I bought the pro set because that is the only pots that will work with induction heating. Very pleased with the pro set. Would like a cover for the fry pan.

So far as I know, there's only one line of cookware branded Emeril (there's not different tiers of quality). If the set has it pieces you want and it's cheaper elsewhere, go for it!

The ea9800 is brighter and gets slightly better color. It also handles motion slightly better too if you are very particular. You can see reviews off both sets at "televisions.reviewed.com". The differences will be too subtle to distinguish in normal viewing however but it provides more bragging rights for vidoephilles like me.

My Farberware elec. fry pan was probably 20 yrs old. I bought 2 new controls. Both of them felt like they fit but the connection wasn't a tight one. In order to maintain even heating I had to stand there and use some pressure to hold them together. I finally gave up. AH! They sure do not make things like they used to. Good Luck with your search for a control!

I went with the 4661F mainly because of the non-glare screen. I looked at them both, side-by-side in the store at Best Buy in full daylight and the 4665 was just too reflective and distractive, like looking into a mirror. So what if it has a better contrast ratio. It's really negligible unless you are a videophile geek with superhuman bionic vision who can really distinguish between contrast blacks. And for the money, the 4661F is the better deal. Easiest choice I have ever made buying a television and couldn't be happier.

I'm with you on the Panasonic, but they are really hard to find right now. I did pick up an open-box EA18K from Fry's Electronics for $170, but it turned out to be a lemon (endless re-boot cycles when plugged in). The reviewer on Cnet compared the Panasonic and Toshiba side-by-side and the Panny came out way on top. Newegg expects a shipment next week, so I'll wait for that (at $169).While I had the Panasonic manual in my hand I did read where it says any incoming 16:9 contend will get recorded at 4:3 with the widescreen compressed. I don't expect it to look nearly as nice as the original when played back stretched, but whatever.Hey, thanks for the reply. I'm with you on the Panasonic, but they are really hard to find right now.

TeeVoo thanks for the explanation. I just picked up the a950 at best buy for $3600 and no interest for 3 years. My Best Buy was even giving premium home delivery and setup for free on it as well. I compared the two tvs. There is just something about the a950's picture that makes you go "wow." The only wow factor I received from the new LEDs was how thin they were. At the end of the day, I watch what's on the screen and not how thin the actual tv set is so I went with the a950.

I suggest go with the EP-RAC50. These pans were well made and worth every dollar you invest. They are easy to use/ care/ clean and I'm pretty sure they are durable, as I've been a loyal customer to Zojirushi's products for almost 20 years and each of their products lasts for a long time. Go with the higher grade and it will meet your need. (Plus you'll get a steaming plate)

This is only a wild guess, but I imagine it's the labor that goes into the finish. I bought the less expensive for my husband last Christmas (he loves to cook) and have been very satisfied. We use Barkeeper's Friend to polish it up now and then and it looks great. He has a few pieces of the more expensive type, but other than a small difference in weight, I can't tell any difference in the cooking ability. If you are a real gourmet chef, you probably won't be happy with any but the most expensive cookware. However, if you are like most of us, the less expensive will serve you well for many years. :)

I have two - one older (20 yrs) and this newer one you are asking about. Both are Kaiser. Both seem to be the same thickness and cook about the same. I do have to watch the newer one to make sure it doesn't get the crust too dark as it is just a little darker in color. You say your Calphalon is heavier, so you might want to watch the cook time in case it needs adjusting. Also, be careful you haven't bought Kaiser's cheaper version, which looks identical except of the lock; that one is noticeably thinner and isn't worth having. Good luck.

We ordered the Professional, but received the everyday model. We reordered and the same unit came, so we just returned the unit. Sorry, but I have no answer for you as to compare of the two.

I called Omega (it took a couple tries before I actually reached somebody) to ask about the 8004/6 vs 8007/8 their reply was "there aren't any differences worth mentioning." When I pressed further, "you can see from their description they're basically the same. Unless you like the different handle, i don't know why anybody would pay for the newer model." So either a) they're really bad at CS b) the person I spoke to was having a bad day or c) they're just trying to get an extra $30-40 per machine....

Please post a link if you know this specific model is on sale somewhere! :) I've seen the lesser versions (1810TZ and 1410) on sale and people confuse them with the 1810T, but this is the specific one I'm hoping to buy ASAP!

To get a lid that fits both pans, buy T-fal Nonstick Cookware with Glass Lid A9108263, 5-Quart which is a great pan to use for many dishes, including stir-fry and braising recipes (up to 350F in oven).

You have to be very careful they use photo's from other sets. Make sure you read what is in the description. I purchased directly from "Kitchen World" the best price for your money is the Large set. I love the dishes (made in USA) but the bugs are not (made in China). Careful for the words coordinates (those are not corelle, the are just matching pieces) the dishes come in three sizes 10",9",7" they mix and match sets so it gets confusing. I really recommend going to Kitchen World site and familiarize your self with the pieces so you know what your actually getting when you order of Amazon. I could not believe what a complicated ordeal it became to just get some really nice dishes. Good luck You have to be very careful they use photo's from other sets.

You can look for these pans (I bought a few) at Marshalls and T.J. Maxx for a fraction of the price. Specially if you are only looking for certain pieces and don't need the entire set.

I would get the latest version that you can get. It probably not wort the hassle for the few dollars difference between the ʻOld Version" and newer versions. Any way, itʻs an excellent product and has saved my sanity several times and actually saved me money on repairs, without any hassles.
