I got some Tramontina Tri-Ply stainless steel pots and pans from Costco after realizing that my old copper bottom revere ware stuff was discoloring the ceramic top on my stove. It takes a while to heat them up properly but once you get them up to temp and put a little oil on them they resist sticking pretty well. I think they also make quality non-stick stuff. We also have some cast iron pans and a ceramic glazed Dutch oven. The one cast iron I use the most is an old Griswold that a friend reconditioned. It's pretty close to the newer stainless steel pans in stick resistance if taken care of well. Kills me when someone puts it in the dishwasher.
