For short-cut buying guides, first, look for 18/10 ratio (chromium/nickel ratio), which tells how good of your stainless steel cookware. Then, see the base or core. If you find the best, keep in mind that quality stainless cookware includes aluminum, copper or both inside, for superior heat distributions and less hot spots.
