Antique vs new It is made in a non-stick according to a rep I spoke with at work. Glad you didn't go that route. From: http://www.calphalon.com/calphalon/consumer/products/productGroup.jhtml?catId=CLCat100295 Model Detail Suggested Retail...

Carbon Steel? No thanks!

Handy reference I like their site for that very reason. Enjoy the cookware, Stacy

"lifetime warranty" PLEASE NOTE: I not authorized to speak in behalf of any company/retailer mentioned and this post should in no way be considered anything other than my personal opinion. Calphalon's Lifetime Warranty and Usage guides leaves a lot of wiggle room and it's totally WRONG for...

How to care for CI cookware From Lodge Manufacturing's website: "If for some reason your utensil develops a metallic smell or taste, or perhaps rust spots (maybe a well-meaning relative washed your utensil in the dishwasher or with soap thinking they were being helpful), never fear. Simply...

Vote for Heather C. Here's the link: Sisterhood of Contadina Recipe Contest Good luck, Stacy

posting links Heather, I will attempt to figure out where to place my vote right after I post this note. FYI: You will "earn" the ability to post links once you have posted enough. I think it's somewhere around 20 posts. My blog is simple - my user name with the dot com -...

Contest Strategy Positive feedback is great motivation to continue working at things we find difficult. People always talk about people that are self motivated. I think that many of us can get over the difficult part of just getting started, but without ways to measure progress it's near...

Battle Citrus If I decide to start playing around with coffee I will keep you in the loop. I have some notations I made a while ago in my idea book about ways to bring out the vanilla and "grassy" notes in a seasonal roast from a local distributor. It's only available in the spring. Those...

there's more to it than just type of metal I have enough issues with carpal tunnel without trying crepes in cast iron! I work at Williams-Sonoma part time, so I better know a little about the properties of different materials. Often it's not just about the pot, but the combination of many...

Thanks Sattie. I'm having fun here already. Stacy

corn bread Good luck! I do "mock" corn bread. My son is allergic to corn. I sub almond meal for the corn and GF flour mix for the AP flour. I can eat corn but like the low carb nature of the almond meal. I decided to pass on that contest, but from I what I've read. it's a very popular...

Life's Journey As I get older I continue to find wisdom in the saying that life is about the journey and the discoveries we make along the way. The journey is often more memorable and rewarding then the destination. For instance, you found great pleasure in seeing other enjoying the recipe...

Welcome James Hi James, Welcome to DC. I'm sure you will find the people here to be very friendly and helpful. There is a whole forum for cooking contests - see you there!! Stacy

I didn't see this one listed, so I thought I'd add something to the group. I have a new video camera, but I'm not sure I'm up for video contests. Has anyone entered video contests before? Here are the rules: http://social.macys.com/keepitcooking/podcastterms.html and the home page with all...

Welcome and Interests Cara, Oh my - did I/we hijack the welcome area - so sorry! Food Photography is a big issue for cooking contests, blogs, even self published cookbooks and this forum may be a good place to announce my interests, but I didn't mean to get things off track! Stacy NY,NY

Keep us posted .... I'm sure you'll enjoy the book. Please let us know your thoughts after you've had a chance to digest the information. I'm sure I'm not alone in my excitement over your journey to further your knowledge of the culinary arts. Wishing you tasty adventures, Stacy NY,NY

life's highway LOL - My life's journey certainly can't be measured by a straight line. I'm a lot of things but boring isn't one of them!! I think a flat landscape would be a the death of me even if I complain when I'm walking up the hill to my home from the East River. I can't eat out much...

Life is what you make it! That's so funny - I have serious thoughts of Fl when we have winters like this one! Having driven route 4 in Fl many times, I don't think I'd enjoy living there! I do love visiting and can't wait for my best friend to buy his house in St Augustine, then I'll have a...

TY very much - I'm having a blast!! Stacy

contests My first contest was a mixed drink contest. I didn't win, but it was fun to enter. It was a video contest and since I just got a digital video camera this was the first thing I tried with it. I found the software confusing, but hope to get a handle on it so I can add video how to's...

How things change Quicksilver, When people ask where I grew up, I tell them with lots of teasing in my voice, "I'm an escapee from NJ". I live on the Upper East Side on a lovely tree lined street near Central Park. I love it, but when I visit my mom or my sisters in NJ, I do so love having...

Jersey City I grew up in JC - Bidwell Ave and went to school in Bayonne till we moved when I was 8, but I still have family in JC and Bayonne. Stacy

headless pictures Les, I'll take that to mean when you take the pictures, your subjects are all headless in the final product! My first thought was closer to Sweeny Todd! Stacy

Cookbook Collection Considerations Point well made! I guess it also depends what other books are in your collection. I have a few text books from school that are more in the style of Master the Art, and they were dry the first time I HAD to study from them! These days I'm strictly a home...
