What cookware brand do you have?
Rochey:
My non-stick wedding gift 16-year-old saucepan has shit the bed. I looked at all-clad stainless steel, but it’s $120. What do you have and/or recommend?
BonitaApplebum:
I have mostly Calphalon, which has undergone daily use for 15-20 years (depending on the piece) and is now starting to show its age. I'd buy it again, though. I also have some Le Crueset, which is enameled cast iron, and regular cast iron, and both of those should last me forever.
ihop:
I don't have one brand- cast iron, Le Crueset, Cuisineart are my favorite. I do have one other favorite that isn't a name brand - it is heavy and large and fabulous and hand carried by my parents from France many years ago. :D

Nothing is the same brand.
My 8 inch non-stick is Tramontina. My 10 inch non-stick is Cuisinart. My 14 inch non-stick (my favorite) is a Belk store brand. I also have the matching 3 quart (I think it's 3) saucepan. Coincidentally, the lid for that saucepan is a perfect fit for the 8 inch saute pan. I got one of those weird corrugated lids that fits multiple sizes to use with the bigger pans. Probably at Target or WalMart.
I have 2 way old Revere copper bottom saucepans. One has pour spout sides and I tend to use that to boil water for coffee. Neither are non stick so they get used for simple things - water, boiled eggs, canned soup, and that sort of thing. The newer one was bought in 1990.
I have a dutch oven kind of enamel over cast iron thing that is Paula Deen brand. And an enamel over cast iron braiser. I don't use either very often because they are so heavy. But they are good for potluck because they retain heat so well.
I have 2 old corningware casserole dishes probably originally purchased in the late '70s. I don't use them often either.

Ok, cool, that is good to know. I've heard good things about Calphalon and Cuisinart and they're...1/3 the price of all-clad.
