Haha, and your posts make me want to get a dutch oven

I didn't realize the Lagostina set doesn't really come with a fry pan; looking closer at it, although it's a 13 pc set there's a few fairly redundant or rarely used items in that kit imho. I think besides a dutch oven, the Tramontina set covers a lot of ground.

And also +1 on the non-stick; I consider non-stick stuff disposable compared to a good stainless steel cookware sets. Just buy a cheap 10" and use it for eggs and particularly sticky items and replace with new ones once the non-stick wears out.

Lastly re: knives, instead of buying a whole knife set, spend that same amount on a good Chef's Knife and paring knife; those two will accomplish 90% of your work.
