Is the Giada De Laurentiis cookware any good?

I really don't like her as a person nor a cook.

However, I am wondering if her new cookware that you get from Target is any good? It looks ok and the pricing seems to be decent.

Will this last a long time? Is it actually made by a known company? Or is this Chinese junk?

What is the best kind of cookware?

My husband and I are looking into buying some new cookware. The cookware we have now is starting to peel and isn't holding up very well (the current cookware we have we've only had it for 3 yrs).

Were looking for some cookware that will hold up nicely and last a long time. I cook alot (basically every night).

So my question is what is the best kind of cookware?

Which is better, copper or cast iron cookware?

Leaving out price and maintenance, and considering only performance, copper has similar heat retention to cast iron cookware and can be bought at similar weights and thicknesses. Not only that, it has incredible heat conduction as well. So you have cookware that has superior heat conduction, excellent heat retention, doesn't have to be seasoned, and last a long time. Why do people still buy cast iron? Is there something about cast iron that is better than copper?
Well from research, since copper has superior conduction and is sold thick and heavy, it has even more superior even heating than cast iron. It can also be lined with stainless steel to make it last forever. I am talking purely of performance here, not maintenance or price.
