Here’s something rare these days with kitchen stuff: Made in the USA!
“American-made at the Regal Ware facility in West Bend, Wisconsin”
Pros:
Made in USA
Makes Macaroni & Cheese
Cons:
Not self cleaning
You know, thinking about it, someone has to have some serious issue with pans to feel the need to put an incredibly big D shaped handle on it. If that wasn’t there, it’d join it’s new friends in my cabinet. But this seriously seems like a pan that says ‘keep away from me.’ I’ll follow what it says.
Wow… I don’t remember the last time I was the first sucker. Just tonight I was looking at my 1-quart saucier and my 3-quart saucepan and wishing I had something in between. I would have felt like a hypocrite if I hadn’t ordered one.

Any idea how hard these are to clean?
If I ever learn to cook, I want one! Anyone know if that is a good price or just an ok price?
I got this in a set about two years ago. It’s a great sauce pan but I’d have a hard time spending $50 on it when I got this whole set for $114.
I find it difficult to believe it makes mac & cheese but can’t clean itself. What kind of product are these people pushing. Sheesh.

Very easy. I made a balsamic reduction in it and cleanup was easy.

This is the manufacturer’s site. So between those it looks like ~$20 off.
Not a whole lot of meat to the reviews though.
Also, if I read those icons on the bottom correctly, this pan plays LPs, vanquishes ghosts, produces perfect sine waves, and is invisible to military radar. I would honestly expect a 2-quart saucepan with those features to cost $75 to $80, so this really is a bargain.

I think this is it on amazon.

That looked like a good deal. Too bad it sold out…
That’s a monstrous helper handle for a 2 quart pan - looks like it’s just in the way on this little pan. It wouldn’t be out of place on a 5 quart pan though.
The Marcus line was discontinued and re-introduced without the associated licensed branding (and the price was dropped a bit… Well, actually, quite a lot.) Present Amazon price is $69.99, so this is $15-$20 off. (New line name is ‘American Cookware TriPly’)
A set runs about $300 - Kohls has had it on special before for just under $200, though theirs had glass lids.
Original retail on this pan was $129, original retail on the American Kitchen TriPly was $89, this appears to be a fair deal.
Now, here’s my protip: Pick up steel rods (Bygel rod) from Ikea along with hooks (about $3 combined) and rescue a cabinet from your pots and pans and hang them up on the wall. Even better, attack that accessory drawer and hang up all those whisks, spatulas, etc right below the pots and pans, and you never have to dig around for anything and it dries nicely.
I’m gonna save that tip! Thanks!

We have a small galley style kitchen - I swear we doubled our storage space by doing this (the rods fit perfectly along the side wall next to the oven.) Plus, no one ever asks ‘where’s the…’ anymore, as all those tools are out and ready to go at all times.
