You do sound a bit babyish when it comes to cookware. Perhaps you
need
all the help you can get.

I've tried a few heavy bottom pans and ended up giving them away.
Cast iron pans don't impress me either and I rarely use mine.

I can pan sear then cook to med-rare a good steak in my
RevereWare frying pan. Thin as it is. I've done it for years.
Just a matter of knowing how to cook well with what you have.
