Well, I tried to reply earlier in the day from a different server but
that post must have gone into the bit bucket somewhere. If this is a
duplicate on your server please overlook it.

I'm very happy with the Stainless 500 line from qvc.com It's non-stick,
safe in the oven to 500dF, very easy clean-up, guarenteed for life and a
starter 10 piece set goes for around $100. The only drawback is it's
weight which comes from the thick base but that also gives it very good
heat distibution.

I see that I'm in the minority here on my opionion but <shrug> oh well. ;-)
