I was looking at the September issue of Cook's Illustrated and they had an article on "bargain" saute pans. To my surprise they included a Sitram Profisserie saute pan (3.3 qt) in their ranking and given what I read on this site I thought the pan would be rated quite highly. However, the folks at Cook's Illustrated ranked the pan dead last! In particular, they complained about an "unprotected gap between the disk and the outer edge of the pan" which lead to burning. They also said the pan was too small. Anyways, their winner was an All-clad model (big surprise) and their "Best Buy" was an All-clad clone called "Gourmet Standard" that you can get at knifemerchant.com. So for those of you who own a Sitram, what do you think about this article? I was contemplating buying a Sitram saute pan but now I'm not so sure.
