Pinzon Stainless Steel Cookware (Amazon) - Opinions?
Comments (2)They are just amazing for that price. I was very impressed. Not only are they gorgeous looking cookware, they are made very well. They look like a $150+ set, and nicer than the Cuisinart Chef's Classic. They are a good weight and feel solid. They are sold out now, as they were down as low as $49.99 which is what I paid. The 3.5 qt. pan is great too. That was down to $8.63 at one time. My only criticism is that the covers, although built well, are a bit light and might dent easily. They need to add a 12" all purpose pan with domed lid to the line....See MoreFarberware Stainless Cookware
Comments (12)Kframe : First I have to ask does your handle relate to a K Frame 357. I always wondered??? Here is a thread from a Post, last week, It moved to number 2 Take a look . It is a different Brand. I think the Farbre Ware is a good deal. It will wind up costing you $49.99. I wouldn't have asked anyones opinion, on a deal like that. Even if I only used them to make noise on New Years Eve. LOU Pinzon SS Cookware on Amazon - Opinions? clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by hawk307 (My Page) on Wed, Sep 26, 07 at 15:11 Hi Robin: I've had and used both since the late 50's. Not that brand but from a restaurant supply. The large pot is a 12 Quart Farbre Ware, Alluminum Clad bottom. I think it was $75 at that time. Well worth it, because I make a large batch of Spaghetti Sauce and Soup so I can freeze in portions. It sounds like a good deal on Amazon. I don't know what ply or weight they are but you can't go wrong with SS. If something sticks , just soak it and it will clean easily. I'd say go for it !!!!! LOU Said all that !!!...See MoreCookware advice please! Old nonstick is tainting my potatoes!
Comments (29)Here is how I have bought and buy cookware. Started out life after college with a gifted set of Farberware. My mother had used hers for going on 30 years (and still does) and thought I would like the same thing. They worked, but they were never my favorite. It was a set with a few pots and a two non-stick skillets. The non-sticks in that set were worthless, no idea if they are the same now. I ended up with two of the Calphalon anodized non-sticks and was happy with them. I had an electric coil stove for those years, and they worked fine on there- the pans weren't responsive, but neither was the cooking apparatus! I had always wanted "pretty" cookware, but delayed replacement because the ranges I was using really didn't merit a $200 sauce pan. I bought a few items here and there- a larger stainless steel stockpot from Costco (12 qts) and a few Le Creuset french ovens (2.5 quart, 5 qt rounds, small braiser) and a Lodge color dutch oven for baking breads in the oven. The Lodge is the most beat up, but I use it and am not careful with it. Have a cast iron skillet, but have never really gotten into it- I hate the Lodge factory coating and haven't been able to really feel like it's a functional piece of cookware. Along comes a new house, and a desire to finally get a range that is a pleasure to use instead of one that I was constantly fighting. I ended up with an Electrolux induction range, and had to replace the Farberware (yes, I checked with a magnet). I bought some All-Clad saucepans (1.5 qt, 4 qt), All-Clad French skillets (9 in maybe?), and a Scanpan CTX small non-stick. Two Ikea pans as well - a wok-like 365 frying pan and a very small non-stick-- I just bought them because they were cheap, and fulfill a need that I haven't yet filled with better stuff. I love the new cookware on the stove. The All-Clad is more difficult to clean and pretty much requires Barkeepers Friend after everything. Blanching green beans leaves a green scum that just doesn't come off! That was a long story. Basically, if you are looking to replace, and are a serious cook, buy individual pieces to suit your needs and allow yourself to collect them over a period of time. Next on my list is a saucier (3qt?). Get what you really want, and what you need at the time....See MoreHelp with Non-stick cookware for induction
Comments (21)brickeyee Not to discredit you or anything but maybe you should read the attached link before you make such a blanket statement (and yes, I have Teflon coated non stick pans that I use) or this site http://www.torayfluorofibers.com/TEFLONADVANTAGE/ProductSafetyInfo/tabid/60/Default.aspx where, and I quote, Do not use TFA materials in medical applications involving permanent implantation in the human body or permanent contact with internal body fluids or tissues. Do not use TFA materials in medical applications involving brief or temporary implantation in the human body or contact with internal body fluids or tissues, unless the material has been provided directly from TFA under a contract which expressly acknowledges the contemplated use. TFA makes no representation, promise, express warranty or implied warranty concerning the suitability of these materials for use in implantation in the human body or in contact with internal body fluids or tissues. The content of TFA material is not certified for implants. TFA materials are not designed or manufactured for use in implantation in the human body or in contact with internal body fluids or tissues. TFA has not performed clinical testing of these materials for implantation. TFA will not provide to customers making implantable devices any notice concerning its materials, as specified under 21 C.F.R. section 820.81, or any other information necessary for medical device use of the materials under any other statute or FDA regulation.

Do not make reference to the TFA name or any TFA trademark in association with an implantable medical device. Do not use a TFA trademark as the descriptive name of an implantable medical device (e.g., do not call it the "TEFLON® prosthesis"). All implantable medical devices carry a risk of failure and adverse consequences. Regarding implantation of materials, you should rely upon the medical judgment of the physician, the medical device seller, and the FDA. Do not rely upon TFA. Examples of both harmful consequences and lifesaving benefits from the implantation of various materials can be found in published medical articles. Without performing clinical medical studies of an implantable medical device, TFA cannot weigh the benefits against the risks of that device and cannot offer a medical judgment on the safety or efficacy of the use of our material in that device. color="red"> Regardless, once teflon coatings begin to peel, the chemical is breaking down and many authorities more versed in toxicity than I are recommending to toss that pan asap.
