    I use stainless steel outer three ply core pots and cast iron skillets. I love Le Creuset, last for generations. I use non stick skillet or pot when needed. I haven't had to buy new cookware except for the non stick in years. Non stick doesn't last and shouldn't be used if any scratches are in it. Saladmaster is good cookware but I would never buy a set. Most pieces are never used. Buy a few pans that you will use.

    Well, I did buy salad master and I do like them. About the health benefits? Who knows. BUT, I did check on some of the non-stick stuff and they do put a warning sticker on some of them. Tiny print saying 'do not heat over low medium heat if you have a bird in the same room'. Really? Not safe for the bird but it's ok for me to eat food cooked in it? Non-stick HAS to tell you what the coating is, and you can look that up. They are allowed to put X amount of bad chemicals/leaching in our cookware & dishes.

    We've heard for years not to cook in aluminum, so this company is just building on that fear. We shouldn't be eating food from a grill, either, because supposedly that crreates carcinogens. I do use only glass in the microwave...and I cook with stainless steel pots. Mostly I eat out, and who knows what all that can cause? (Besides fat rolls around the middle! )

    I use stainless steel and iron pans. I do have one aluminum oven tray that I shouldn't use but it still is in rotation occasionally for brownies.

    I have old pots and pans and new ones. I use what works for me. when it comes to my veggies, though I prefer steam for cooking with a meal, fresh on a salad and also baked veggies like sweet potatoes, egg plant, etc. I love to steam crisp veggies the throw them on a salad. I rarely buy canned veggies. I may have a can of baked beans in the pantry. Love to combine fruits and veggies in a salad. OOps guess I hijacked a post. Love tosqueeze lemon and olive oil for veggie dip.

    I use some teflon coated, copper, stainless steel and cast iron. The food we eat, the way it's grown and processed will probably kill us before the way we cook it. Grill or whatever type of pan, none of them are that great health wise. I think all the junk in the air from pollution, and the sizing on our clothing and fabrics in the store is worse for us to breathe in than the stuff from our pots and pans.

    Remember the amber colored Vision Ware glass pots and pans that came out about 30 years ago? Still using them and won't give them up! My brother looks out for them at thrift stores and replenishes on the occasion dear hubby manages to break the handle off one. I do have one Calphalon stainless steel frying pan that my sister gave me a couple of years ago and I do like to use it when frying because it cleans easily. I agree that everything is a sales pitch these days and every single thing is going to kill us!

    Back in 1990 a friend was having a "Pot Party" my than husband
    (which we were newly married just a couple weeks) decided that
    we "needed" these new pots and pans.

    So for 5 years we paid on these $1800 (before ANY interest charges
    and such). 25+ years later and I am still using them and they still look
    almost as good as the day I got them.

    The brand name is Regal Ware Cordon Bleu "Waterless" cookware.


    NEVER will I ever buy into the "hype" of what is good or bad when
    it comes to cookware again.

    THIS is just my feelings and personal opinions.

    I still have a couple of pieces of those. I love the big dutch oven one. I wonder why they were discontinued?
