I have a few sets of cookware. I have thick bottomed stainless steel with non stick for cooking some things. The so called TV cook ware hawked by HSN.com. I find it very good for most things. Its called Ultrex.
But its not good if you want to carmelize and saute. For this I have wolfgang puck's saute pans made from stainless. I got my 2 pans for a song at TJ Maxx. They have glbutt lids, which I like.
Then I have a few TFal pans I use for omelets. I throw these out every few years or so and get new if they start looking beat up. They do make very good omelets and there is a small size for just one person.

I also have an ancient set of stainless steel Farberware that is over 25 yrs old that I use. It has a copper bottom wafered between aluminum but the insides and sides are stainless. It works well too.
It occurs to me that one kind of cookware does not meet all needs. I prefer a stainless non stick with a heavy bottom for every day and then augment with other pieces as needed.
