My wife was complaining this morning about her frying pan not being any good. Since I'm always looking for gift ideas (she LOVES getting stuff for her home and kitchen!) I thought I'd buy her a good quality frying pan. Can any of the cooks in here recommend a good brand and where to find it? I don't mind spending a little more for one that will last her a long time.

How about Rachel Ray cookware? They sell it at Kohl's - it is pricey. I love Cooks cookware and that is at JCPenney's. Wal-Mart has the Faberware line and that is pretty decent too.

Seriously? Rachel Ray - I think you are only paying for the name when you buy her cookware. Believe me you are paying a lot! I would go with T-Fal.

I just got a Rachel Ray set of cookware. I actually got it through my bank points. But it really doesn't seem any more expensive the some of the others out there. I like the T-Fal but it didn't seem to last very long.

I only use stainless cookware and the set I currently have is Cuisinart. I really like these pots and pans because they can transfer directly from the stove top to the oven which makes them more versatile than a pan that isn't ovenproof.

I am just like Bella but she is one step up on me. I forget the name brand of ours and while it was pricy (and not by some random cook lady on TV) I know it will be lasting for a long while too.

I like the stainless steel pans to but my favorite are the cast iron ones. I've had some nice fry pans for years and a dutch oven that I just couldn't do without!
