I despise hard anodized cookware. I remember about 5 years ago when you
accused me of wanting to swipe my brothers Calphalon... yeah, right Then
that year for Christmas I asked for a wok and he got me a hard-anodized
piece of crap stir-fry pan, which I used once and is still in the closet.

Last time I went over there, his Calphalon was in the spare bedroom and he'd
bought a new set of plain aluminium pots & pans from Target.

I love my old Revere Ware!
