My Demeyere saute pan and skillet are my all-time favorite pans. The 5
qt saute pan had been used in a cooking demonstration so I got it for
half off. I got the skillet thru Amazon for an excellent price as well.
And I did a lot of looking to find those prices. A little bit of effort
pays off. I was surprised how much my efforts in the kitchen improved
with higher quality cookware. It does indeed make a significant
difference. Saves times too..... and I place a value on my time.
