I have used calphilon with every type of cooking instrument and cleaning it with steel wool using COMET and never have EVER seen anything other than the dull gray finish. Maybe the ``look-alike'' products (Magnilite (tm) etc.) use aluminum coated with the dull gray finish, and that is why they cost less than calphilon, you aren't paying for the real macoy. My advice to anyone purchasing GOOD QUALITY cookware, and wants to never again purchase cookware, buy calphilon. Cast iron is good and works well, however the single drawback to it is that you can't purchase a large 10qt soup kettle in it, nor will it conduct the heat as well. Talk to any professional cook about what he would love to work with all day, and I'll bet that he'll comment about calphilon. barto (david barto) uucp : {decvax!ucbvax || philabs}!sdcsvax!bmcg!barto arpa : sdcsvax!bmcg!barto@nosc
