Unfortunately, with our middle class manufacturing jobs moving off shore - the US is evolving into a stratified society that is made of the very rich and the not quite dirt poor. -- sf |

Post WWII until at least the 1990's, manufacturing and the skilled worker made this country great. WE are demanding more and more low priced merchandise and companies are willing to give it to use, regardless of the real cost. It is also before the CEO was making 300X the worker. |

I absolutely love my Emeril All Clad, and I also love the glass lids. Wherever they are
made, they are quality. And the All Clad warranty is in effect. I had to return one when it was new because of a discoloration on the interior, and they sent a new one, no problem, no questions. Mine has stainless inside and out, and cleans as though it is non-stick. N. |

You can get whatever the hell you want made in China at whatever quality level and whatever tech level you choose. The stuff I sell is sold to my by European manufacturers and surprisingly, the products are made in China, Malaysia, Singapore, and other places in Asia. They do not retail for cheap either. As they say, pride always comes before the fall. |

I have (was gifted) a 3 set of Martha Stewart cast iron pans. I seasoned them but they do seem inferior to me vs the old CI pans. Maybe this is why I never use them. G. PS - have you seen that Rachael Ray now endorses her own brand of dog food? LOL! Bet it contains EVOO! ![]() |

FWI, Emeril All Clad usually costs less than just regular All Clad. And the
product is identical. N. |

Kalma, I bought my Emerilware when I remodeled my kitchen, 2006-2007. I generally use one or
two pieces every day. I have had some really messy fry jobs in them, and they clean up really well. They look like new. N. |

I don't know and I don't understand the relevance. There are different levels of All Clad products, all are good. Some are better, at least under some uses. Some do not have the cladding up the sides, only on the bottom. Some are made in the US, some not. Some have different thicknesses of the heat conductive layer, some have 5 layers, some have three. There are probably more differences, All Clad keeps mum. If the Emeril stuff works for you, it is fine by me. I doubt I would toss it out myself. But there are differences. |

I really don't care, but...) fancy assed sweater with a little alligator logo on it, and I used a seam ripper to carefully remove that little alligator advertising applique, and I loved safey pinning it to the shittiest shirts I coulld find!!

Okay, if you want to spend $XX on a bunch of shirts and give them to me, I won't argue. Otherwise, nope, I'm not buying something with a logo on it. Well, maybe Levi's but I don't really think of that as a logo. Just the best blue jeans ever. ![]() Jill |

So of them many have cheap lines that are sold for very little at places like Walmart, Target and Marshalls and free advertising is the price shoppers pay for their cheap merchandise. You never get something for virtually nothing. Retail merchandising operates by the same axiom as the internet: If you're not paying for the product, YOU are the product. -- sf |
