This hard-anodized aluminum cookware, with brushed steel handles and metal lids, heats evenly. It has a nonstick surface that's extremely slick, making it easy to cook foods like eggs or pancakes without adding any fat. Plus, the finish doesn't stain or discolor from use, so it's easy to maintain (from $59.99 for a 9-inch fry pan to $399.99 for an 8-piece set).
