Summary: Silampos less expensive than Cuisinart.

I have discovered a cookware called Silampos, made in Portugal, which
seems very similar to Cuisinart, except it has an aluminium sandwich
bottom instead of a copper one.  It is perhaps not quite as well made
but it is a GREAT DEAL less expensive.

If you buy Cuisinart, be sure to get the professional line, not the stuff
with the wooden handles -- they get very hot, and they don't hold up well
if you put them in the oven and the dishwasher.  The metal handles are
better, and constructed not to hold too much heat.

You can't put Calphalon in the dishwasher.
