The "No Pots/Pans" Challenge= Obsolete

Good news, everyone!  The "No Pots/Pans" challenge is now obsolete.  I found a rather nice, decently priced set at the "big box store" in the next town over.  It's a 12 pc set by Tramontina, in bronze.  The aluminum is nice and thick and the color is even nice.  I've cooked with the pots twice so far and can honestly say that I think it was a good purchase.  The thicker metal allows the heat to distribute more evenly and retains the heat rather nicely.

There were plenty of cheaper sets at the store, of course, but the cheapness wasn't only visible in the price.  Since this purchase was more of an investment, the roughly $80 price tag was totally worth it.  So far, I am impressed by my new set.  Now for the test of time.

The first thing I cooked in the new pots (after seasoning them of course, per the instructions on the package), was a quick and easy bow-ties with sauce.  Garlic & herb bread and a nice glass of Moscato rounded out the meal.
