Another cooking question

I was watching Home Made Simple the other day and they made a pork tenderloin using a larger stainless steel pan. They seared the tenderloin and sauteed the veggies on the stovetop, then put the whole thing in the oven.

I now have a burning desire for one of these pans but don't know how to shop for one. Is all stainless steel cookware oven safe? Is all stainless steel created equally? Like, do I have to buy All-Clad or would the Calphalon SS do just fine?

    When I was looking for new pots and pans, I made sure they were oven safe as well.  I don't know if all SS can go in the oven, but mine can and they are not super fancy All Clad.

    What brand did you go with? Did you end up buying an entire set or just doing a few pieces? I have some teflon pans that I want to replace with SS but I am not sure I want to replace my entire set. Well, I want to but I know it's not necessary.

    I have three All-Clad saute pans, but my saucepans are a cheaper stainless (I think they're Revereware).  The All-Clad are expensive, but I use them all the time, and they're easy to clean.

    I cannot remember exactly, but I think they're Calaphon?  I needed to replace all of my old pots and pans, so I bought a set.  I spent a chunk of time reading reviews on Amazon in order to pick a set that wasn't ridiculously expensive but would get the job done.  A few of the reviewers basically said it was the best you could get for the money if you couldn't afford the fancy All Clad stuff.

    I'm so glad you did all that research so that I don't have to.

    So, is Calaphon the starter home to All-Clad's forever home? I'd be happy with that.

    My main pan is a Calphalon.  It's heavy weight and all metal (so oven safe). I love it.  I also love iron cookware for stove top to oven cooking and it is inexpensive.

    Thanks for the reminder, Fallin. I do like cast iron, but only the smaller pans. Anything too big gets heavy and I have to lift it with 2 hands. For some reason, that always irritates me.
