Has anyone tried both the Great Northern Stainless Steel and this one? The Lindy is 3.5 lbs, Great Northern is 2 lbs. Is heavier or lighter better?

I cant tell you which is better. We bought the Lindys. Is suppose to be better for glass cook top.

The better question is: Is aluminum better than stainless steel. Lindy is stainless steel with an aluminum plate sealed in the bottom between stainless steel. It is less likely to warp (which my aluminum one did). I also find using virgin coconut oil is great - no oil slick on the pan that cannot be washed off.

I feel heavier is better. I have the Lindy popcorn make and I don't worry about the popcorn burning. The heat is spread more evenly.

The Foogo has a 3" diameter. It is actually wider than the 16 oz stainless steel version. That one only has 2.75" diameter. However, it did keep food warmer than the Foogo.

I don't believe so, but I returned them because we had kitchen remodeling to do and I was concerned about caring for them. My recollection is that the stainless were lighter, but both are lovely.

I have no idea, but this unit is solid. A friend has something she bought at Target, and it is lightweight in comparison. It is seamless stainless inside also. Well made. We love it. Nothing bad to say about it.

I think the best way to describe it is Arctic stainless is lighter and brighter than stainless (which is a darker gray). We have Samsung and LG Stainless steel appliances and we think the Arctic stainless matches much better.

My mistake. I thought the ad stated 18/10 stainless. And because of the weight of the pan, I assumed it was. 18/10 versus 18/0 is only the difference between the amount of Nickel added to the steel. Nickel gives it the brilliant shine and resists rust, so the more nickel, the more the shine and the ability to clean up easier. 18 (chromium) and 10(nickel). It is still a great pan for the price. The 13T is some sort of allow measurement, so I'm not sure why it is stamped on the plate. Hopefully, this helps. You might want to research the manufacturer of the pan for more info.

Not sure about the full weight but I have a full set of stainless steel Cuisinart and it hold it just fine. If installed properly, it is very sturdy.

I believe this is probably a misprint. My scales show it to be 4 lbs. Hope this helps, also the JS660 is the best and strongest B&D; I have used in my 77 years!

This is Stainless Steel and fairly thin. Stainless Steel is not a heavy metal. It has a beautiful shine also. It is not a heavy plate but I don't know what you mean by "really light." This is not as heavy as a traditional dinner plate.

I found this for you, hope it helps... Nickel Question: "Hi. I'm considering getting a Berkey.Any thoughts on stainless steel vs plastic? I've read that stainless steel, unless surgical grade stainless steel, can leech nickel and chromium into the water. On the Berkey site, it says the filters are." high quality, hand buffed 304 stainless steel" which is not the surgical grade steel. What to do... ?" Answer: "I would always choose stainless steel [over] plastic. The steel leaches less and is more durable. Yes all stainless leaches, even surgical. Keep in mind the tests usually heat the steel with water in it. The water in the berkey will be room temperature, not heated, so leaching will be very low if any. Also, the water in the berkey will be in constant rotation and never staying in the unit for a log period of time. We take the water out of the berkey and transfer it to a glass jar with a spigot for use, that way we also know how much water we have at anytime. Keep in mind that the toxins removed by the berkey will be tremendously more than what could ever be leached from the unit itself. We don't live in a perfect world and compromise is always in the mix. Hope that helps."

They are two different product lines. The difference, I believe is that the Best pans have thicker metal bases than the Plus. I have only used the Plus and I think a heavier weight pan would be a detriment as the Plus are quite heavy for most users.

I know nothing about the lighter one! But this one is awesome! VERY sturdy! My grandson plays with it for hours!! Very solid! Sorry I could not help more, I know nothing about the other one!

All my pans and pots are stainless steel. Cooking at times for someone else in her house using her non stick coated cookware I would just guess that they weigh about the same. The contemporary stainless steel is maybe a touch lighter. Easy to lift, but heavy enough for pot roast and easy to clean.

I want to know the difference as well. Only thing i could find was that 3b net weight (28 lbs)is 3 lbs lighter than 2b. Not sure if that means less bolts in the packaging or slightly thinner steel. The reviews for 2b look better overall but the look is from the pics show them being identical..edit:Did some more digging. They are indeed the same thing and actually same price. According to another review site. Amazon ships the 3b even though it says 2b but listing has not been updated. Price + shipping of almost 20 brings price back in line with Amazons super saver shipping price. Hope this helps. I want to know the difference as well.

I agree with Jennifer. It's a sturdy and solid warmer. I did use it with the tea pot I had on hand (stainless steel) but was not happy until I purchased a cast iron Dragonfly design tea pot which fits perfectly. Although the tea warmer base worked fine with the larger stainless steel, the cast iron stays warmer longer, and I'll concur, the prices of the cast iron pots on Amazon are quite reasonable. But you should have no problem keeping your tea warm in your existing tea pot even if the pot is somewhat larger than the diameter of the base of the warmer. It's still hard to beat cast iron!
