Tue, 2 Nov 1999 19:27:00 GMT

rating: 2/5 by: Epinions Author colburke - I received the Calphalon "Pots and Pans" line of cookware as a gift. I've had them for about 2 years and they've held up extremely well. There's not a wobbly handle in the lot.

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author colburke - You can read the other reviews about the scenery, the seemingly endless star-filled sky, and the inspiration/spirituality that the Grand Canyon evokes. But, I'm talkin' about the PAIN. I've learned the hard way that working out at the gym 4 times a...
