I think for about 3 years All Clad has sponsored a contest for engaged couples ... and I just saw something in the paper about it the other day - for full rules you can call 1-800-ALL CLAD. I think deadline is Nov. Alas, I do not fit that category .... nor do any of my family (wish my duaghter would!) but I believe the 'theme' has been different each year. And it would be a good way to get some freebies! Dream on.

I rather agree with Judy on how easy to clean the All Clad is without the non-stick coating. If I do something that is sticky; I just put hot soapy water in it ...and let it sit a few minutes ..... and presto... no heavy scrubbing. I, too, have trouble with little nicks on non-stick coating (have a terrific big roaster type pan that I love, but over 5 years its gotten a few scratches and nicks .... and this was expensive!
