myself, so I have tried and used just about everything out there. My favorites that I have kept and used and replaced with the same thing when necessary include:

2 cast iron skillets, large and small
2 cast iron griddles, large and small
5 heavy duty stainless steel pots of various sizes, including 2 old Revere wear pieces, 1 large and 1 medium
1 Le Creuset enameled wok (a gift)
10 piece set of Corning Ware baking dishes, small, medium and large, some with Pyrex lids
1 cast aluminum Nordic Wear baking sheet (half sheet size)
1 large oval shaped Crock pot insert with Pyrex lid (from a Crock pot that quit working, I use it in the oven)
2 Crock pots, small and medium

The cast iron is great for frying and pancakes. The stainless steel all have very heavy bottoms and are great for soups, stews, and pasta dishes. The Corning Ware and Revere Wear I collected from various second-hand stores. The small Corning Wear pieces are great for heating leftovers in the oven, and the larger pieces are great for casseroles, biscuits, brownies, etc. These are what I use the most.
