Do you have a full set of pots and pans or do you use odds and ends that
suit you better? I have one 12" Teflon pan that gets abused so much that I replace it when it gets scratched too badly-once per year or so ($20 aint so bad), one large, 12" Revere saute pan, 2 small Farberware ones, and assorted pots from a variety of makers. Don't need a 'dedicated' set of cookware such as AllCLod, Wolfgang Puck, or <shudder> Emeril set, etc. (I probably should note that Farber, Revere, etc have outlet stores in my area-those sales in October-60%+-are too hard to pass up). |

At the same time I have a frying pan that I use for everything and isn't part of the set but can be easily and inexpensively replaced. I have a much larger pot that I have used for years for spaghetti sauce, vegetable soup, chili, that kind of thing and it gets used a lot too. Hmmm, I think I have two other pots that get used a lot. One small pot that was my Daddo's and that we use just for simple syrup to make sweet iced tea. And I have a large wok for stir frys and the like. Though I like my set, I am hardly restricted to it and I stick with the stuff I like for my particular dishes.

Why do you shudder at Emerilware? It's made by All Clad and it's terrific. Or was it just the name, Emeril? LOL. I use a combo of odds and ends and my Emerilware. The mix suits me fine and works well. N. |

Same here. I have a SS Cuisinart set that I bought from Costco that I like because the bottoms are very thick and fairly heavy, and all have glass lids. But, I have several other pieces that are my favorites. One 8" nonstick skillet for my morning eggs, a couple of 12" skillets one SS and one nonstick, a flat-bottom wok, some cast iron, a casserole or three - so, the short answer, I guess, is both! -- EZ Larry from St. Louis |

The part that probably makes me unpopular in these parts is, I actually find Emeril to be very entertaining, and I do learn a few things when I watch. I use my DVR to record his show on FLN every evening, and I can blast through the commercials and watch an hour show in about a half-hour. But, that's probably way more than anybody wanted to know! -- EZ Larry from St. Louis |

Why do you shudder at Emerilware? It's made by All Clad and it's terrific. Or was it just the name, Emeril? LOL. I use a combo of odds and ends and my Emerilware. The mix suits me fine and works well. N. -------------------------------------- My personal preference is All-Clad because it is made in the USA although lids are not. I've never purchased Emerilware (although I understand it is good quality)and won't because it's made in China. Currently I'm also boycotting Wal-Mart because of all the Chinese products they sell, but admittedly hard to find a company that doesn't sell products from China. FWIW, when I changed out my cookware I purchased the "try me" pans to decide what worked well for me and then proceeded to purchase what I wanted and used instead of purchasing a set. Nancy no criticism at all intended for your choice. Chris |

Odds and ends. All-Clad saucepans (1, 2, 4, and 8 quart, I believe), a 12" skillet and a dutch oven. ( All-Clad needn't be purchased in sets.) Nonstick-coated aluminum saute pans from the food service supply A couple of old Farberware "dutch ovens" that can't go in the oven due to their plastic handles, and a double boiler A large stainless stockpot with an aluminum disk on the bottom. Some no-name brand, but it works well. An assortment of cast iron frying pans for when the mood strikes me. A nonstick "chef's pan" that I mainly use as a saucier. I think it's a newer Farberware, but it's crap. It might be Revere. I'll be looking for a replacement soon. Cindy Hamilton |

My crock is a 4-gallon crock, and I always get too many cucumbers for a small batch, so I'm having to divide the brine between two large pots, neither one being big enough for the single batch. Before I make pickles again, I'm gettin' me a BIG stockpot. N. |

