Red Copper vs Blue Diamond – which one is a better choice? Both are great brands and they both provide amazing products, but we can only choose one.

Last Updated Jan 2021 – It’s pretty hard to pick between cookware sets these days. The communication age has given us unprecedented access to information that we can share. While that means it’s easy to look up reviews, it also means that companies can more easily figure out exactly what customers want.

Swiss Diamond‘s marketing team is excellent. For years, consumers like you and me have associated the brand name with durable, safe non-stick that’s “nearly indestructible.” While they’ve shied away from that particular term in more recent years, their current marketing still touts the incredible longevity and toughness of their non-stick pots and pans. Their diamond-infused coating lasts for many, many times as long as leading competitors, at least if you trust the graphs on their website.

When it comes to affordable non-stick cookware, Circulon is one of my favorite brands. When it comes to construction, quality, and pricing, they know their stuff. They might not be a clear market leader, but they’re certainly competitive with other top brands. Their solid warranty programs and the multitude of options available help ensure that you can find the perfect hard anodized set that will last for years in your kitchen.

Cash might not rule everything around me, but it’s certainly a factor in my decisions. Saving a few dollars (or a few hundred) on the purchase of a household necessity lets me spend more money on the things I enjoy.

Making candy is, if you’ll pardon the terrible pun, sweet. It’s also not for everyone. It doesn’t necessarily take a lot of work to make candy, but it does take time, care and attention. One little slip-up and you could wind up with a sticky mess that hardly resembles the candy you were trying to make. You’ll be even more disappointed when you realize that cleaning up after a botched candy-making attempt is one of the most frustrating things that you’ll ever experience.

If you’ve spent any amount of time researching cookware, you’ve probably heard of All-Clad. The American cookware manufacturer has some die-hard fans that will sing the brand’s praises at every opportunity. While this is certainly a sign of something, it’s not necessarily an accurate representation of All-Clad products.

Last Updated Jan 2021 – To me, a celebrity endorsement is a BAD thing. Unless it’s a very specific pairing of chef and product, having a celebrity chef’s name on something means that it’s not particularly high quality. Professional chefs don’t look for products with the names of TV stars on them. Instead, they look for inexpensive, durable, and reliable products that will get the job done day after day.
