I'm taking the stainless steel plunge - kind of...

[Michael_in_TX]

In 2002 I was a huge fan of Emeril Lagasse so I, of course, got his full cookware set, which is rebranded All-Clad. That stuff is quality. I've used it for nineteen years now.

It's all non-stick and I agree with jfmorris.....the non-stick on the skillets is great, but I would have preferred the saucepots to be stainless. The Teflon coating is starting to show a bit of wear on the skillets and has lost much of its "non-stickness" over two decades.

So if you do decide to go for the non-stick All-Clad, you'll probably get a good 20 years out of it, as I have.

"Our pets HEADS ARE FALLING OFF!"

Man, I hear ya. I hope things only happen in threes because this has been a very expensive month

We got rid of our coated cookware after learning the fumes are lethal to parakeets. I was skeptical when I was first told, but lots of articles back that up.

I hear you about the CI, same deal in our house (except we don't have a 16 year old in the house and haven't had for nearly 14 years 👌).
I would like an explanation for this however, as no matter how many times I read it, I'm still confused; "it seems like all our vehicles keep breaking things ("our pets heads are falling off!!!!")." 🤔

It seems we use that phrase a couple of times a week. At least for the last few years. <facepalm>

I assume it refers to a sick pet but it’s unclear if this is a routine cold for them or actually involves a risk of the pet’s head falling off via some weirdly broken bone.

Or maybe car engine problems?
