I would recommend getting a set of stainless tri-ply 18/10, then a 2-pack of cheap non-stick pans for eggs and fish.

There's a Tramontina tri-ply set that they sell at WalMart in the states that has always been well reviewed to perform close to all-clad but at a fraction of the price.

I've had my set for 6 or 7 years now. They still look great and gets regular use.

So there you have it. While the Tramontina actually edges out the All-Clad as far as heat retention goes, the All-Clad is an all-around better performer. But is it worth paying three times as much for it? Not a chance. Only by using controlled quantitative tests could I find any difference at all in how the pans perform. Even then, the differences were minimal. If money is absolutely no object, go ahead and buy the All-Clad. For the rest of us, the Tramontina set should do just fine.
