I think you can't beat Stainless Steel for everyday cooking. If you're looking for good, affordable cookware, let's look at Farberware's Millenium Soft touch 12 piece Cookware Set.
Check out this Farberware set. It's worth your consideration as it covers all your basic needs. It's also a great addition to what you already might have.
Three different Saucepans - 1 qt; 1.5 qt and one 2 qt. each with its own glass lid
Two Skillets - one 8 inch and one10 inch
A Stockpot - 8 qt. - with glass and steel lid.
Two utensils - slotted spoon and turner.I do favor stainless steel for cooking because it is basic, everlasting and cooks wonderfully. This cookware will work on just about any stovetop - flame or electric or other commonly used methods. The big Stockpot is a treasure, and is good for soups and stews. A big potful of chile or even corned beef and cabbage is waiting to happen with this pot.
