I'd go for stainless pans and a stainless saute pan which will fit in the oven. These are quite hard for other people to fuck up.
Pro Cook and reasonable value and decent ime:

Think I'll be getting a new set soon - want something that'll give me up to 10 years.
What kind of materials should I be looking at? Gas hob. I'm fighting a losing battle in a household where no one uses the correct utensils for non-stick so my beautiful LC non sticks are all scuffed to fuck and no doubt dosing us with cancerous chemicals. Also fighting a losing battle in a household where people just dunk hot cast iron pans in cold soapy water and scrub them until the rust shows and have no desire to season every week.
What are my options? (Apart from divorce)
I'd like 2 saucepans (one large and deep, 1 smaller saute pan), 2 frying pans (one large, 1 small-medium), also particularly interested in some kind of deep, heavy thing I can use on a hob, in the oven/under a grill and serve on a table. I've got an LC knock-off shallow casserole which is OK but it's that kind of enamelled interior which is awful to use on a hob. I'd also like it to be much deeper.
Budget is whatever's right.
I guess a lock on the cupboard (or just store them high out of reach).
