WTH!!! $899?!?! That is totally NOT the usual price. Back near the end of last year The Bay had a cookware sale (50% off most sets). Gordon Ramsey 8 piece was regularly priced at $599, and with 50% off it was $299. I am positive because my cousin was looking for a set and I pointed out the sale to him, and he ended up getting the Gordon Ramsey set.

The Bay has been raising the price of these sets for the last year. For example, we were looking at the 10-piece set over a year ago and it was $749.99, about 8 months later it went up to $899 and now I think the price is somewhere around $1149.

We ended up getting our 10-piece for (I think) $899 and 50% off. I'm very happy with my set.

Oh yeah, should probably change the title of this post to read 65% off PLUS an additional 10%, as you are only getting the 10% on the reduced by 65% price.

[5abSingh]

It's actually 68% off total.

Anything special about these other than the name?

If this is the set, then pretty hot deal. This would be the lowest ive ever seen it. We paid about 325$ from the bay 6 months ago for this and love it. High quality tri clad stainless steel. Cleaning is easy as well to our surprise. Highly recommend if your in the market for a stainless steel set

The Bay is notorious for having items like Luggage and Cookware always at least 30% off. These items rarely ever are not on sale, and the "retail" price is just an inflated price to make it look like a better sale.

I used to work for the Bay doing pricing, and it's a joke, as you feel bad for the people who come in during the one week every 2-3 months these items aren't on sale and they pay "retail", and then the next week it's advertised as 60% off, the next week 50% off, etc.

Anyone know if this set (the one on sale) is magnetic. We just purchased an induction stove-top, and I was told the pots need to be magnetic to heat-up.

Thanks -

Its hard to tell from the pictures, but the connections seem to be riveted. My Paderno set has spot welded connections which is much stronger and durable. Personally, I would never buy a high end set with riveted connections - its a bad investments and tells you alot about the real build quality.

2 cents from a structural engineer....

Not so, It is a matter or preference, many high end makers such as All-Clad and Le Mauviel use rivets, whereas Demeyere uses welds. It goes withoput saying that it all depends on what quality they put into building it. I',m no structural engineer, but it goes without saying that you can have bad riveting just as you can have bad welding. The life cycle analysis has obviously been done on these products to the point of failure, and a process has been chosen that works. I think it is the cheaper cookware that makes either of these processes look bad.

Just a side note, Paderno's Fusion line, and upper line uses riveted handles on their pans.

1 cent from me.......

[moebius]

the regular price of cookware is ridiculous - if you are not getting at least 60% off then you are paying too much.
I just bought a set of Cuisinart from Kitchen Stuff Plus and paid $150 - down from $249 (compare at $400). This looked to be sold to me at the invoice price since their system refused to lower the price below $150.

Also, I am no structural engineer, but many high end pots and pans have riveted handles. And in restaurant kitchens you will find riveted handles as well. Both have advantages and disadvantages. I have a set of welded handles cookware that is falling apart and my Beaumark riveted handles set is still going strong.

To borrow a phrase:

If you are interested in an item of cookware that is not cast-iron (with or without an enamelling), but the description of it nowhere explicitly says "suitable for induction" or words to that clear effect, don't buy it! (Unless you are promised by someone, maker or retailer, in writing, refund guaranteed, that it will work.)


Otherwise, walk in with a magnet and see if it sticks. If it's weak... don't buy it. If it's strong - use your best guess as to whether it will work on your induction stove top.

Have to agree...Even spot welds can weaken and fail over time especially if you use your pans in the oven to finish cooking your food. I don't see where one is far more superior over the other.

Gonna pick up a set

[Cero21]

Bit on this one. Looks like an amazing quality set. I was looking at today in preparation for tomorrow but the saleswoman gave me the 10% off today for signing up for the card. Saved me a trip.

[dgs]

I love the way these sets are billed as "8 piece sets" when 3 of the "pieces" are the lids!! They are presumably being imported from the UK as they are made by Royal Doulton - with the pound continuing to fall against all currencies, this is one item you would expect to drop in price here in Canada.

[chris103610]

It's actually 68% off total.

it depends. alot of noobie CSR's just stack the savings. because they don't understand the 65% and THEN 10% off.

so alot of them just stack it making it %75 off.

[dgs]

Btw - if anybody does buy this set and wants to add to it, the individual items are 50% off at
