Many stainless steel cookware are either mixed with aluminum insides, to make the cookware lighter and absorb heat faster, or with copper to help even out the cooking surface. When cooking on a gas range, an aluminum and stainless steel combination is great for allowing the heat to hit the sides of the pan as well as the bottom. For cooking on electric stoves, however, it is best to use a pan or pot with a copper bottom, because electric stoves tend to burn food quicker and easier than gas ranges. The copper bottom helps absorb and disperse the cooking heat, making it a great choice for electric stoves and most home cooking.

The most expensive cookware brands are usually among the best, but not good enough to really be worth the extra price. Probably the best cookware to purchase is the mid range level because it is both durable and inexpensive enough for nearly everyone. A general rule to follow is that the thicker the bottom of the pan, the better quality. Teflon pans have their own rules, because they are not meant to last anyway.
