What occasions does one use a stainless, triply type skillet vs. a non-stick

---

i like to use my stainless over non-stick. non-stick usually gets used for eggs and quick things like that. i have a fabulous gas stove and i find that if i have the heat up too high or too long, it messes up the non-stick (i have marks in the bottom from my utensils even though i only use plastic...bc the heat was too high/up too long). i also find the stainless produces a more even heat..on the bottom as well as the sides.

i would recommend the 12 over the 10. i have both and hardly ever use the 10. i would also advise going all out on the pieces you will use the most. i have come to realize that it really does matter. my kids are still small, but i use big pots for most of my dinners...its just easier, imo.
