You can't go wrong with Curtis Stone.

I purchased the Henckels Capri Notte Granitium 3 pc Fry Pan Set at Costco and am very pleased with them. I use them all the time, practically daily.

I bought Curtis Stone skillets this year and really love them.  They heat evenly and clean easily.  I have a set of three and love them.  My old skillets were cal-halon and I like these better.

If my dog doesn't like you, neither do I.

I bought the Member's Mark nonstick set at Sam's in 2009.  Since then, I have had to replace the 5 qt. saute pan and the 6 qt. Dutch oven, because the nonstick finally wore out after heavy use.  I bought replacement pieces at TJ Maxx and paid around $80 just for the two replacement pieces.  Everything else is still going strong.  We recently got a Costco, so I am going to let my Sam's Club membership expire, but before it does, I am going to pick up another Member's Mark set.  At $129 for as many pieces as you get, this will be cheaper for me than buying more replacement pans, as I sometimes need 2 5-qt. saute pans going at once and am now down to one.  The one I bought a TJ Maxx is the Calphalon brand, but I don't like it nearly as well as the Sam's brand.  It is not as deep even though the bottom says 5-qt.  I love the Sam's Club set and highly recommend if you're in the market for non-stick!  Here is a photo of it:

Find one that has nonstick coating on the rivet heads too!  Curtis Stone is a great pan, but if you get anything on the rivets it is difficult to scrub off!

I haven't cooked anything in a stainless steel pot or skillet in a long time and I have tons of All Clad bought new over 30 years.

 

I have a 4.5 qt. Le Creuset Soup pot and one just a little smaller on the stove and amost everything gets cooked in those.  I have a larger wider Staub pot with a steamer insert we leave out too, and we use it all the time.

 

These are SO easy to clean up, look beautiful and do soups, veggies, stews, chilis, etc.  We use non stick for eggs, and Le Creuset skillets and grills all the time.  The grills make the best cornbread and the ridges are great for it.  We preheat in the over, fill with batter and pop back in the oven.

You might spend a few moments searching YouTube for current reviews (check the age of it) of new lines. I always look for the real people unboxing and reviews of products I am thinking of purchasing more helpful than vendors selling their products.
