to answer ;-). So, here are some suggestions that are unlikely to ever prompt a second guess as you acquire more and more skills in the kitchen. The one pan that will never hold you back is a copper-bodied saucier: Falk Culinair...

I have Mauviel Inducinox – which is made specifically for induction ranges, but I’ve used it on both gas and electric ranges no problem.

I’m trying to find a good spot locally to purchase Paella pans. I don’t see the need for the high $$$ stuff from All-Clad or Mauviel at Williams Sonoma, but I’m coming up empty anywhere else. Any suggestions?...

I would check two cookware suppliers in New York: Bridge Kitchenware (www.bridgekitchenware.com) and J.B. Prince (www.jbprince.com). Bridge sells both Sitram and Paderno; J.B. Prince sells Sitram and Mauviel. Both offer...

You could watch the sale table at Williams-Sonoma and see if they put any of their Mauviel or Ruffoni on it. As unlikely as it seems, they did that last year and I got a stockpot, a saute pan, a Windsor pan and a saucier at half...
