Since my wife does the quilting I do the cooking. I have a glass top stove and I love porcelain with porcelain insides. There is an art to cooking with porcelain (do not get it too hot) but it is easy to clean up when finished. I got most of mine at Ross's and it is the Tivoli brand, I did get some odd stuff on ebay. . I also have a set of Faberware stainless steel without non stick and for the money it is well made (there is different quality of Faberware so be careful). I have a great stainless pasta pan and steamer I got a Wegamans and various other brand name pans I got at TJ Maxx. I have a handful of cast iron I use for breakfast. There are some wonderful pots and pans out there and I find you get what you pay for. I really do love to cook and have far too many pans for one man to have.
