Ditto on Le Creuset for Dutch Ovens and baking dishes - I have a 9x13 that gets a lot of use & a smaller one too. The two LeCreuset skillets - one nonstick & one cast iron are indestructable & clean up well. The stovetop stuff we have is Calphalon Hard Anodized - also indestructable & conducts heat very well - as does the LeCreuset. I do use the dutch ovens for cooking soups & chili on top of the stove - none of our Calphalon is big enough for that. I do tons of cooking (3 sons) and I've been very pleased with the Calphalon & LeCreuset - like it better than the French Copper pieces we also have. Using the LeCreuset will keep you strong too - it weighs a ton! You have to be careful tho' b/c it conducts heat so well things can scorch easier than other pots & pans.
Go for the good stuff - you'll be happier in the long run & won't ever have to replace it.
