tri-ply cookware in Toronto

[knet]

I am looking at adding some cuisinart multiclad or calphalon stainless steel tri-ply saucepans to my kitchen and have not been able to find either one in stores in Toronto. I have some Al-Clad pieces but I don't feel I want to spend quite as much on smaller saucepans. Can anyone tell me where I can find either of these lines in Toronto - or offer any other suggestions for fully clad stainless steel saucepans in Toronto? Thanks!

Thanks to everyone for the advice. I have actually purchased the Calphalon tri-ply 12" everyday pan ( could have wished for a stainless steel lid instead of glass) because of its versatility and a 1.5 quart Cuisinart Multiclad saucepan - still looking at the other suggestions for a saute pan and saucier. Thanks again.

I just bought a Cuisinox 7.4 lt dutch oven for $157 at The Cook's Place, 501 Danforth Ave, [phone]. With the money I saved (vs buying All-Clad) I can now add the 2 qt saucepan to my collection for $84! There is currently a 20% off promotion. I was also happy that I can support a Canadian product since the Paderno pots I have aren't good for smooth surfaces, especially induction cooktops.
Here's an article comparing the major brands:

Good luck!

Good to know about the promotion. The most-used pan in my kitchen is my Cuisinox 5.3L saute pan, but I've been eyeing the 7L rondeau. Hmmm.

Interesting that there were no performance differences as tested. One might choose the lowest price and expect performance as good as All-Clad.

I love my cookware -- assorted pieces I've bought in the past few years at Nella on Queen East (also available at their Norfinch location). It's made by Cuisinox (their Elite line); it's an All-Clad look-alike; not cheap, but less expensive than All-Clad. It's 3-ply bottom and sides.

If you want Calphalon, they have a store on Spadina. And Cuisinart (which I don't think is 3-ply) is probably available at The Bay and at Caynes.

I bought a cusinart multiclad set from Cayne's Superhousewares store probably 5 or 6 years ago and they still serve me well. It was the only place I could find it locally at the time. I'd recommend the series.

There is a Lagostina cookware set on sale at Costco for $160. The pans have the thickest aluminum wafer I have yet seen. They also have a 5 ply (SS, alum, copper,alum,SS) set at $250.

Cayne's does have a good selection of cookware and there prices are usually quite good.
