If you shop at Costco, check out the Kirkland brand and Tramontina SS sets. A lot less pricey and they look good. A friend has the Kirkland and loves it, don't know anyone with Tramontina SS. I have Tramontina non-stick skillets and they're fine. I replace these often though.

That's funny, I was just at Costco over the weekend and glanced at their stainless cookware. I need to ditch my motley collection worn out stuff. Maybe I'll buy a piece and see if I like it.

I haven't read any replies yet. I have calphalon unison and love it all. I bought a set before we moved to saudi 5 years ago. DH messed up a couple of the pots and I love them so much I had him bring some back from the states last month. My mom saw him bringing me pots and pans and was so annoyed with me. Every store we go to here has a million types of pots and pans but noting compares to what I have. He is in the states again and i'm having him bring me back a calphalon unison wok because I want a new one (current one is not calphalon). I love that they are durable and I can put them in the oven.

How do you make pancakes in a pan that's not nonstick?? Is that a dumb question?

I have a circulon set from costco...its about 5 years old and I have been very happy with it. The whole set was less than $200.

Most just use more oil/butter and basically fry it.

yep... butter or oil between each batch of pancakes... plus a hot pan and you will get a good crust on it so it doesn't stick

Calphalon and or Anolon. Usually get either in BB&B as sets or TJmaxx, HG.
I keep the omelet size for eggs only. If it starts to get scratches I change it to an all purpose and get a new egg pan.
Also cast iron for meats that I want to then finish in oven.

I also have a gorgeous carbon steel pan that was gifted to me by nephew handmade in Charlotttesville, VA. He works there
https://blanccreatives.com/store Mine is the 11 inch skillet

It's a little large for my stove but it's wonderful as well.
