re the pans... I already have some, but I also picked up a cheap
set of ?Farberware Classic II? (IIRC; it is at the other house)
pots and pans. I figure if they prove to be inadequate, I can

characteristics that I prefer to those of All-Clad and almost all
other current prestigious brands and wanna-be brands.
