They still are selling a stock pot by the manufacturer online and still
have some of the Sauté pans I bought in the store.

I've seen those - they look very good, especially for the price. But -
the Italian stuff I have doesn't have the disk bottom - it's like
All-Clad, in that it has a stainless lining, an aluminium middle, and a
stainless outer layer, all the way up the sides.

Is the bottom very thick? I've seen pots where the sides are flush but the
bottom is just much thicker than the sides of the pot. Pretty much the same
thing in a different style.
