Experts Try Celebrity-Chef Cookware;

In a kitchen at Manhattan's International Culinary Center, chef André Soltner and two cookware junkies seem bent on destroying a collection of brand-new pots and pans.
"This is very thin," says John Doherty, executive chef of the Waldorf-Astoria hotel, as he taps the side of a stainless-steel frying pan. He holds the pan against his stomach, and then pushes in the sides like an accordion. "Oh my God," he says. "I just bent it."

I don't know what pan he is using, but my Emeril pans do not tip.

But since they do say...

Pressed to name a set that offered the best value, they chose Emeril Lagasse's Emerilware, by a nose.

It must not have been too bad.

I love my Emerilware.

I have some of Emerils cookware, I use regular and I like it, but my mainstay is a 2-12 5ply set I just love them, low heat, easy to clean, and heavy but not to heavy. I use bar keepers friend to keep them clean and shinning. I use to buy Pucks sets for wedding presents, they are not bad but the handles are flimisy. edges are sharp, and they can not handel the oven heat as well.

I generally use All-Clad.
