I just got a new set of stainless steel pots and pans. Are there certain dishes that should NOT be cooked in them? Any secrets that anyone wants to share about using this new cookware? I've always had non stick pans. I already learned that you need to cook at a lower cooking temperature than nonstick or cast iron. Those pans get REALLY HOT!! Thanks in advance for anyone's help!!

We'd like to purchase a complete cast iron (Lodge) outdoor cookware set for a large family of 8 that does a lot of camping/outdoor adventures yet can't afford this themselves... I'm not sure exactly what they would need. With so many, would they need a couple of different sizes of skillet and/or dutch oven? Etc.. ??

I am looking to buy some cookware. I want it to be long-lasting and great quality, but I am not sure where to start. I heard that Kitchen Aid, T-Fal, and Faberware has great cookware but even if this is so, I am not sure rather I should get stainless steel, copper, hard anodized, cast iron, or whatever else is availble. Does anyone have any recommendations?
I heard that caphalon was decent too. I need something that is dishwasher safe.
