[Sca-cooks] Replacing a pan...from Isabella

[Elaine Koogler]

I also own Calphalon and have had no problems with it...both anodized
aluminum and non-stick.  However, I found absolutely dynamite buys on really
top-notch (IMHO) stainless at our local Restaurant Depot.  I think they
exist in a lot of places across the country, though they may be known by
different names (the one I go to is called Jetro).  They have the pans like
those described earlier, with a nice, thick panel of steel welded to the
bottom.  I don't remember exact prices, but IIRC, a 2 qt sauce pan was under
$20.
