CSN stores, the wonderful online store that sells everything from modern bedding to kids' toys to kitchen accessories has generously offered to let me review one of their items again. I would really like to either buy some skillets or pots and pans to enable me to cook a little faster during freezer cooking days. (As it is now, I only have two pans that are large enough for freezer cooking; I have to stop several times during the day to wash them.)
I am looking at these Rachael Ray skillets. We have tried stainless steel in the past, but I don't like how much oil I have to use to keep the food from sticking. We are also trying to move away from Teflon.
I would love to know, do you have a favorite brand of pots, pans and skillets? I would love some recommendations.

I like the Calphalon cookware the best. I have a huge set of Cuisinart cookware currently but the Teflon has flaked off in a short amount of time and that made me not like it. I have 2 Calphalon skillets with coating and they have held up marvelously and cook evenly.
We just have a hodge-podge collection of hand-me-downs so I don't have any recommendations, sorry!
I haven't tried them, but I've heard great things about the Rachel Ray line.
I'd love to get away from Teflon too, so let us know what you end up with.

I LOVE my Rachael Ray pans! I got them at Costco last year (2009) for Mother's Day (yes, I bought my own present LOL). The set I bought was the 10-piece hard anodized set (http://www.csnstores.com/Rachael-Ray-80655-RRY1033.html?cv=) on the CNS site but I paid a LOT less at Costco. I think it was a touch over $100 there. I also have a big oval RR deep skillet that I love, but it's frankly a little big for my stove so I don't use it as often as I thought I would. I use the 3 Qt covered saute pan a lot. It's a good size for my family of 4.
My mom swears by the brand GreenPans....sold on HSN and sponsored by Chef Todd English. I can't afford the ( lol) but I plan to save up for them!!!
