Has anyone tried Fissler cookware?
Comments (6)Oh, wow! I have not been here for many months and I am very surprised to find my old thread still alive! I actually talked to Eurostoves in summer of 2010 when doing my cookware research. They did like Fissler. However (if I remember correctly) the pans have a sandwiched bottom, not clad all around. Sandwiched-bottom cookware is supposed to be much cheaper than clad but Fissler is almost as expensive as All-Clad and not sold where I live (which makes it harder to return if necessary). So, taking everything (including price) into consideration, I got All Clad saucepans, a Demeyere frypan, and Lagostina saute pan and pots. Thank you everyone who responded!...See MoreHas anyone really seen Corning Ware or VISIONS cookware explode?
Comments (40)Inherited a set of Visions pots, the purple ones, from a neighbor who moved to a retirement home. Was sooo happy, they looked gorgeous. She used the smallest pot for 15 years, still perfect looking except for a slight fog at bottom, the other two larger pots untouched. Though she had no incident with respect to using the smallest pot for 15 long years, all the information about Visions exploding makes me nervous. When you have pets or kids, you think twice about things... If I start using these beauties, I will have that image in my mind and be on constant red alert and edgy, not the most comfortable way to cook... I will probably end up tossing them... :(...See MoreWhich Induction Cookware do you LOVE?
Comments (10)I also have the Thermador cooktop (in black/stainless). There was a promotion last year that gave away a Demeyere 7 piece set w/ any 36" induction purchase. Customer service emailed me the rebate form. Soon after that they started printing an expiration date of September 1st on the forms. I went ahead and sent in my form (that didn't have the expiration date on it) in Feb of this year and to my surprise, I got the cookware set 2 months later. If anyone knows how to post a .pdf file, I can post it here for you. It doesn't hurt to try, if it means a new cookware set....See MoreStainless Steel Cookware FEARS!! Need your advice!
Comments (24)You don't need Le Creuset for frittatas - get a frittata pan - an oven-safe 2-3-inch tall straight-sided pan with a cover. IMHO, the Le Creusets are best for slow-cooking stews and braises. If you are mainly a stove-top cook, SS-clad (not all-SS) pans (and the couple of nonsticks for eggs) are all you need. Here's a rundown of common types of cookware. As you see, SS is actually NOT a good heat conductor - that's why the expensive stuff is CLAD in SS but contains bottom and/or side layers of aluminum or copper: Aluminum Advantages excellent heat conductor relatively light in weight Disadvantages porous and relatively soft dents and scratches easily difficult to clean stains easily reacts to food oxidizes to a dull gray color warps easily requires a "nonstick" coating ---------------------- Stainless Steel Advantages extremely durable non porous, extremely hard smooth surface, easy to clean dent and scratch resistant does not react to foods easy to maintain mirror finish Disadvantages poor heat conductor ---------------------- Cast Iron Advantages relatively low cost holds heat longer Disadvantages extremely heavy rusts easily reacts to food ---------------------- Copper Advantages excellent heat conductor Disadvantages relatively high cost reacts to food (toxic with some foods) oxidizes, very difficult to maintain finish dents and scratches easily must be lined with tin, nickel, or stainless steel ---------------------- Enameled Steel Advantages colorful, fashionable Disadvantages very poor heat conductor chips easily rusts easily when chipped ---------------------- Carbon Steel Advantages low cost Disadvantages very poor heat conductor rusts easily ---------------------- Glass Advantages can be decorated or plain Disadvantages extremely poor heat conductor heat resistant if tempered...See Morebabs-1952