I have both. I have a set of stainless copper-clad Revere Ware I bought around 1978 for (IIRC) $20. It came with a "dutch oven" with lid, a 12 inch frying pan (the dutch oven lid fits it), a 3 quart covered saucepan, a 2 quart covered sauce pan and a steamer/strainer insert that fits both. It also came with a teeny (2 cup?) pot, maybe for making sauce or gravy; I don't know what happened to it. Oh, and also included was a set of three nested mixing bowls with heavy snap-on plastic lids. I love those mixing bowls!! Hell, I love the cookware. Don't understand why people decry stainless. If you know how to cook stuff doesn't stick to it. Cast iron (bought separately): Lodge skillets, 12 and 8 inch; a dutch oven with lid, a sectioned cornbread pan. Unidentified cast iron: a griddle that spans two burners (belonged to my grandmother) and a cornstick pan. I have various cheap teflon (or similar) coated non-stick skillets in varying sizes I picked up separately over the years. If they get scratched or just wear out they're cheap to replace. I also have a few Grannyware aka graniteware/speckleware/splatterware porcelainized sauce pans in varying sizes. Also cheap but very, very tough stuff. Cute, too ![]() http://tinyurl.com/5grbgr I was given a couple of All-Clad stainless sauce pans, 2 qt and 1 qt, as gifts but since they don't have lids. I don't use them much. Jill |

Each piece was carefully selected for the job it needs to do. There is NO set that can compete for that virtue. You need to do a little more study before you go buy a "set". http://www.taunton.com/finecooking/a...e-cooking.aspx |

I used to have lots of assorted pieces, but a year or so ago I treated myself to a set from Costco. Yes, it's the Kirkland line of stainless/ clad/whatever. For $200.00, it is a pretty nice set (13 pcs). I am happy with the design, also. It'll probably last long enough to pass down to someone, but I for one will recommend it- especially at that price! |

I have this and that. Four non-matching All-clad saucepans, all gifts, the tiniest a little 2 cup thing with a slight pour spout. Thin cheap stockpot for spaghetti. Heavy gauge stockpot with steamer and pasta- cooking inserts. Big round Le Creuset two-handled deep lidded skillet, good for chicken fricasee, risotto or a big frittata. Three cast-iron skillets, 2 regular sized and one 8 inch. Giant oval covered roaster I rarely use but could make a good Dutch oven. Pressure cooker! Also have some granny-ware out in the garage that I planned to use in a solar cooker but never got around to completing the cooker. Have to do that w kids before summer ends. No matched set has ever attracted me. For skillets I prefer cast iron; All-Clad and Le Creuset are over-engineered for simple pasta-cooking pots. I got a great second cast-iron skillet at a garage sale for $3. Who needs an All-clad skillet? Also I wouldn't use non-stick if you paid me money. That stuff is toxic. I don't care about low-fat cooking - fat is good for you when used and consumed in normal amounts; a well- seasoned cast iron skillet is all the non-stick I need. Leila |

Currently I'm also >boycotting Wal-Mart because of all the Chinese products they sell, but >admittedly hard to find a company that doesn't sell products from China. I like All-Clad too... I have a lot of pieces of it, since I started buying it piecemeal back in the late 80s, at a steep discount. I got it before it became so popular, when I heard Narsai David talk about it on the radio. I got one piece, and tried it out, and fell in love with it. Then, as I could afford various pieces, I got more. I did get sort of a set of it, from one of the original Bed, Bath and Beyonds, before they became so homogenized...also at a steep discount. There were pieces in there that I wanted, and I use them almost every day. And occasionally I will order a piece from Cookware and More, if I see something that I really like and need. The imperfections they have are minor, and doesn't seem to affect the performance. I got some pieces at an extreme discount when the old Whole Earth Access went out of business in the SFBA. I don't think I ever bought a piece full price. I love the pan...to me, they handle beautifully, and clean up easily. I don't have any hot spots... All the ones I have are made here in this country. I also have some Circulon, which I like. Not many pieces.... And of course, Le Crueset. None of those have I bought in sets... And way back when I first got out of nursing school, I bought some cast iron....to add to what I inherited from my maternal grandmother. Plus, there are various odds and ends of pans, with nothing being part of a set. Like a crepe pan, and a wok. Plus stock pots, paella pans.... Christine |

But there are no Le Crueset outlets near me, darn it. Hmm...are you talking about the Buffet casserole? It just occurred to me that my might be. If so, I have one of those. I love it too, if so.

It is fantastic. http://www.wokshop.com/ If you get another one, get one from there, and get the book Breath of a Wok. It will teach you how to season and cook in it. Great book. Great woks from that store too!! They also sent me some extra stuff, when I ordered from them, totally free. Great service. Christine |
