Cookware CSI

Out of curiosity, can anyone identify the cookware Gordon Ramsay is using in this clip to make scrambled eggs?

(As a disclaimer for my first post, I'm a culinary newbie but have an addiction to shiny things. I've become obsessed with getting stainless steel cookware after always being disappointed by the longevity of my non-stick pans. Google has been of little help in answering this question.)

    The saucepan looks to me like a Demeyere Apollo (staight, rounded hollow handle, welded).

    It's getting hard to find pictures now that the line isn't available in the US (lots of other Demeyere lines still are, but they have different styling). Here's an out-of-stock page that might disappear at some point: http://www.amazon.com/Demeyere-Apollo...

    An equally good possibility is that it's a Sitram, in the Profiserie or Catering lines (which differ only in the encapsulated metal in the base, aluminum vs. copper). They're also rivetless, and with straight, rounded handles. That's actually the better bet, since the Sitram (like the steel skillet) are restaurant ware.

      That's totally an Apollo! The Sitram has that loop at the end of the handle formed by squashing and piercing the tube. Thanks everyone!

      I agree with the others. The first pan looks like a DeBuyer pan. If not Debuyer, then it has to be a carbon steel.

        Yes, I think the mushroom pan is a De Buyer, too. The stainless sauce pan is still stumping me. I thought All-Clad used a riveted construction?

            The pan with the mushrooms/tomatoes are a french or blue steel, which are awesome for heat distribution and all around cooking. It looked like a standard 2qt saucier, all clad or something with the eggs in it. basically, the technique that he uses shortens the length of the protein in the egg that if you beat them with butter while it cooks, it shortens the strand.
