I went to a collegues house recently to see s

There's a lot here about the different quality steel used in pots. Has good explanation of the Bicarb trick in the discussion/comments section.

wow that was strangely interesting. So they are not even titantium! Just stainless steel like my cheapo ikea pans! All be it a slightly higher grade of stainless steel with a bit more chromium in or wotever to slightly improve corrosion resistance but hardly worth the 1000% mark up!

Did thet do the bicarb trick on you?

They did do the bicarb pan test, I was amazed! I am very easily tricked. Devious pan bastardry.

What are these Pans of Wonderousness? Yes I know that word doesn't exist but surely it should to describe these. I am addicted to my Le Cruesuet but these sound to die for. Will they turn me into a Super-Model/sex kitten/domestic goddess type thing?
