Well, I'm a list- lurker and I get the digest, so I'm late replying to
Generys' question. I have Calphalon, the regular (non- non-stick). I
thought to replace all of my first cookware 20 some years ago with
Calphalon after I'd been given one 2 1/2 quart pot by my stepfather, who
had bought it some time before I was born.

I'm turning 42 in February. I still have the pot and its matching lid...
