Looking for New Cookware - Recommendations?

[Glamourcat]

Before adopting my CAG I had nothing but non-stick cookware and bake ware. After adopting my CAG, I've used nothing but stainless steal cookware I stole from my mom's house last time I was there. She'd like her 12 and 8 inch skillets back. Rubber handles or no rubber handles? It's hard to know exactly where manufacturers sneak in PTFE and PFOA. I also need to replace all my bake-ware now too. All my cookie sheets were non-stick. I need to pick up a new set but I'm not sure what to get. Anyone have particularly good sets they're fond of?
Also, I have a set of Corningware baking dishes. Those white porcelain ones. Actually, this is the set I have: Amazon.com: CorningWare French White 7-Piece Bake and Serve Set: Home & Kitchen Are those safe to use? I'm assuming I don't need to glassware.
Paulie's cage is in the living room, but our condo has a great-room set up where the living room has no divider between the dinning area and then the kitchen is also attached. She's as far away as possible from the kitchen.
Any advice or recommendations would be appreciated!

CorningWare is perfectly safe to use. I have a set of wolfgang puck SS pans. I love them! I also have some cast iron pans that I really like. Cast iron once it is well seasoned is almost as really good at being nonstick. If you are going to get SS dont buy cheap. Look for ones that have a layered bottom with aluminum or copper.
