If you want something else where the “packaging has been damaged but the merchandise is still in NEW condition”, except much cheaper, I am selling myself for half the price.

@tinamarie1974 I spotted one of them when my brother and I were hunting. They kinda resemble the Mario 1-Up mushrooms. If I could figure out how to upload a picture I’d show ya.
@phendrick@robson The hope is that when Pitney Bowes leaves it in a semi trailer for a few weeks at a truck stop somewhere near Akron, Ohio, the damaged pots and cardboard will have time to heal so they will be fully recovered by the time they eventually get to your house in September.
Nah, have cheap stainless pots and pans from Spain back when Spain was the China in the early 80s. Got them for like $5.00 a pot at the new Dollar General. They have these ugly aluminum heat diffusers bonded to the bottoms and the stainless is really thick like you can’t dent these things. And the Plastic handles are massive and have been etched by the TSP in dishwasher soap. But they still look like new, work great on an electric range, and we eat out most nights anyway because we are both too lazy to cook. But we’ve got a kitchen of really great crap for the care giver to use when the time comes.
Model: 64-13-1UM (the UM stands for
Ultra-Masterchef; the numbers are just
numbers)
The “64” denotes 1964, the birth year of Gregg Wallace, co-host of the UK version of MasterChef.
The “13” represents the MasterChef competition’s cutthroat spirit, inspired by the mealtime betrayal of Jesus Christ by Judas Iscariot, the 13th person seated at the Last Supper. (Or the number of pieces in the cookware set, I suppose.)
The “1” serves as an all-important reminder: in the end, there can be only one MasterChef.
“Our second chef, Curtis Garrison, is your roommate who does the dishes once every six months. He’ll be cooking using whatever he can find that’s currently clean.”
C’mon, meh. Everyone knows that real chefs use cookware that hasn’t been cleaned in months. “Salmonella” begins with Salmon, doesn’t it? And who doesn’t like Salmon? The “ella” part means vanilla…so its Salmon a la vanilla.
Let your Cuisinart® Contour Hard Anodized Cookware
cool before cleaning. The reinforced nonstick system
and the smooth exterior ensure easy cleaning. Cookware
should be washed by hand with hot, sudsy water and a
sponge or soft dishcloth. Do not use steel wool or other
metal or abrasive pads that can scratch your cookware.
After washing, rinse thoroughly and dry immediately to
maintain Cuisinart®
Cookware’s flawless finish. Do not put
in the dishwasher, since harsh detergents will harm
exterior finish.
@Endreo No. Anodized cookware scratches pretty easily. I personally avoid it as much as possible.
If you want something that’s dishwasher safe nearly across the board, stainless steel or ceramic
@KCFalcon59 Funny enough, I just got a set of Cuisinart Stainless Steel (multi-clad) to replace my Calphalon non-stick that I’ve had for almost 10 years.
Be very careful not to rinse them hot, that happened to mine a couple times and the largest skillet from the set developed a big warp.
This deal could cause pan-demonium, so you had better hang on to your pan-tyhose, because pan-icky people everyone (except in Pan-ama and the pan-handle of Florida) will suddenly start making pan-cakes in their pan-talones, which will surely result in pan-createctomies galore.
I got these a few weeks back. They perform very well on my glass cooktop. My last place had a gas range so it didn’t matter as much if the bottoms weren’t flat, but it became clear when I moved here I needed new pans. Previous roommates had warped most of my cookware.
Pass just past Christmas bought the wife a brand new set of Tramontina Induction safe cookware. Which we have a glass top but if its rated for Induction its gotta be good.
@whomeyesu Induction rated just means its made of a magnetic metal. That rules out glass, copper, some blends of stainless steel, and of course aluminum, which is what all the cheap cookware is made of. That said the Tramontica stuff is usually 3-ply stainless which is pretty good.
@whomeyesu I would agree that “Induction” capability does not necessarily mean good quality. However, it will generally be heavier, since it must necessarily have ferrous metal (I think that’s the term) in the base. These are often done by a cladding technique, either just as a flat base, or in some cases wrapped up around the sides. This tends to be more costly to manufacture. So yes, I suppose it’s a fair assumption that an Induction-ready pot will often be better quality than an all-aluminum one. But it doesn’t mean there aren’t also very well-made pots that are not Induction-ready. And some Induction-ready pots may still be crap.
@Beverley1746 Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) (conjugate base perfluorooctanoate)—also known as C8—is a perfluorinated carboxylic acid produced and used worldwide as an industrial surfactant in chemical processes and as a material feedstock, and is a health concern and subject to regulatory action and voluntary industrial phase-outs.

@ShotgunX are you also good for cooking?
@RiotDemon @ShotgunX How do you mean that? Is he good “at” cooking? Or…are you thinking “Jeffrey Dahmer”… good for cooking?
@eeterrific @RiotDemon @ShotgunX If not the first, then the second?
@ciabelle @eeterrific @ShotgunX

@RiotDemon @ShotgunX Selling his cookware so I’d guess no.

Hey who are those little mushroom guys? They are pretty cute!
@tinamarie1974 Either Meh has a new anthropomorphic spokesfungus, or Glen just OD’d on Fly Agaric mushrooms… (possibly both)
@tinamarie1974 I will only buy if it comes with the mushroom guys!
@robson v smart. They look like the cook, so that is a bonus
@tinamarie1974 I spotted one of them when my brother and I were hunting. They kinda resemble the Mario 1-Up mushrooms. If I could figure out how to upload a picture I’d show ya.
@tinamarie1974 @tweezak They pop up every year in a park near work. Some of them are huge (6-8" across the cap)
@tinamarie1974 Figured it out…can’t do it on my phone, evidently.
@tweezak those are really pretty. They barely look real!
“The packaging has been damaged”
– Pitney Bowes?
… and, Meh, you are going to give them another chance?
According to Wikipedia, “Pitney Bowes provides customer engagement”; has anyone here been adequately engaged by PB? (Was it a long engagement?)
@phendrick it was about as good as my last engagement.
@phendrick This means it was already damaged before pitney bowes damages it further for you. It comes pre-damaged to save you the trouble and worry.
@phendrick @robson The hope is that when Pitney Bowes leaves it in a semi trailer for a few weeks at a truck stop somewhere near Akron, Ohio, the damaged pots and cardboard will have time to heal so they will be fully recovered by the time they eventually get to your house in September.
Got an extra banged up set from an IRK, and they’re actually really good! Recommend.
Also, washing them near-exclusively in the dishwasher has yet to cause any visible harm.

@cranky1950 On the plus side, I don’t think they still put TSP in dishwasher soap.

You cannot use these on an induction cooktop, in case anyone was wondering.
Will the court case for selling stolen merchandise be over in 2021 or 2022? Need to set the proper expectation.

Are these dishwasher safe?
@Endreo I’m guessing no.
@Endreo from the manual:
@Endreo @RiotDemon if you don’t care about the exterior, then yes.
@Endreo No. Anodized cookware scratches pretty easily. I personally avoid it as much as possible.
If you want something that’s dishwasher safe nearly across the board, stainless steel or ceramic
@Endreo @RiotDemon Hah! Knew it. No de-glaze cleanings, then? Or is the cool down warning applicability for just-out-of-the-oven hot?
I just bought a set of Calphalon stainless steel cookware on Saturday. I do like my Cuisinart coffee maker though.
@KCFalcon59 I have some calphalon non stick skillets. They are my favorite.
@KCFalcon59 @RiotDemon My personal favorite are my Griswold and Wagner nonstick cast iron pans.
@RiotDemon I have a couple of them myself. Very good quality.
