Pots/pans sent for your registry?

Is anyone registering for a new pots/pans set? FI & I got a few Target gift cards between the two of us for Christmas and I think we're going to pick out a new set now instead of adding a spendy item like that to the registry. The cookware we use now is a hodgepodge mix of things, some of which I've had since college, and they don't sit level on our flat top stove anymore.

I've read that the copper-bottom pots wouldn't be a good choice but beyond that I'm not sure what to go with. I really like stainless steel but am worried about how it will be to clean.

Thoughts?

    I don't know if this helps or not - but the FI and I decided on not buying ANYTHING for our home until after the wedding.

    You never know what people would buy, what gift cards you will get etc - and that way you don't end up getting something you just bought or a gift card to a place that you would use for pots and pans etc.

    A friend of mine told me this is what her and her husband did and she was glad she did. Not sure if this helps or not.

    Now if you are asking about which type of pots/pans to get - Ive never had a problem with my stainless steel ones. I use "Bar Keepers Friend" (a cleaning powder that I get at the grocery store) if there ever really is a tough spot to clean.

    We registered for pots & pans at target. I think they are the non stick ones. If you go to Target's registry thing, just type in my name, they will show up.

    FI and I wanted non-stick (I don't have the patience for cleaning stainless steel) and decided to go with the Cuisinart Green Gourmet set (clicky) because it's PTFE and PFOA-free.

    We use stainless steel now, but only have 3 pots/pans total.  Hilariously enough, I was worried about cooking on stainless steel until I checked my pots out--turned out that was what we had been cooking with all along, lol.  So we are staying with SS.  I don't find them any more difficult to clean honestly and you can use metal utensils on them.

    This is the set we registered for:  http://www1.macys.com/shop/registry/wedding/product/calphalon-cookware-tri-ply-stainless-steel-13-piece-set?ID=468730&CategoryID=7552

    If you don't want a large set or want just a certain few, you could always register for the pieces separately so that they aren't so expensive to your guests!

    We are also waiting to buy anything we need for the house until after the wedidng unless we absolutely need it!

    I registered for this set from Bed, Bath and Beyond:


    My mom has only even owned Calphalon as long as I can remember and they last for YEARS.  They are awesome quality!  HTH!

    I love to cook so I made sure I wanted a quality set of pots and pans. All-Clad is def the best but a little pricey so I went with the Calphalon 13 piece Try Ply. It is stainless steel. I currently use stainless steel and it may be a little bit harder to clean but just get a brillo pad and it will come on out. I use a little more oil too when I cook in a pan to reduce any grease stains. Overall, it is supposed to cook your food more evenly and better. I have noticed a difference from previously using non stainless steel.
