My advice is if you're interested in copper do 2.5-3mm or go to Aluminum. Copper has a much faster heat transfer than Aluminum but it also loses heat faster which isn't desirable if you want to cook anything. So to make a long story...

Oh, red sauces for pasta are easier than you might think. Start with crushed tomatoes and fresh herbs and go from there. If you do what a lot of beginner cooks do and try to add spices to Prego you'll just be battling blandness. Starting...

Jason, Pasta is easy, bread is magic. I know people that have been cooking for years that can't make a loaf of bread! There's a lot more tactical "feel" to bread whereas pasta you just follow the directions. You missed a...
