I'll be over to dent your pans later.

hello!

Unless they are, and you are, and you're wrong.

See...the original poster is all warped because these friggin things were so
damn expensive, he's scared to use them!

Mine were damn expensive, and I'm not scared to use
them, nor clean them, but I'd be ****ed if some yobbo
without the proper respect for them scratched them up
and said "they are pots, they are not objects of art,
blah blah blah."

But the OP clearly said "someone used them and now they are all scratched"
(paraphrased).

they obviously don't "get" it.

Usenet's a hell of a thing. It remembers better than
you and I do. Here it is unparaphrased:

"They used the AllClad for cooking and also cleaned them after. They
scratched the insides of all the pots and pans with who knows what. "

Using them and scratching them are two different processes.

they obviously don't "get" it.

No, what they get is that someone didn't take care of
expensive and sensitive devices.

If you had a Calphalon pan and a houseguest stuffed
it in the dishwasher, what would you say?

If you had a freshly sharpened knife and someone used it
to slice limes in the stainless-steel sink, how would
you feel?

If you had a brand new microwave oven and someone tossed
a foil-wrapped TV dinner in it and blew out its klystron
tube, to what depths of verbal abuse would you not sink?

Ack! Did my houseguests ruin my AllClad LTD cookware set?!!

No.



I have a set of AllClad LTD pots/pans. A while back we had some
houseguests that were here helping us when our first child was born.
They used the AllClad for cooking and also cleaned them after. They
scratched the insides of all the pots and pans with who knows what.
If you shine them in the light you can see all the scrub marks on the
bottom and sides from when they were cleaned. When I rub my finger on
them you can't feel them, nor can you feel the scratches if you run
your fingernail across them. Are these things ruined or can I get my
mirror finish back? I'd like to buy something kind of polish, sit
down, and get these things back to the way they were when I bought
them.

If you accomplish this, be sure to stop using them. Pots get scratches.
I'm rather proud of my heavily used pans. Means I'm a cooker, not a
looker.

I was very distressed tonight when I learned they were all scratched
up like this.

If that is so, I suggest you get rid of all mirrors. Seeing what 40
years'll do to your face is much more humbling.

Also, why doesn't AllClad want you to put these LTDs in the dishwasher
anyways?

It is the detergent.
