I would suggest checking out a Viking Mixer. The horsepower and quality can't be beat.
the 7 Qt. has 1000 watts and the 5 quart 800 watts. Viking really stands behind their products also.

I was only in Pgh for a very short time and only ventured to Primanti's (otherwise it was typical franchises..) Here is a link to a chow blog on Pgh restaurants that may be helpful. It is a great city. Don't forget to ride the "incline" :-)

Sorry not be more help..

Of course Primanti Bros! Have fun!
I would recommend Isaley's Chipped Chopped Ham Barbeque. One of my most favorite things. www.isaleys.com is a resource. I had to buy it in Giant Eagle supermarket my last trip. Lemon Blend (mix with water and enjoy!) is great too.. it can be found at some of the gourmet stores right around the warehouse district by Primanti Bros.

Thanks - I am adding this to my list!

Deanna,
Thank you! We will add this info to our plans. Thank you for responding and for the links.

Looking for great food stores, restaurants, grills, etc. in the keys. Staying in Marahon and haven't been there for a number of years.
Appreciate the help.

They do sell separately. I hope you enjoy the pan. (I have the 1 qt sauce pot and love that too... so many uses.)

The CIA Masters Collection 7 ply is what I have and use all the time. It works really well.

Fresh popped pop corn. Just got some carmel topping from the Amish PopCorn Co and it is pretty good. Not homemakde but for late night or football games - it all gets eaten.

I have a couple of the CIA pans and I find them to perform very well. I have been very pleased with my purchase.

Thanks - this recipe looks like the one I tried... question - when cooking the filling - do you wait till it is really thick? I did the time stated in my recipe and now I am thinking I didn't wait long enough. My filling was loose too. (it tasted good tho :-)) Okay - re-read all the psots from the link you provided. You have answered the question in this reply. I am now anxious to try again. Thanks for your help.

Try BarKeepers friend on your stainless steel (not sure about the mirror finishes). I use Bar Keepers Friend (it is like a powder cleanser) on my Viking Stainless steel and it makes the pot look like new. I use metal utensils - I use a hand masher (don't make 6 qts worth) so I am without a strong opinion on the electric beater. I am thinking ... no.

I love the chantal EOS and the copper fusion - espcially the platinum in the Copper Fusion. CHeck out www.parkerspantry.com - they carry the Chantal products. Great service too.

I have Chantal EOS and some of the copper fusion - biggest mistake I made was keeping the heat too high. These pans heat quickly and hold the heat - turn down your burner. Also use a light oil - the pan should would great.

Appreciate the tips! AND the links. THere is no reason to have weepy pie!

Thanks! I will watch and learn from a master!

If you are really in a bind - buy a ham slice with the "mini" bone in it. It is not the ultimate but will do the trick.

Attempting to bake a lemon merinque pie. Last two attemps ended up with weeping meringue and a filling that really didn't set up well. Used the superfine sugar for the merigue.
Is it adding lemon juice (recipe said juice of 2 lemons) at last moment?
This shouldn't be that hard. Tips will be appreciated.

You have to have them from White Castle. Best from the restaurant - tho the ones in the grocery store freezer will do in a pinch.
