Hello,

I am new to the group and I am hoping I can get some good pots and pans
purchase information based on the experiences of you folks.

I am no cook, by any means, but enjoy trying to be a cook.

I need a GOOD set of pots and pans. Not something extravagant, but something
that is a good, solid set of pots and pans. The $ range is tremendous and I am
sure there is a good reason for such a wide variety of prices.

If you have a mintue and some good advice on buying pans, please dual post
and/or email me with your feedback. Personally, I would like
for the pots/pans to be able to be used in all feasible appliances, dishwasher,
oven, stovetop, etc., unless that really takes away from the other overall
advantages. The only other requirement that I would like would be the
non-stick surfaces unless that option also is counter to another better
consideration based on your experiences.

Thanks so much ... in advance!
