Why buying good quality cookware is always a good idea

Last night while uploading and editing my pictures for the apartment therapy chicago flikr page, I was making a little dinner - some pasta with tomato/goat cheese sauce. Pretty much almost what I ate the night before at Dad's b.day dinner (although that was much better).

Anyway, I was a bit distracted while I was getting all my pictures up and looking at everyone else's, that I neglected to turn the burner off underneath my saucepan after I mixed up my pasta and ate. It wasn't until I headed back into the kitchen for a pinot grigio refill about 45 mins later that I noticed the flame was on.

I turned it off and peered into the pot, expecting to see the nice non-stick coating demolished and the rubber spatula completely melted. To my amazement, it was fine! The leftover sauce was nothing but charred remains, but the pot was completely intact. I rinsed it out tonight after work, and you'd never know what had happened.

Gotta love Calphalon. It's totally worth it. I am not buying the cheap stuff ever again.
