Thanks to all who responded: I've been on vacation and so haven't replied. Including email there have been about 25 separate opinions offered. As I expected, there are a number of differing views on the subject. It has all been very helpful although I am still trying to make sense out of some of it.... There seems to be very little consensus regarding SETS of cookware; although more people prefer the Cuisinart over the Calphalon, there were many different reasons given for the preference. Everyone agrees that there is a (more or less) ideal pan for any given purpose. I have decided to pursue cookware with that philosophy in mind, not buying a set, but buying pans on an individual basis. Again, thanks to all. If anyone would like me to mail them ALL the replies I recieved, let me know by mail and I'll do my best. If you have already asked for this --> it's on the way.
