Re: Re: stainless steel

[Guest guest]

Hi Sandy:

at cooking.com. I've never used them to cook in the oven, just for storage.

for cooking I use only either pyrex or Le creuset.

if you do search for " storage containers + anchor hocking " in froogle it

should bring it up. I like cooking.com becasue they send the products very

fast and in perfect condition always, so I trust them. sometimes the run out

and email you when they have things in stock again. if they don't have them,

leave them your email and they will email you very soon.

hope it helps
