Farberware or Reverewere- looks nice, not heavy, and is durable.Sis

Take a look at Cuisinart's Everyday Stainless Line.

That's what I got, because I have tendinitis in both arms and lifting
heavy pots is difficult. These have a good heft, but not as heavy as
the more expensive stuff.

And cooking in them has been a dream. I also like the shape of the
handles better than most cookware, easier for me to hold.

They clean up easy too!
