I replaced a very old set of aluminum sauce pans recently. I found the 2 quart Tri-ply pan favorably reviewed on several culinary sites. The price was what decided it for me. But now that I have used it for several months the quality is what would bring me back and should lead you as well.
I love this pan! Just what I wanted in my kitchen. Size is ideal. Easy to clean. And I love how great this pan works with cooking fantastic meals in it.
I'm thoroughly enjoying my new Tramontina cookware. I replaced my beloved 50-year-old Revere Ware because it didn't work well with my new glass top stove. I blamed the stove until my son told me I needed new cookware. He was right! I chose Tramontina and have no regrets. A big concern I had was that the first brand I considered was too heavy and unwieldy. I'm very pleased that my Tramontina pots and pans are well-balanced and easy to handle. Also, I don't know why they recommend hand-washing. I've been putting mine in the dishwasher and they still look great.
I love the price and performance of this pot. The look is refined and it heats well, just like you'd think. I bought this to replace a calphalon item of similar design that had weathered over time and was unnecessarily non-stick coated. It's a great replacement.
I have always wanted a really good quality cooking set. Last year I purchased a complete set of these pans to go along with my newly remolded kitchen. They are a beautiful addition and work wonderfully. I use these pans nearly everyday, and wanted to supplement my set with an additional 3 quart pan - which is a super handy size in the kitchen. I was truly delighted to find out that I could order just this one extra pan, as opposed to another entire set. Perfect! I love it!
