Stainless Steel is the only way to cook.  I have replaced all my cookware with stainless steel, all but once piece from Cuisinart. I do not care how it looks on the inside (although is is clean), and I polish the outside with white vinegar. I NEVER use a scrubby on the outside. Stainless steel can be heavy, so the handle is a great design feature. Use it: with a pot holder.
