I started to notice that my 'high-end' non-stick was losing it's non-stick ability which made me wonder what was going into my food. I do it piecemeal. One piece at a time, and on sale AND with 20% off coupons from Bed Bath and Beyond or an outlet. This past year I have fallen in LOVE with cast iron and have gotten some of those pieces. I cook with those more than my stainless, my husband is just getting the hang of it. But cast iron is inexpensive and easy to maintain. We made the switch as well a few years ago.

Garden PDX - you certainly have a jump on me, making the switch, but PureMothers has some great recommendations. PureMothers - thanks for the great recommendations! And yes! Thanksgiving will be the perfect time to drop some hints! Lisa - great switch! Karen & Jessica – like you, our change will have to be gradual!

We prefer Le Creuset - but they can be pricey. Martha Stewart has a similar cast iron/enameled collection for very reasonable prices (sold through Macy's). Williams-Sonoma has a line called Gold Touch that uses ceramic non-stick technology (non-toxic) and they are awesome! I have one mini muffin pan and I just ordered a bunch more to be shipped to me in London. They have cookie sheets and jelly roll pans too! Those were the most difficult to find replacements for. These will last a very long time, so I think they are worth the price. In order to slowly change out your collection, tip off family and friends what you are wanting to do and perhaps you'll get a non-toxic cookie sheet to bake Santa's cookies on! .-= PureMothers´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.puremothers.com/?p=1459" rel="nofollow">Can Environmentalism Go Too Far?</a> =-.

Making the switch on the stovetop is surprisingly easy, just get your pan hot and use a little extra oil (it doesn't need a lot). Finding good stainless baking sheets is more difficult, most of the heavy ones have a nonstick coating. We made the switch mostly to stainless about two years ago.
