I totally agree with Rudey. If you can afford it Le Creuset is the BEST. Conducts heat well, easy to clean, and good and heavy. Just be careful if you have a glass cooktop, because you can break it.

My husband has a habit of using forks and teaspoons to cook with (his standard meal, when he can't find anything else is eggs)...so my non-stick pans now look like crap, and stuff gets stuck to the places where the teflon is gone. My pans were a wedding gift, and since most people were coming from out of town, we didn't register and told them "no gifts". If I had picked them out myself, we would have gotten stainless.

I prefer my cast iron pans to either non stick or stainless. A well seasoned cast iron pan is the best in my opinion and if they are taken care of correctly, they last forever.

Absolutely!
Cast Iron pans are good, but so few people know how to really season and keep them properly. I just use mine for cornbread.

Yes, Le Crueset's stuff is great. I have a roaster and french oven, but my cast iron pans are inherited from my grandma...they're old and seasoned perfectly and I won't get rid of them until I have to. They're also great to take camping!
ETA: the All-Clad copper core stuff is beautiful - as is any copper cookware - but I'd never buy it because you can't put it in the dishwasher. Stainless can be a pain to clean, so I'd only buy the stuff that can go in the dishwasher.

My boyfriend and I just moved in together and we got a set of the Emerilware. They are actually made by All-Clad. We got the normal stainless steel set and they are good weight and the set comes with a good selection of pots. We also purchased Calphalon One non-stick pans. Right now Bed, Bath and Beyond has them in sets for around $50 I believe. The only thing to remember is you cannot use non-stick spray on them!
Since you probably won't be spending a ton of money, get a good set that will last you and some good non-stick pans.

Awww. True southern girl at heart. I have all 3...cast iron, stainless, and non-stick. My suggestion is to get a good set of stainless , one or two good non-stick, and a couple of cast iron for corn bread...that is if you know how to use them. IF you don't I would stay away from them.
