The other day I bought a blanket --made in the USA -- I looked at the tag,
"imported material." DAMN!
Be that as it may:
I bought an Emeril stainless steel pan which is 'sponsored' - or some such
wording which I can't recall - by AllClad. I use it because it is a large
in diameter and will work for a fritatta from top of stove to high heat
oven, but it is certainly not my pan of choice for an all-around ss pan. One
would want to have a heavier ss pan IMO.
Most of the time I think I've enough pans, but along comes another
temptation ;-)) What the hey!
