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 red paula deen cookware and i love it despite the fact it has to be handwashed they cook wonderful are easy to clean and still look great. my hubby got them for me about 3 christmases ago.

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 love my hard anodized set for cooking. very even heat, and can be used in the microwave. however, they are aluminum, so can not be washed in the dishwasher. So as far as easy clean up..... no so.

I am with everyone else and say stainless steel pots, a cast iron frying pan, and a carbon steel wok.

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 :-)! |
I have Cooks Essentials from QVC. Have had them for years! I love them.
