Hello, I have been eyeing up a 10pc set of Lagostina Provence Pro cookware. It has the commercial capsule technology with aluminum inside of stainless steel. Are these pieces any good?? Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks

Re the Lagostina cookware set, make sure that the stainless steel/aluminum sandwich is on the bottom AND up the sides. One way to know for sure: if the bottom looks like a plate and does not curve into the sides but appears almost like a separate part, then it hasn't got the aluminum core through and through.
Be careful about buying cookware sets - you'll probably be paying for some pieces you don't really need, and you might not be getting certain pieces that are essential. Make sure you have a stockpot/dutch oven of at least 8 quarts, a 9 or 10 inch skillet, a 6 inch skillet, and a 5 or 6 qt. saute pan with lid. These are the most essential cookware items.
Personally, I have fallen in love with the Cuisinox products. They give All-Clad a run for their money, at a fraction of the price.
