Actually, the beat up pans I have are Calphalon. I've had them for at least 30 years. I like them. The frying pans were very non-stick after I seasoned them and then maintained the season. However, after enough people using them and wash them in soap, they just won't hold a season anymore. Plus, I'm tired of the maintenance of seasoning them. I do have a good opinion of Calphalon though. No TJ Maxx near me. The nearest one is in Oxnard, about 40 miles away. Any savings I might get is more than eaten up by the cost of getting there and back. While I like cast iron pans and have 3 Le Creuset dutch ovens that I regularly use, I really don't want the maintenance of non-enameled cast iron. So after checking everything out in person, I did buy the All-Clad B3 8"/10" set. With the -20% coupon, the price out the door for the set was just over $51. I'll prepare the pans as directed and then cook fried eggs tomorrow. Then I'll report back. Thanks again for all the suggestions.

I Hate My Kitchen. It's very appropriate for my house.

RIP Luvbug. She sounds like she was a great kitty. Her final gift to you and herself was a peaceable passing. Hang in there, Dusty. Thanks for giving her such a good life.

Red Vodka strikes again!

For all the people waiting for a killer deal on Breitling watches, maybe today's 1SaleADay's Breitling deal would suit you.

As a southpaw (left-handed), who enjoys many ambidextrous and left-handed tools, etc., I have never felt the need for an ambidextrous or left-handed camera. Canon is definitely a leading thought leader.

I'm looking to replace my PTFE (i.e. Teflon) non-stick fry/sautee pan and my abused (by houseguests) fry/sautee pans with an inexpensive set on non-sticks. My requirements are: Non-PFTE non-stick OK to put in oven and broiler (up to 450 degrees or so) Less that $100 for 2. I'm willing to go over $100 if you can convince me. Here are some examples of what I'm looking at: All-Clad B3 2 Piece Fry set Calphalon Contemporary Non-Stick 10" and 12" Omelette Pans Calphalon Unison Non-Stick 10" and 12" Omelette Pans I've found all of these at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I like shopping there as I have a -20% coupon. I'm not tied to BBB. I'm leaning to the All-Clad as I know that Jacob really likes All-Clad products. But I am still undecided and would love to hear your recommendations.

and asleep so it goes fast.

Probably differential equations and tensors. Nothing too tough.

Happy Birthday, Knucks! :prettyprincess:

Congrats, Jacob. Don't worry about math. I'm sure that you could trade cooking for tutoring with either Shelly or CJ.

Sorry about the work situation, Peter.

Happy Birthday! :prettyprincess:

Happy Birthday, Jacob! Enjoy your first "domestic" birthday. :prettyprincess:

Happy Birthday! :prettyprincess: Hope it was great.

Happy Birthday, Steve! :prettyprincess: Have a great one. Greg, how about a birthday lunch for Steve soon?

Thanks everybody. I had a quiet day yesterday home with my animals. It was nice.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.

Happy Holiday Birthday, guys! :prettyprincess:

Very belated Happy Birthday, guys! :prettyprincess:

Right now they are having a Christmas sale of 60% off.

Everything I've read indicates that his mother was doing exactly as you suggest. Now what?

Gene, you forgot to mention how much they also like shovels. Good luck Jacob. I think that the only luck you'll need is getting the letters of recommendation in on time.
