Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 I haven't bought any but check out www.qvc.com and their brand of cookware Cook's essentials. It's non stick and you can use metal utensils in it. They have a set of 1810 stainless steel. Best of all if you buy something and don't like it you can send it back.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Just checked my pans....Wolfgang Puck Bistro Collection...they are nonmagnetic...so don't get those. I missed the first e-mail on this issue. Is this stand only for cooking. I have a Stainless steel counter top that we cut on. We actually are surrounded by the stuff. What about mixing bowls and Blenders?? Is it just a heating element issue? Thanks, lestatl382 wrote: I haven't bought any but check out www.qvc.com and their brand of cookware Cook's essentials.
