My dad bought me some stuff today. Actually he gave me his credit card and a budget and I bought:
This
And this...
And this!
ETA: And these, which he decided I must have.
I can't wait. I have some really excellent pans but I need some larger sized frying pans as I now cook for a crowd fairly often. I have big sauté pans and a big dutch oven but I didn't have a good big frying pan. Also for some reason I didn't have a plain old black cast iron pan. It's a wonder I haven't been drummed out of the south.

Happy cooking!

(and being that I'm on a soft-food diet - the mere thought of wonderful southern style food is enough to make me cry!)

The pans must go with small or moderate heat, right?

No, those All Clads can take massive heat from professional ranges. I have some other pans with the same construction and they look like new even after years of use. They'll go from a super hot flame into a 550 degree oven and back again. The nice thing is though that if you want to use them on a very low flame they'll distribute that low heat evenly across the pan, so you don't get hot spots and scorching.

The stainless steel reminds me of those top-of-the-line kitchen stuff in the Loft:)

They make a thing, I can't remember what it's called, but it sits on your burner and forces it to a low heat. It's like a metal disk that sits on the flame and acts to reduce the heat before it hits your pans. It allows a simmer on burners like yours that don't go low enough. It's not expensive either as I recall. Try www.chefscatalog.com or www.surlatable.com. Apparently you aren't alone in having a hard time getting a low flame.
