Cookware Ratings
Q: Just thought everyone might be interested to know that Consumer Reports rates most home and professional type cookware in its December 1995 issue. I was surprised to see that some of the "cheaper" brands of cookware actually performed as well (or better) than the "professional" types of cookware including All Clad and Calphalon. At any rate, if you're considering the purchase of cookware, I would suggest reading the article.
A: What they didn't report on was the longevity of the various brands and models. Warping of the bottom of the pan is the worse thing that can happen (causes uneven heating). Non-metal (plastic,etc.) handles can crack and break. My wife paid $300 (I really don't want to guess what they would cost today, $1000+?) for complete set of "Prudential" cookware 30 tears ago. They are just now starting to show slight warpage. They are guaranteed for life and they have replaced the plastic (bake-a-lite?) handles promptly. I suspect that some of the "cheaper" brands may not last more than 10 years or so under normal usage. All-Clad, et al should last forever. We are currently looking to replace them and have been using an odd assortment of All-Clad LTD and Bourgeat. I personally prefer the Bourgeat but they definitely have that "industrial" look. The LTD is much more aesthetically pleasing.
