All clad and cast iron are my faves. tramotina stainless seems great if all clad pricing is unreasonable. We have combo of grandparents cast iron and new lodge cast iron.

What kind of Faberware do you have? I have had mine for 30 years also. What I have works great on my new induction cook top. All that is required for induction is a flat bottom!

We have Tramontina tri-ply clad pots/pans that work very well and are reasonably priced. Some are made in China and some in Brazil. If it's important to you, read the boxes/descriptions closely. What I've found is that Walmart only sells the ones from China; Amazon sells ones from both China and Brazil.

Also look at the construction, get the tri-ply clad, not the tri-ply base. Heat is conducted more evenly with tri-ply clad. [Clad means the base & sides are tri-ply and heat travels up the sides more evenly; base means only the base is tri-ply.]

If you want non-stick "frying" pans, look at Blue Diamond.

We have All-clad but we also love our 2 pots from Ikea. You can always go to TJMaxx/Homegoods, etc too.

I checked the Farberware with a magnet = no-go. Keep the recs coming, please!

Have both All Clad (primary home) and Tramontina at summer home. All Clad is much heavier for my arthritic hands. Enjoying the Tramontina. You can always order and return if you don't like it.

We purchased a Ninja neverstick saute pan to add to our Green Pan set (from Williams Sonoma). We liked it so much we purchased this set from Costco and gave away the much more expensive Green Pan set.

Made-In and anything cast iron (Lodge is a great combo of price & quality for its frying pans).

I have a set of tri ply Henckel's, that I purchased at Costco that I have been very pleased with, the set which was on sale was $150. I also have All-Clad which are wonderful and clean up beautifully, but are more of an investment. I use the All- Clad on a daily basis for the past 15 years, the Henckel are used in a second home for the past 4 years.

I had to replace a few things when we got induction, and we went All-Clad. Williams Sonoma has a sale on it right now. Do you have an outlet mall near you? That's another good place to get it for less. I've picked up some pieces at HomeGoods and HomeSense; just be sure to carry a magnet around with you while you shop.

On our stove, the pans that have a separate material for the bottom buzz more than the ones that are the same material all around.

All-Clad D3 is the version I'd recommend. D5(5 ply) is less responsive. Sign up for the periodic factory seconds sales. Home - homeandcooksales.com D3 Everyday has a more rounded handle some feel is easier to hold. . .Matfer carbon steel fry pans will work.

I second dan1888. All-Clad D3 is great for induction. We got an induction cooktop in our new house, and had planned to get All-Clad D5 bc we've had that for many years (gas stove) and love it. But all the reviews we read said go with D3 for induction bc it's more responsive. You don't need the thicker pans, which work better on gas. We've been really happy with the D3 btw.

Update: I went to Williams-Sonoma this afternoon to see the All-Clad. Holy Moly this stuff is heavy! I could probably deal with that, but I do not like the handles. At all. They are uncomfortable in my hand. There is a Williams-Sonoma brand that is made by Hestan, those were a bit lighter but more importantly the grip was very comfortable.

I see they have a Demeyere set on-line, but none on display at the store. Any comments on Demeyere, particularly the grip?

If you want to see in person, I was going to recommend William Sonoma, Sur la Table and Macys. Also Ikea.

If you think the All Clad is heavy, the Demeyere is much heavier. I have a Demeyere 3 qt pot and a 12" saute pan, and both are VERY heavy.

Update: I went ahead and ordered a Demeyere 10-piece set. Not available in the stores around here, so I had to just take it on faith. I can take it back to Williams-Sonoma if I don't like it. Williams Sonoma had a set on display that might work, it's made by Hestan. It was comfortable in my hand, albeit a bit heavy. But still, if the Demeyere has to be returned, the W.S. might be an option. The All-Clad graphite stuff was lightweight and comfortable, but I can't stomach the price -- the Demeyere is expensive enough...

I have All Clad but also don't like the handles. My favorite is Le Creuset but they are heavy. When I first got induction I had an old set of Revere Ware that I used when I needed an extra pot or pan and since that wasn't going to work I needed to get something relatively inexpensive to replace it. I bought a set of Duxtop on A'zon and ended up liking it better than the All Clad - it has very comfortable handles. Flash forward and I needed induction compatible for a second home. Bought another set of Duxtop and could not be happier.
