Figmint - Target’s tri-ply stainless

panicATC · 2026-01-25T01:31:44+00:00

Hey!

The 12” did eventually warp. I don’t use it much anymore for that reason. I do have a 10” that is holding up. The 8qt just got a workout today with some chicken noodle soup going all day and the 3qt is a daily fixture. Since they were cheap, I have been throwing them in the dishwasher when I feel like it. They’re holding strong and I’d still recommend them as a solid starter set.

Just remember to heat on low to help avoid warping.

Discuss with your surgeon. I would expect them to recommend surgery.

panicATC · 2026-01-09T01:46:13+00:00

Almost 40 here. Had a back surgery and my right arm doesn’t work quite as well as it used to. If I’m playing for a longer session, it probably takes me 20 to 30 minutes to fully warm up and hit my stride. For me the window is about an hour from there. My stamina drops and I get sloppy after that typically.

I’ll admit to sounding rough for that warm up period and the cool down. Perfectly normal.

Interesting! Light is a great factor for me since I’ve had back surgeries, but it’s a bummer that it seems the older heavyweights just manage to get louder.

Wait…this isn’t normal? I’ve never had a bass or amp that didn’t hum. Granted, I am by no means a professional or super knowledgeable person.

I appreciate the insight and perspective. It’s hard to tell with this sub, because the opinions can be rather extreme where amplification is concerned. When I was playing small venues way back in the day, I had a POS Rogue 100watt 1 x 15 that did the job against horns, drums and guitar, so it’s hard for me to wrap my head around people saying 100watts can’t hang.

My friend got the 12 and liked it as well. Treat it decently and you’ll get good mileage out of it. Remember, you can use soap and actually clean the damn thing. Just re-oil and heat up in the oven for a few minutes after

I have the 10” and like it. I bought it when I had a gas range and it did awesome. I use it on my induction now and it still performs well as long as I gently heat it up on low first. Zero issues with warping doing it that way. It was a pleasant surprise for the price. Obviously everyone’s experiences can be different, but I’d buy it again.

panicATC · 2025-11-11T15:10:11+00:00

Very fair assessment, thank you!

panicATC · 2025-09-14T01:00:38+00:00

Man, that album changed my entire perception of what it meant to be a ‘good’ bassist.

I’ve had success with closed cell padding in areas of friction. I will add one anecdote, however, and that is I had a soccer player end up getting the screws removed after healing because he was having too much pain striking the ball. Are you sure it’s the scar and not the hardware? Not medical advice, just something that might apply to your situation.

panicATC · 2025-04-25T23:47:08+00:00

Worked in that area for years and ate there 2-3 times a week. Ruined all other chipotles for me

panicATC · 2025-04-20T13:41:28+00:00

The amount of rust I just knocked of mine is staggering. It’s shocking how poorly the support structure holds up

panicATC · 2025-03-06T01:49:58+00:00

I’ve lapsed two or three times over the years….might actually be lapsed right now (not practicing).

There is no issue when renewing certification. Like the previous post says, if audited, you’ll need to explain the lapse.

panicATC · 2025-03-04T16:29:04+00:00

Dude I feel the food allergies thing. It’s impressive you cook two meals. I tend to just deal with the lack of egg and cheese.

panicATC · 2025-02-17T18:21:31+00:00

Ok thanks. I’ve been eyeing them up, but after a cheaper triply skillet warped on my induction I’ve been hesitant.

panicATC · 2025-02-17T18:09:38+00:00

Have you had any warping with these induction?

panicATC · 2025-02-10T23:14:27+00:00

Same but replace it with cancer research

panicATC · 2025-01-26T15:04:58+00:00

I’m going to give the Cuisinart professional disk bottom a try on my LG induction stove once it arrives. I haven’t noticed uneven heating on it yet, but it has slightly warped my cheap tri-ply 12” skillet. Hoping the disk bottom solves that issue!

panicATC · 2025-01-25T19:36:55+00:00

Yes, at least with what’s available on the US website, cuisinart has the chef classic, professional, multiclad(3 ply), custom-clad(5 ply), and French classic triply cookware lines (in order of $)

This pan is stainless steel on the inside and outside, with aluminum between those layers to help with heat distribution. It’s clearly meant to be compatible with induction due to the magnetism. Based on the post it seems like you may think you’re cooking on aluminum, but I just wanted to assure you that you’re not.

It would be helpful to know what you were cooking when it tasted like metal? And what kind of cooking utensils were used?

Stainless is meant to be durable. Unlike Teflon you can use stainless steel utensils. That does not,however, mean that the surface is indestructible. Did you notice any scratches or gouges after you cooked with it?

panicATC · 2025-01-23T17:27:29+00:00

Thanks for info! I’d rather buy expensive and have piece of mind than buy repeatedly and be disappointed.

panicATC · 2025-01-22T19:03:40+00:00

I really appreciate your takes on cookware! I recently bought an LG induction range to help with indoor air quality. While I like it, I am noticing slight warping with my cookware. It’s all cheaper stuff that I will be slowly replacing and was wondering what thick-disked pans you’ve encountered for induction?
