Just A Couple

We sell a lot of cookware sets on Meh. And just about every time we do, we put together a similar pitch:

Yes, you already have a set of pans. But probably some of them are dinged and dented and scuffed to the point where they’re no longer super effective. And they’re likely pretty old. Also, a bit mismatched.

So why not just replace them all at once?

It’s an airtight pitch, and probably some of you considered it. And then, you saw the price tag, and were like, Yeah, that’s good value for an entire set of cookware. But it’s more than I’m willing to drop just to enjoy a little stylistic continuity in my kitchen. I don’t mind my pots and pans looking different from each other. So I’d prefer to save some money and replace only the one or two pots I need to replace.

Which is what we have here.

One or two pots.

As in, you can choose whether to buy either or both of the pots we have on sale today.

And those pots are:

1. A 1.5-quart saucepan with a lid. It’s stainless steel with 3-layer metal construction and a heavy-gauge aluminum core that distributes heat evenly. Also, it’s dishwasher safe and oven safe up to 450 degrees.

And…

2. A 3.5-quart saucepan. Same 3-level metal construction, aluminum core, oven safe up to 450, and dishwasher safe. But the neat part? The pot has a spout, and the lid features a built-in strainer. If you’re making pasta or boiling potatoes or whatever, you can just pop the lid and pour the water down the drain when you’re done cooking.

And again, you can get one of them, the other, or both together.

As always, remember: these are stainless steel, which is different from nonstick or ceramic-coated cookware. If you’re searing something, let it warm up, add the fat, and then add the (preferably room-temperature) food.

Although, all of this is a bit less important considering these are pots and not frying pans.

Not saying you couldn’t fry an egg in one of these.

Just saying, it’s probably not the best egg-frying implement.

Ending on a negative note! That’s why they pay me the big bucks!
