Wow, I just checked out the prices on that stuff... got money to burn? Did you also check the Cookware forum?

FYI, it's made in Italy by Paderno. And that's a good thing ;-)

I discovered Centurion cookware about 19 years ago when I was hanging out in restaurant supply houses shopping for commercial hot plates and charbroiler. Over the next few years we built up a nice collection. They have been great. After almost 20 years of hard use on 30,000BTU burners they show almost no wear. I canÂt comment on their performance on an induction cook top, but they are outstanding on high output gas burners. Plus you can get REALLY large sizes.

blindstar....thanks for the info. I have some other non-induction pieces and love them, especially for cleaning. Claire
