I recently went from non-stick to stainless steel (Cuisinart brand) and really am happy with them. My guys did want a new non-stick fry pan for eggs though lol.

Forgot to mention...if you get stainless steel, you will need a stainless steel cleaning product because some food items discolor the bottoms and it is common. There are a few different ones at the local grocers in the dish soap isle.

If you have a Costco nearby, you may want to take a look at their stainless steel pans, http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product...rodid=11503441 . I bought them when I was looking a few years ago and have been very hapy with them. If you Google them you can find lots of reviews and opinions. Can't remember why I decided not to go with Hard-Anodized Aluminum but we are just too rough on our cookware to even consider porcelain coated.

Years ago I bought stainless steel with the thick bottoms. They are called waterless cookware. I still use them every day and they cook good and have lasted very good. They have been a joy as with BarKeepsFriend cleaner, they are very easy to take care of. Happy shopping.

i had to get stainless steel for my glass cook top. i got Caphalon and Cuisenart too. they clean up well but tend to let food stick some. then i looked for a small skillet with non stick surface but stainless steel bottom, which is a must. found Oneida. got a large one too! I sore i would never use teflon or silicon bottoms again but love it.
I got a set half price at Bed,Bath and Beyond on their sale rack!!

I've had my stainless steel since 1960, and they are still good, although I should replace a couple handles. I also use my cast iron pieces which are well-seasoned (but heavy), and I recently added a set of T-fal which was about half-price of regular. I once had a set of Kitchen Fair,(party plan), which were heavy, but great at first, but over the years the no-stick interiors flaked off. That was an expensive venture, as I bought 2 smaller sets for my kids. I do like the T-fal for eggs, pancakes, browning of meats, veggies, etc.

I've purchased many duds over the years but finally found ones that to me are the best. I purchased a set of Emeril Lagasse's pans and couldn't be happier. I've since bought individual pieces to complete my set. They have the best in weight and materials; have glass lids; and very sturdy handles. They can be put in the dishwasher or easily washed by hand. I purchased mine at Bed Bath and Beyond and used a 20% off coupon. BTW their coupons never expire (even though they have an expiration date on them) and they let you use a coupon on each item up to five.

This is what I bought years ago. I have from the smallest to the wok and the largest pot they have. I love them. Especially with a daughter who can litterly burn water. I put a little vinegar in the bottom and let it soak and it all comes out. I also have my non-stick for my eggs and my large french pot but my day to day one are these and they hold up so well. I love it because when you put the lid on them they are so much faster than regular ones
