and while we're on the cooking theme...


WIWI: Rediculously heavy, shiny and complicated. Do they cook food any better than pans that cost a thousand dollars less? Probably not. Hey, did I mention they're shiny?

All-Clad Copper Core
cookware features five (count 'em) five-ply construction with a pure copper pot or pan sandwiched between two layers of aluminum, sandwiched again between two layers of stainless steel. Mmm...sandwich.
$1999.95

I can beat that. Tiffany and I bought a set of pans a while back for...


...THREE FRICKIN' THOUSAND DOLLARS!!!


To make matters worse, the electric frying pan now has a broken leg that renders the it useless -- that is, unless spilling hot oil on kitchen surfaces or yourself is not that big a deal. And the seven-ply bottom of one of our pans now sports a nice blister -- about five inches across.

They were damaged in the tornado that hit our house in September, but we decided not to claim them because we were too embarrassed to admit that we paid $3k for a set of pans.
