I have a set 0f 18/10 is non stick cookware that cost a reasonable 200-300
American dollars i think. It is a professional grade - metal handles, oven safe
http://www.farberwarecookware.com/popups/71588.html that will old up long enough
to be the holder for my ashes (in 40 years!). My husband said it was safe to
use metal tools in it, but all my tools were plastic after years of having
T-fal. I don't mind my plastic tools though anyway..lol grown fond of them
after using them for nearly 29 years on all of my pans which have always been
Silverstone Silverstone. In fact I have found my Silverstone cheap 20 year old
or good stuff held up better then any of the old Teflon crap..(which was never
nonstick for me!)
