I had always thought Lagastina (sp) was the best cookware ever out there! That is until about 5 years ago my mom introduced me to Panderno Cookware. They have EVERYTHING. From knives, baking sheets, pots and pans of every kind imaginable to large utensils. They are the best for wear and tear....I have a three year old who has literally beaten the crap out of these post and pans and there is not one single dent. They are esay to clean and dishwasher friendly. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is thinking about replacing their cookware!!
