Dan,

Hey, I would have loved it if my hubby would have bought me this set as a gift! But I enjoy any gift that makes homemaking better and easier!

thanks so much for the reply, maybe i will invest in the set as a “push-present” for my wife who is due in a couple of weeks, or is that an insensitive gift (kind of like a vacuum cleaner)?

Hi,

I also have a stainless Cuisinart set. They are fantastic! You can really scrub them to get them clean and they are a nice weight. Talk to any Chef and they will tell you stainless is the way to go!

I learned my lesson about cheap non-stick cookware some time ago. It didn’t even last a year. Since then, I will only use cast iron and high quality stainless steel. I have thought about those pots that are porcelin covered cast iron, but are they safe and do they last? I think I will have to investigate that one.

My daughter just got married last december and so we just went through the stainless steel pans purchase. I just wanted to share what she got because they were SO NICE! She bought some waterless cookware called Vapo Seal, stainless, very nice heavy weight!! Here is the link to it:
http://www.discoverwaterlesscooking.com/html/contact.html I think I talked to Andy. I just had a real honest conversation with him, and the prices ended up being less than the webpage. My daughter bought the entire set. she is really happy with it. My hubby bought me the 12 quart stock pot and it is WONDERFUL!! I hope at some point to purchase more of it. I was so pleased with the quality of service, the product and the sales guy, Andy.
for my skillets, I threw out the teflon ones and I just use some Lodge cast iron skillets that I try to keep seasoned up nice. Just some thoughts and my experience, ann from KY

Also, with regard to safety, if you read on boxes that non-stick pans come in, it says to keep birds away while using them. That may seem silly, but I guess the fumes from non-stick can kill birds. It did my Aunt’s parrot that she had for 10 years.

If it’s not good for birds, is it such a stretch that the fumes may not be good for humans??
