Reply to comment by HearingDamage_ in In search of quality ceramic cookware by HearingDamage_
I currently have the Demeyere Atlantis and it is arguably one of the gold standards of stainless cookware with simply stellar performance. It really shines with induction, which can have a tendency to be hard on cookware.
The Multi-Clad Pro (MCP) and the Professional Series are both good products. The MCP is fully clad, whereas the Professional Series uses a disc design (the Chef's Classic uses a disc design as well, but it is not as good of a design as the Professional Series). Tramontina Tri-ply Clad is also good on the entry level of stainless.
However, I would strongly recommend considering All-Clad because it is a step up in manufacturing quality compared to Cuisinart and Tramontina, and they currently have crazy good deals on factory seconds at https://homeandcooksales.com/ . These are factory-direct sales of cookware with damaged packaging (for a discount) or cosmetic imperfections (for a huge discount). I had All-Clad before getting my Demeyere I highly recommend them.
If you are flexible on pricing, I would also recommend looking at the Demeyere Industry and Demeyere Atlantis.

A Superman pillow case that was part of a set I was given when I was 5 years old. (I’m 48 now). My son used it exclusively for about a 15 years (He’s 17 now). Currently in the linen drawer and still comes out from time to time.

Chuck Albertson once made a crock pot steak. His uncle Norris said it did a terrible job searing

WTF? I speak from experience, I’ve put out way to many fires started by space heaters.

Does look like one but it’s a 4.20 lb chuck roast from Albertsons.

My mom had the same one. We got it around ‘77 too. It may have outlived her. I’ll have to ask my sister.

Calligaris has extending and fixed tables using stone style ceramic tops. I've seen them in person and they look great, and the extension mechanisms are very smooth.

What brand do you like for stainless? Is Cuisinart any good?

Dude ...... U/Dk9221 closing in in 70. No doubt you'll be the same at my age. Hang with a younger crowd. Athletically, still compete against the younger flat-bellies. To quote Clint Eastwood: "don't let the old man in"
