recently bought a Red 2 qt. french oven from CutleryAndMore and it's perty too. I have a few baking dishes in Red and a little 8 oz. petite casserole in Red. I'd really liked...

I just find it strange that Emerilware rated so high when it is not AC's top of the line, I dont work for All-Clad. And I trust Cook's Illustrated comparison over Consumer Reports.

I personally dont think much of that Consumer Reports Comparison. Emerilware is made by All-Clad, it's cheaper in price yet they didn't even include the AC in the comparison. Cook's Illustrated rated AC's SS and nonstick #1. Maybe Consumer Reports considered AC's price was too high and left it...

All-Clad nonstick is lifetime warranty and from what I've read isn't made the same as other nonstick. I have two and like them alot. I think most people dont read the directions that say nonstick should not be used above medium heat. I try to use SS mostly but the nonstick is cool to me anyway.

Congratulation's :) I have several pieces of AC most of it are irregulars that I've bought over the net. I've been to the Tramontina site looking at maybe buying an 8 qt. stock pot mainly for spaghetti. But I really dont need it I have a cheap SS I've had for years that works ok. From everything...

thanks for that great response. Tells me zero.

How is it that All-Clad nonstick was not even mentioned and the uncoated was ranked low? Cook's Illustrated test's ranked both they're favorite pans.
