Yes! Does anybody have experiences they can broadcast? There's also Magnalite, which seems to be very close to Calphalon in price and construction. On the cooking shows you see on Public TV, the chefs seem to use something that looks a lot like Calphalon. Cooking teachers and experienced cooking students tend to lean toward Magnalite and Calphalon, not so much Cuisinart, when they recommend something to us. Consumer Reports liked Cuisinart a lot (back in '80 though, I believe). Also, cooking professionals insist that you absolutely MUST have at least a few critical 100% copper items: saute pan and large whipping bowl are often cited as the most important. Any comments? My wife and I are struggling to discern the truth from the emotion here; there's certainly lots of each! -- -Mike Klein ...!ucbvax!ucbmerlin:klein (UUCP) klein%ucbmerlin@berkeley (ARPA)
