This looks amazing, you can do a magic trick in the kitchen. Chez, I am shopping for new cookware and noticed in the slide you are using hard anodized?? There are lots of choices. As a chef, what do you prefer? I want a set I can use a long time. My current set isn't coated and I have a lot of "stickage!"
ReplyDeletemzjoy, you can spend a lot of money for fancy calphalon pans ... but i bought a 12 piece set of calphalon knockoffs at sam's club about 8-9 years ago (members mark) for about $150 for the whole set - and they have been great pans. i also use an old griswold black iron skillet a lot, and have a couple pieces of le creuset that i really like.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for your information. There are so many kinds out there and of course the name brands are sky high. I had looked at Members Mark and they do look like sturdy pans. I like "once and done" things, don't want to have to replace for awhile. Thanks Chez!
