I saw that Todd English was having a demo on a network that sells cooking
stuff - a 2 hour runinng time, so I tuned in for about 10 minutes and was
smitten. They were having a great ole time demonstrating this cookware.

It looks fabulous, but I googled some reviews of persons who had bought it
and it doesn't look like it really works for a lot of people; although some
say it's great. Based on the reviews, I would have to pass.

No word of "induction" mentioned that I could find.

Up to 850º !!!!

"Made of aluminum 3003." Not induction suitable. 8;(

>Up to 850º !!!!

Anything sold VIA an infomercial is very questionable. If it was
really good technology or product, a name-brand manufacturer would
have marketed it long ago. Most of this "technology" has already
been considered by the real manufacturers and discarded.

I still don't understand why Crazy Glue sells so well.

That's the "Crazy" part.

I have seen Wolfgang Puck's SS cookware on one of the home slopping - er
- shopping channels, and I know it is available at retail. But it is
nothing outstanding. Copper heat plate on the bottom, wrapped in SS,
and the SS is the ferris 18/10, very commonly used, induction friendly,
but nothing to get excited about (which is prolly why they need to use
home shopping to dump it).

As to the GreenPan, I'd be interested to know if it is available
anywhere at retail? A quick google search didn't show any brick and
mortars, but I will admit I didn't scroll down at all. Only saw HSN,
Amazon and Overstock.com at a quick glance.

Normally I agree with this. But I have to say that our Showtime Rotisserie
is all it's advertised to be. And I bought it through an infomercual.

There's a chain of brick and mortar "As Seen on TV" stores across
the country. I forget where In which state I've seen them, but
here's a partial list:

Walgreens also sells a lot of the "As Seen on TV" stuff.

That's actually the only exception that I could think of when I
posted that. I don't own one, but I've heard favorable reviews of
them.

I liked the Ronco dehydrator, too. I tried a couple of the
fan-assisted ones and was happier with the Ronco in the same price
range (under $50).

I am familiar with that chain. We have one here in StL at the St. Louis
Mills Mall. And while it IS a retail outlet, this is one that does not
give its products any credibility since all it carries is infomercial
merchandise, and sometimes it is a infomercial discount liquidator.

So, beyond that chain, are there any "legitimate" brick and mortar
outlets?
