Reply #27: There are several places to get them online.

Here's one site, Fantes in Philadelphia:

But I haven't gotten any of them online. I get them at Marshalls or Home Goods. (I'm sure everyone knows of these stores, but in case you don't, they sell distressed merchandise, which means overstocks, buy-outs from store closings, etc. Most of the stuff is brand new, first quality, but may appear shop worn.) Their stock changes very frequently and they have *no* "normal" inventory. They simply sell what they get. Both have cookware departments. You'll find everything from lower end stuff from T-Fal (which is actually inexpensive, but not necessarily bad stuff at all), to Emerilware to Cuisinart to All Clad and some European stuff that is great but perhaps unfamiliar to Americans. If you don't find what you want today, check back tomorrow!

And by all means read up on copper before you buy. There are many flavors. 1mm with tin lining, 2mm, 2.5 mm, 3mm, stainless lined, hammered, smooth, polished, brushed, iron handled, bronze handled, French, Italian, Swiss, Portugal, etc. etc. Some copper that may resemble real cookware is really just for display (and is so priced). A google search will turn up many sites with info. Here's just one online resource to start with:

And by all means .... have fun!
