OK Bean_head here is some more advice.
Buying good cookware is an investment that will last a lifetime. I have three different kinds of cookware for different types of cooking.
Copper pots and pans are far and away superior because of their ability to conduct heat and allows your ingredients to come to a proper temperature quickly and evenly and it can react very quickly to stovetop and oven temperature changes. If you are willing to make the investment (and willing to keep it polished) It will look great and last a lifetime.
Stainless Steel (Mine are All-Clad) It looks great, it cooks great (it won't react with food) and it's dishwasher safe. It has a lifetime warranty; but I've never had a problem with any of mine or had to replace anything.
Anodized Aluminum (Non-Stick) I bought a set of Cahphalon non-stick about 15 years ago. I have always been somewhat hesitant to use non-stick products because of my perceived concerns about health issues etc; however I was a guest at someone's house and was just in awe at how easily they cleaned up with sticky-gooey things and became a believer. They simply can't be subjected to high heat and you must use non-stick utensils so that they don't become scratched.
I use all three of the different kinds of cookware for different types of food and different ways of cooking them. If I had to have one set of pots and pans and could have a full-time housekeeper to keep them looking beautiful I would have Falk Culinair cooper cookware; my second choice would be All-Clad. The best advice I can give when buying is go to a store and hold them and lift the pieces to make sure you are comfortable handling them; if they are being demonstrated by a cooking professional that is an added bonus. + every good cook needs a really heavy (perfectly seasoned) cast iron skillet.
