I have a set of stainless steel pans (I think Emerilware) and love them. I do wash them by hand though - not in the dishwasher. In the camper we have a set of hard anodized pans that work well too. Also love my enamal over cast iron dutch oven.

I also picked up a 12 inch covered skillet by T-Fal that is hard-anodized as well as dishwasher safe. I got a deal on that one too! I think I ended up paying $30 for it (orig. $70).
Off to figure out where I'm going to store all these new pans....

I have the Paula Deen set as well and love them! They heat evenly due to the copper coating thats on the bottom of the pan. I have never had a problem with them with regards to cleaning I think we paid about $120 for a 10pc set of hers and it was well worth the money. The stainless steel can get pricey but like a lot of things you get the quality that you pay for.

I bought my stainless steel from a company called "Ginny's". best money I ever spent. They even have silicone handles to keep hands cool. They are easy to clean, don't weigh much, and are dishwasher safe. I hate enameled pans since they chip, and I am a klutz. Anodized aluminum says right on them not to use them for tomato based dishes. DH loves his spaghetti. Nuff said.

I just got a couple pieces of triple ply AlClad Stainless. I tell you what they are great! I will be saving for more. The large fry pan I got does well in both the oven and the stove top and I get fantastic result with flavor when I deglaze after browning.
Best investment I ever made: except for sewing/quilting stuff :-)!
