I need to get a few frying pans and sauce pans. I'd like 11" pans if
possible. What do you suggest that wont break what's left of the bank
after the cook top...lol

I bought the Thermador Hybrid 36" cook top CIT362DS and I absolutely
love it! The speed and immediate response to temperature change via
the slider is astonishing. This thing boils 2 quarts of water in a
minute and twenty seconds on boost!

Any advice you have would be greatly appreciated, ,experience with the
cookware is even better. I have been fortunate that a lot of my
research began right here in this and other newsgroups. Everyone's
honesty and straightforward opinions have helped me tremendously.
Thank you all.

I got the Farberware "Stylus" set at Amazon for about $80
(http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000I6R02M/). The frying pans are aluminum,
but a bunch of reasonable-quality, fairly light, stainless steel,
induction-capable pans for that kind of price is hard to find. Saw some
similar (though heavier) stuff at Ikea yesterday...

I'd still get myself a cheap (< $100) countertop induction burner with
a shutoff timer, though. And probably a Kuhn-Rikon Pressure Cooker
(wow, those prices have gone up since I bought one!), with the money
you saved by not buying the equivalent All-Clad set.
