Update 4/30: I find myself always making my pasta sauce in this pan. Honestly, it is great! At least a 4-star rating! Also, in comparing the Anolon Advanced stainless with my Cuisinart Chef's Classic stainless, I see that the Anolon core is an integral part of the pan while the Cuisinart core appears to be welded. Under extreme circumstances (left on high heat unattended), I have seen these type cores separate from the pan.

(3/22)Not quite as cheaply made as the Calphalon 'commercial' cookware. The top is extremely light and loose. The base is medium to heavy weight. I do like the Analon handles and hope they stand up under normal wear and tear. It does clean up like a dream. At $32, I thought I might be getting a bit better quality. Were it possible, I would rate this a 3 1/2 star purchase.
