The Captain's back... Posts: 1,300 Group: VOY 1000 post angel Member #2,311 Joined: March 31, 2008	After years of hand me downs and one off pieces that were on sale I went and bought a cookware set. This might be refered to as a pots and pans set to some of you. I was a bit torn. All of the professionals seemed to use stainless steel. I do have a stainless steel pan. That bitch stains, false advertising. Also its a real chore to clean. Fry a steak? Scrub forever. Eggs? They stick. Ive used non stick. They clean up easy. However you always hear the bad things about the chemicals used to make the non stick and how it gets in your food. Personally I think the air and water will do me in first. Anyhoots, I decided on ceramic non stick. They had a set on sale at Macy's. It was Martha Stewart. I love that bitch. It was $179, which was cheaper than the stainless steel set at $500. It was an attractive set, light beige inside and out. The reviews were good as well. By time I got my tax return, sale was over. Set was $299. I dont love Martha that much. When I was out for my weekly culture shock at Wal Mart I noticed they had a set. This set was black on the outside. $79. Got it and love it. And probably a good thing, im thinking the black exterior hides stains and belmishes better. what do you boys and girls use?

They're (mostly) non-stick, and sure the others need a bit of work, but using the right pan for the job does help (not using a steel pan to boil milk, etc) !!

We're buying a new piece or two every pay-day. I love them. Great for so many things. Especially, no knead bread.
