I always wondered about his line.

May have to give it a try.

@SharkE if you are referring to Curtis Stone I would encourage you to give him a try.  His pans have a nice heft/feel to them and they cook/clean up like a dream.  I haven't been this happy with a set of pans in a very long time . . .

you know me I probably will ! Thanks for the recommendation.

Thanks to everyone for your responses.  You have saved me a great deal of money.  I started to make an expensive purchase but thought I should ask for help on this forum before I would take the plunge because it has helped me so much over many years.  I was glad to hear about the all clad nonstick--not for me.  The Curtis Stone fry pan set is the one I will try.  Thank you mtc for the information.

That was great advice, NickNack. 

I have some All Clad d5 and Copper Core and love both.

As for non-stick, Cook's Illustrated/America's Test Kitchen reviews all kinds of kitchen equipment and gadgets. They wrote that ALL non-stick cookware, regardless of what you pay for it, will eventually lose its non-stick properties so it doesn't make sense to purchase expensive non-stick cookware (which of course All-Clad non-stick is). The CI review recommended one of the T-fal non-stick lines. I heeded their advice and purchased one of the T-Fal nonstick lines about 4 years ago at a very reasonable price. I am careful with it (never use metal utensils) and it still functions beautifully. I know that eventually it will not work so well and at that time I'll purchase new inexpensive non-stick cookware. 

Don't waste your money on anyone's expensive non-stick cookware.
