With so many cookware on the market today it is hard for consumers to know what cookware in the best. You may have even heard that a Stainless Steel Cookware set is best but do you actually know why? Well, it all boils down to three major factors. Durability, Health benefits and Value for Money.
These pots will last a lifetime with no extra ordinary special care. Stainless steel (SS) does not stain, corrode, or rust . It is not subject to flaking, peeling or wear-off due to rubbing, nor does it rust when scratched.
Cookware Sets
You can put the pots in the dishwasher or scrub with steel wool and year after year these pots will still look new. I've even dropped my pots occasionally and they have endured no dents. There are different grades and surface finishes of this metal which is use to make cookware. The more common references for cookware are 18/0, 18/8 and 18/10. And more recently I am seeing some cookware labeled Surgical Steel.
The numbers represent the ratio or chromium to nickel. Nickel stabilizes the metal and makes it harder. Therefore, the higher the 2nd number, which is the nickel ratio, the harder and heavier the cookware will be. Naturally, a harder and heavier cookware will indeed make a better more durable pot.
Interestingly, a little known fact of stainless steel is that tanks and tankers used to transport orange juice and other foods are often made of stainless steel due to it's corrosion resistance and antibacterial properties. This just goes to show that your stainless steel cookware material is not sloughing off in your food.
This makes for a more healthy alternative, than other types of cookware material.
When buying this kind of Cookware Set, look for the heaviest that you can buy. When I say heavy, I'm not talking cast iron kind of heavy because SS is a much lighter metal. But feel the weight of the different pots or look for 18/10 on the label. Even if you can't afford 18/10, buying any kind of SS pots is much better than buying the other kinds. It will save your health in the long run.
Good stainless steel pots will most likely last a lifetime. My set of stainless steel pots have lasted well over 20 years and I use them almost every day. This is one of the main reasons for my passion for this specific type of cookware.
You can't beat beauty that will last a lifetime. So, if you are considering acquiring new cookware, consider no other than a stainless steel cookware set.

Cyber Monday Rachael Ray Porcelain Enamel Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set, Orange Overview
This cookware set is an exceptional value, including all of the pans needed to equip your kitchen with the most used cooking pieces. As the set contains only basic pieces, you'll really use each and every pan. It includes saucepans for whisking a homemade sauce or cooking your morning oatmeal, a big stockpot for soups, stews or boiling pasta, and skillets (probably the most used pan in any kitchen) that will help you turn out perfect crepes or a simple grilled cheese sandwich. The set also includes a sauté pan, a wide, straight-sided pan that can perform many of the functions of a skillet but features deep sides for extra capacity, perfect for one dish meals. Start your dish in this pan by sautéing onions and browning meat, then add your liquid and other ingredients into the same pan to finish on the stovetop or in the oven.Cyber Monday Rachael Ray Porcelain Enamel Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set, Orange Specifications
Colorful, practical, and comprehensive, this 10-piece cookware set from Rachael Ray covers all the bases for stovetop cooking, from boiling pasta to sautéing chicken to simmering a marinara sauce to frying bacon. The set includes both 1-1/2-quart and 3-quart saucepans, a 6-quart stockpot, and a 2-3/4-quart, 10-inch sauté pan, all with lids. In addition, the set provides an 8-inch skillet and a 10-inch skillet.Constructed in durable aluminum, the pots and pans resist dents and corrosion while conducting heat with efficiency. Porcelain enamel coats the exterior of each piece in the set for broad heat distribution, free of hot spots. A nonstick interior ensures hassle-free cooking and cleaning with all cookware pieces. One long aluminum handle rivets securely to the side of each skillet, the saucepans, and the sauté for transferring food to and from the burner. The long handles each have a hole installed for hanging purposes. For moving the saucepot, two loop-style aluminum handles affix to the pot's sides. Silicone rubber covers all cookware handles for a soft and ergonomically friendly grip. The cookware lids, manufactured in clear tempered glass, allow the chef to visually monitor cooking without releasing heat or flavor. The shatter-proof lids remove with top-mounted handles like those on the stockpot. The cookware sustains oven temperatures up to 400 degrees F. Made in Thailand, Rachael Ray offers a limited lifetime warranty for the set. Upon shipping, the set measures 23 by 13-1/2 by 12-1/3 inches and weighs 19-1/5 pounds. --Jessica Reuling
