Big All-Clad fan. I like their sauciers instead of small pots. I like their large chef pan instead of medium stock pot. And a very tall stock pot for seafood and other needs. Their skillets are solid but cast iron is good for skillets post fond. I think Made In makes a good ceramic skillet for eggs, to be used with a good silicon spatula.

All-clad is solid. Is there concern with cast iron though? @Great Ghee
