    I can't tell from the inside. Are they a non-stick surface on the inside or bare cast-iron?

    they are enamelled coated pots and pans. some come with a non-stick coating. i have both styles and for the most part both types don't have any sticking issues.

    Looking at he prices, I would say only one piece at a time. For that price, regular, ordinary cast-iron works just fine for me. Maybe in my next life when I'm going to be a billionaire...

    You get what you pay for. I was looking at a 23 piece set of Shun knives on eBay today for the low, low price of $1695. So sharp, they come with a set of band aids.

    yup, only one piece at a time and they last forever. they are great to cook with. those who know cooking the difference between good pots and cheap crappy ones. the same holds true for knives. i cut myself recently with my new knife. didn't realize it was that sharp.

    I bought myself a purty new Kyocera ceramic paring knife today. It's my first one. The blade is extremely thin, and super sharp. At $30, I couldn't pass it up. I almost bought myself a 2 piece set for $100 (paring knife and chef's knife), but decided instead to buy my mom one of the paring knives for Christmas.

    It definitely won't get used as much as my Wusthof knives, but for vegetables, it will kick all kinds of ass.

    I love knives. I'm a knife collector. My knives were stolen (hocked) by my ex husband. I hate him the most for that. I've lost my favorite knife and don't know where to go to replace it. I cannot remember the brand for the life of me...I had thought it was a Case but I can't find it. It's got a musket on the side of it. Anyone who could help me find out where to get a new one, I would be extremely appreciative...Maybe it's a Remington brand...it's probably a Remington.

    My favorite "brand" of knives is Hen and Rooster. I LOVE KNIVES! I also lost an old set that I was saving for my son...the set was called "Old Man and the Little Boy". I would like to find a replacement for that.

    I never seem to cut myself on a sharp knife. It's always the dull ones that try to amputate my fingers. I have a slow-turning wet stone (turns through a pool of water) to sharpen my knives. Doesn't get the steel hot, and you can get them sharp enough to shave with in a short time. Does a really great job on lawn mower blades too. Doesn't "burn" the steel like bench grinders do.

    And, as far as pots go, those cheap things most stores sell can stay right there on the store shelves. Ordinary cast-iron works fine for me. And, I don't have to sell my first born to buy one.

    Now Rev I was just using a metaphor the only pan I would use to drive a nail would be that POS revere ware my mom gave me. As for knives I will take my wolfgang Puck set I got as a wedding Present suckers will go thru about anything I need if not I dig out the commercial grade Butcher Knife to do the job or the cleaver to cut thru the bones.
