We actually have mostly Calphalon Professional Hard-Anodized aluminum cookware. Hard-anodized aluminum provides fast and even heat distribution when cooking.

Then we added some pieces of non-stick for ease of cleaning and healthy cooking options.

The Titanium line of non-stick cookware by Anolon is fantastic. Watch out for Calphalon's non-stick though - we got one pan from their Simply Non-stick line and after a short-time the non-stick was no longer non-stick.

All-Clad also is a good brand for pots and pans.

Stainless steel - I am not a big fan of non-stick they are good for a short while but after 2 years or so the non-stick is gone

Stainless (love my Farberware!!) & 1 nonstick for eggs (but as already said,it is something that needs to be replaced occassionally).

Stainless .. don't like non-stick because I don't like the chemical coating .. and hate the idea of worrying about chips coming off if it should get scratched .. also .. I've heard/read about when non-stick gets too hot, it emits some kind of toxic vapor.

Most importantly .. I think the food I cook tastes better from stainless.

This is pretty much the set I have: (it's Royal Prestige .. well worth the money, in my opinion).
