bridgetbakes said:So, is it worth it for me to spend "rama" points on the 10" Stainless if I already have the 8" stainless? Any idea what I can do in the 10" pan?
All thoughts and opinions welcomes!
All I can tell you is that I LOVE the 10-inch pan's size with the non-stick executive! I have so many customers who wanted that size, I would definitely make that your "try me" piece at shows! It costs more too.
