I need new cookware

[DawgHouse]

My cookware is shot but that's okay because it's that teflon stuff anyway. I've been doing some research but I just find myself getting more confused. I know some recommend the Calphalon (sp?) but doesn't that have some kind of coating on it? Is it teflon? Do I really need non stick cookware anyway? Maybe it would be okay to have one pan that is non stick for omelets and things like that but I don't really see the need for everything to be non stick.

Price is a consideration but not a major consideration for me. I would gladly pay more for cookware that lasts a good long time and retains it's beauty.

Any recommendations? I cook on a gas stove, if that makes any difference.

Thanks in advance, foodies! :)
