My latest purchase was an inexpensive on-sale Cusinart (bottom of the
line) Classic or Chef's Classic - something with a fancy name -- just
received it last Friday. It was on sale from $60 to $30 at Amazon.

One of the reasons I bought it was, it was a 14-inch pan -- and I thought
the bottom would fit the big 11-1/2" burner on my stove. It has no lid,
but it is shaped somewhat like a paella pan. I've never made paella, so
I thought I might give it a try one day. Also it looks like it might be
used successfully for a larger frittata pan that I use -- it will.

The quality is light. If I had seen it in a store, I would have been
very undecided as to whether it was worth $30.

That's why I am a bit leery of buying kitchen stuff on-line... I like to
see it in "real life" before making a decision.

Me, too, Cathy; that's what I'd 'prefer.'

I really don't see too much choice anywhere I go - same ole stuff. Take
a look at www.fantes.com Now when have I ever been in a store like that!
On-line one can see dozens of versions of one type of item of choice. If I
had to go check out that one choice at a kitchen store, I'd never find it,
so it's worth taking the chance for me.

I've bought loads of kitchen stuff on-line, and I recommend it; but I do get
disappointed sometimes, less than what one would expect, tho.

I'd never buy much at all if all I had was W-S, Linens 'n, and Kohl's,
Penny's, Sears and the like - there's a Macy's a long ways away and a couple
of outlets about a hundred miles away, but it's the same ole crap.
