Best Stainless Steel Pots Pans

Our moms and grandmas understood the importance of investing in good quality stainless steel cookware. Long before non-stick finishes came on the market, we old timers were cooking successfully in plain stainless steel pans that didn't have today's heavy 3-ply base to distribute the heat... and you can do the same thing too.

Like ycyc said, preheat the pan; and what paulj has alluded to, don't overheat the pan. I learned from a cooking show, and have since read here, about the dancing water method...preheat the pan until a water droplet added to the heated surface beads and dances across the surface, stabilize that temp, then add your oil.

Is your kitchen a paradise where you explore and perfect classic recipes? Or is it more of a jungle, where dinner is come by haphazardly, your salmon filet "blackened" on the outside and sushi on the inside? However you cook, you need some reliable pots and pans.
