    I bought a set of Seal OMatic before I got married. We celebrated our 50th April 2. I still have it and it is still as good as the day I got it. They replace it if anything happens to it. It has changed somewhat and the replacement pieces aren't as heavy as the original. I paid over $200 for it and my husband thought that was exhorbitant, cost morethan our first refrigerator. I'm on my 4th fridge, and my first cookware. Figure that!

    If someone is looking for waterless cookware, check e bay. I bought a complete set that looked like new for not much money.

    I have COOK'S ESSENTIALS and love them. My sister had a problem with hers scratching but she has a tendency to use metal -forks etc.

    I have Cutco & Kitchen Craft by Westbend pans. Both are a little pricey but, money well spent.

    I also have an All Clad Chef's Set, plus some extra pieces. I've catered for 25 years, so good cookware is a must. I wouldn't trade my All Clad for anything!

    Money was sort of an object, but DH & I bit the bullet & I got Calphalon cookware. I was tired of getting new pans every few years. I bought these before 1991 when we lived in New Hampshire, so they are at least 21+years old. I bought a basic set & added pans I thought I would use. My favorite is the 8 qt stock pot as I make large batches of spaghetti sauce & this pot is perfect for simmering it all day long!. The only pan I don't really like is a 12" lidded skillet as everything sticks to it. The 2 saute pans I have are fab as they seasoned up great. Instructions don't say you need to do it, but this worked for me well. Even scrambled eggs don't stick. I figure they will be fought over when I'm gone! :-)

    There's an outlet mall up in Michigan, with a Farberware store. About 10 years ago we replaced all our non-stick, except we did buy one frying pan

    i have a set of faberware that is 30 years old and it still looks fairly new. I love it for cooking noodles, sauces, stews, vegetables but I don't like the frying pans - for that I prefer the non-stick.
