I use pots/pans that are called Volrath. I bought them for my "hope" chest in 1973, and started using them in 1975. They are stainless, and have really met the test of time. The other set that I use is a Calaphon set that I received as a prize for winning a national contest, in 1994, that the company I was working for sponsored. Both sets have been work horses. Not much help! Don't know if either is still available.
