One very awesome advantage of stainless steel cookware over other kinds is that the metal does not leech into your food.    A good stainless steel cookware can last for generations if properly cared for.  And the great news is that is does not require much maintenance. 

Some basics of care are not to drop your pots on a hard floor surface such as concrete or hard tiles.  If you have a mirror finish, be careful not to use abrasive cleaners which would scratch the beautiful mirror shine. 

In order to get a good quality stainless steel cookware set buy a known brand since brand name producers are often reluctant to associate with an inferior product.  Quality manufacturers want consumers to know and respect their brand.
