This category got crowded real fast! At first, I didn't even see it as a duel. Emson was pursuing titanium and Tristar was pursuing copper, and the two have different strategies for going to market.

Now Telebrands has entered the mix with a pan to compete with both marketers, and Tristar has introduced a line of pans that includes the square one above. In other words, this competition just blew past duel and became a full-fledged melee.

There's no sense guessing at a winner because, with this many pans in the market, there won't be one.
