High end cookware usually has a lifetime guarantee. That means that if your non-stick coating starts peeling, you can exchange it for one that isn’t.
I have a Calphalon frying pan with the non-stick coating coming off. So I went to Bed, Bath, and Beyond to get a new one. Hubby and I decided we wanted to start cooking with stainless steel, so I also picked out a Lagasse (as in Emeril) frying pan and a Cuisinart saute pan.
I figured I’d get a new Calphalon and buy the other two. Until the dude at BBB informed me that I could put the price of the Calphalon toward the other pans.
Add in the 20 percent off coupons for each pan and do you know what it cost me?
-$4
That’s right. I got two new pans and MONEY BACK. Score! o/!!
So did you learn something new today?
How amazingly awesome is that? WAY!!! I can’t believe they gave you money BACK! I’m so proud of you.
This would have continued to be exciting if we didn’t just get a $1,000 car repair. *sigh*
but it’s better than a car payment, it’s better than a car payment, it’s better than a car payment…
Awesome you! I had no idea. Something to think about next time I’m weighing whether to buy cheap or quality. Quality!
Kinda cool, huh?
Do you think that guarantee would still apply if say, you accidentally leave your “Hot Hands Heart” in a pot of boiling water and it explodes because you let the water boil out? Not that it’s ever happened to me…more than once.
Hey – can’t hurt to ask.
