What kind of cooking & baking ware do you use?

11. Most things are Calphalon. If I had it to do over, I'd go with All Clad.

We originally bought Calphalon because we lucked into a phenomenal deal. A regional department store ran periodic 20% off sales. We found a ten piece set marked at $99.95, so with the discount we got the set for $80.00. To be honest, I think someone (not me) switched price stickers, but we got the benefit. We’ve added many pieces over the years.

We’ve also had a few pieces replaced under their guarantee due to worn finishes on the aluminum. We also have a couple of pieces of Analon. I think their nonstick finish holds up better than Calphalon.

We also have some Lodge cast iron, and carbon steel, which are being used more often in recent days.
