I agree with Shoekitty's recommendation for Kirkland 18/10 stainless from Costco.

My set is at least 7 years old, and I love it. Many people do not like sets, but this set is such a great price, and I find I use all the pieces. I do have two pre-seasoned Lodge round griddle pans (10 1/2 inch) for pancakes, crepes, sometimes eggs. But, I also cook eggs in the 8-inch stainless pan, and it does a great job.

I've been eyeing the Blue Jean Chef set of pants - non-stick with silicone handles & lid tops. I like them because of the rounded shape in the bottoms. They look like you would really be able to dish out the contents without having to go into a crease in the interior to do so. (Hope that makes sense.) Haven't ordered yet, and they may be getting low in stock, but I really like the look of that set.

Rachel Ray's oblong set also seems to have some definite advantages.

Thanks everyone for the tips and suggestions. We don't have Costco in my area, only Sam's and BJs. I'm gonna check out Emeril's set this week.
