Window shopping FB Marketplace for cookware, I came across this:
3 weeks old ad. Some obvious junk, the Rachel Ray non stick. The cast iron is hard to tell because I can’t see the bottom, but those are usually Lodge (good product, but very common) or cheap Asian. But that stainless lid underneath looks like an All Clad….
I messaged the guy, it took a few days but we finally met up. I took one look and just gave him the $20. Not gonna fight over $5/10, when $5 is the new $1 and $100 is the new $20.
First, we got… a 10” WagnerWare Sydney 0.
It’s rust free on the inside, the brown is just a reflection of the tan porch umbrella.
As an added bonus…
A couple Cuisinart stainless steel skillets, with steel lids, and two small saucepans from “Tools of the Trade”.
The Cuisinart aren’t the really expensive ones, and they aren’t the really cheap ones, they’re one step up from the bottom. The 12” retails around $100, the 10” around $80, and they typically sell for about 80% of that: $79.95 and $64.95, but without the lids (or with glass lids, I saw both and it might just be incomplete ads). The “Tools of the Trade” pieces are fairly lightweight, with cheap handles, but with nice aluminum clad bottoms; I’d compare them with late model RevereWare. They’re serviceable.
The Wagner is pretty close to how I’d like it to be. It needs only minor cleaning to be ready for burgers. The stainless stuff is perfect. Stainless gets a bad rap, like it’s the worst of both worlds, but it’s good stuff. You just need to understand its strengths and weaknesses.
