A world-class collection of nonstick cookware, Emerilware bears the signature of celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse (Bam!) and was created in partnership with renowned cookware maker All-Clad. Durable, heavy, and beautiful, Emerilware combines the contemporary style of charcoal-black, hard-anodized aluminum and the contemporary ease of nonstick. Key to the cookware's high performance is the exceptional thickness (5 mm) of the hard-anodized aluminum and three layers of tough nonstick. That means better heat retention and scratch resistance. Ideal for low-fat, healthful cooking, Emerilware carries a lifetime warranty against defects. This classic, slope-sided frying pan dramatically displays Emerilware's virtues. It's 8 inches in diameter, perfect for cooking a couple of eggs sunny-side up or a slab of halibut. The pan has a flared lip that prevents drips when pouring. The long handle has an indented thumb rest and is rounded for comfort. Cast of stainless steel and polished, the handle is riveted to the pan for strength, stays cool on the stovetop, and is oven-safe. Emerilware should be hand washed. --Fred Brack
