tropit

I've often wondered that too. I have a lovely, small, French, copper, frying pan that needs re-tinning. I try not to use it much because the food is exposed directly to the copper. I should get that fixed.

Years ago, I was in K Mart and saw a set of Martha Stewart Cookware. It was the last box on the shelf and priced at only $99. I grabbed it, even though it had been previously opened. The only problem that I found afterwards is that someone had swapped out one of the lids for another. The lid that was in my box was just slightly too small for its matching, large pot. Other than that, this cookware is wonderful, works great and looks like it did the day that I bought it. I've since found another lid that fits the large pot and it looks like it belongs. I later bought a Martha Stewart set for each of my kids, but the quality was not the same. Too bad. I don't think that the kids even have theirs any more. I guessed I lucked out with my set.

I'm looking for more cookware right now. I need more pieces and the MS stuff isn't around anymore. I've thought of All Clad, but yikes! It's so expensive! I might try Ebay for some "old school" stuff. I'll look into Copper chef too.
