The pic looks identical to the Calphalon grill pan discussed here recently. Can anyone compare the two?

I can't compare the two because I personally would never eat off aluminum cookware (aluminum is a soft metal that leeches into food and crosses the blood-brain barrier in the human body)...but I can tell you that I bought several Cuisinart STAINLESS STEEL Saute Pans from Amazon and I just love them. These have the Excalibur non-stick surface which does not flake off (it is blended into the metal itelf, according to Cuisinart). I have had mine for about 6 months and couldn't be happier with them. If you can afford them, I highly recommend investing in these...they will last a very long time.

5 1/2 Quart Saute Pan ($99 - I know, very expensive now at Amazon - I paid $59.99 in September)

3 1/2 Quart Saute Pan ($79 - I paid around $39 for this one at Amazon in August)

Bed, Bath and Beyond BM has the calphalon grill pan in their ad every couple of months for $19.99. The ad always has a $5 off of $20 coupon too, so buy something else greater than $.01 and you're golden ...err aluminum...

A cooking mag did a review on cookware and found that the calphalon and cuisinart adonized aluminum cookware we're about the same in quality, etc.
I personaly buy the calphalon, because they have greater retail distribution and if you ever have a problem with it, you can take it to a retailer for replacement.

BTW, this pan does a gerat job on chicken, tuna steaks, etc. Really adds something to the presentation. Used to impress the (hungry) ladies.

While I'll agree that stainless is superior to aluminum, the food your cooking in the pan will probably kill you long before the leached aluminum :)

No offense, your point is probably valid, just got a chuckle out of it...
