You want top quality, Made in U.S.A. cookware, you can't go wrong with
Westbend stainless steel - precison made, no perfluorooctanoic acid

Bought a set 32 years ago - contemplating another as the handles on a

Of course, for half the price, you can always buy some Made in China
stuff and be looking for a new set five years from now.
