I have a set of Lifetime that was quite expensive at the time. It is waterless stainless steel and has held up well with about 50 years of service, which includes putting it into the dishwasher. I've loved those pans until I bought a glass-top stove. They don't make the same contact with the surface as with an electric stove with the traditional circular elements. Too, if pans tend to curve with use, they don't make contact with the glass tops. So back to the Revere Ware pans but have to watch carefully that they don't stick. I don't care for pans with any kind of added surface as it can become scratched or may "cook off" with use.
