I would just invest in a few quality pieces and avoid a whole set. Most meals can be cooked with a Le Creuset dutch oven, a cephalon/allclad skillet, and a cast iron skillet.

This is the best advice you'll get. You really limit yourself with a set and end up with several pieces you'd otherwise never buy and won't use.

Define what you need (based on what you cook), do your homework and try to get the best deal possible on what you need.

And make sure to get a good nonstick saute pan. No kitchen should be without one...but don't pay too much for it because you will have to replace it from time to time.

I agree with this.

I have a Le Creuset braiser, that I just bought. They don't come cheap, but is awesome. The ceramic coating is virtually non stick and you can do anything in it from grilled cheese to collared greens. I'll probably get a cast iron skillet and dutch oven in this eventually, to replace what I already have.

I have a couple Cephalon non stick pans. They are very good and go on sale a lot. I'd recommend them.
