Whenever I cruise the Matfer Bourgeat USA website, I inch closer and closer to pulling the trigger on their multiple baguette pan. It is one of the few sites where you can find such pans without nonstick treatment.

My top 4:
12 inch Paderno SS fry pan
10 inch Paderno SS pot
12 inch Paderno SS Braiser
11 inch Kuraidori Select NS Forged Aluminum Wok (which I use to introduce pasta to sauce for the very first time or to cook up mushrooms and other vegetables).
Soon to make the list will be a Staub Dutch Oven.
Least 4 used:
NS Paella pan
All-Clad SS oval Gratin
Paderno SS flat bottomed wok
25lb roaster (which gets use only a few times a year).
The wok will perhaps see more use this year as I plan to explore more dishes from a recent cookbook purchase.
