We bought a set of Revereware back in '86, made in USA. The stove in the house that we bought in '96 had a glass top and some of the RW was not flat, so we eventually replaced all of it.

Calphalon is OK, I believe that it is three layers, stainless steel surrounding an iron core.

I just bought Baby Doll a new 5-layer fry pan made by Heritage in Clarksville TN. Yet to see how well it does.

Was dating someone who made me a lasagna once. Once. Used a pot to make sauce, used another pot to cook the beef. Used a 3rd pot to cook the noodles. Used a ginormous roasting pan to bake it, and left all the dirty dishes for the next day.

I like it when it works out that way.

I believe I may have cooked once in the last 25 years. And I recall it was not good.

I can boil water to throw the pasta into and nuke some Ragu to go on top of it

Luckily, my wife is a very good cook and baker

I love to cook. Learned from my dad. I don’t normally gloat, but when it comes to my cooking, I’m all ego. Lol. I take pics of my food.

As everyone knows, I am an excellent cook.

Whenever I have guests over, they tell me I’ve never cooked better!

Before the divorce had a huge gourmet kitchen.

I cooked, as did she, daily. It was extremely organized, had the right thing for everything we wanted to do...

Now I have a bigger kitchen but its not the same(condo), plus electric stove which to me is completely useless so I've only cooked at home maybe 20 times in the past year.

I am usually ready to murder someone 1/2 way through making anything because it just cannot be as organized as it was before.

It is important enough to me to say **** the interest rates and buy the place I want.

I really enjoy cooking and am pretty good at it. I also clean as I go so cleanup is much easier. My GF also helps with cleanup. She does not like cooking and prefers to clean. Works for me.
