Does anyone own Ikea cookware? Calphalon is chipping...

We own the cheap Calphalon line of non-stick cookware and the Teflon is starting to chip away, which I noticed yesterday. I immediately stopped using it and threw out I was making (luckily, it wasn't looking tasty anyway-- par for my kitchen skills :)) and then checked my other two saucepans and frying pans. Both are looking kind of battered to the point where I am worried that they'll be in the same place with chipping Teflon soon. I have not been as gentle on them as I should have (particularly with my wire whisk, which I now KNOW I shouldn't have used), and while I know Calphalon would probably replace them, I'd really prefer to have stainless steel/aluminum bottom without non-stick coating.

Since we're not in the market for a whole new set of pots and pans, I am thinking of getting some of the Ikea 365+ pieces (stainless) to tide us over until we can afford a nicer set someday. I just need something for the basics-- cooking pasta, etc., nothing fancy. Has anyone used Ikea's pots or pans? Any recommendations? Or, if you've gone through something similar, any ideas/thoughts on what else, if not Ikea?

    We have several pans from Ikea that I bought before we got married 3 years ago.  Despite getting a really nice stainless steel set as a wedding gift, I still use the Ikea pans.  Two are non-stick and have not chipped.  The other is stainless, and works just as well as the more expensive.  I am not a big cook, though, so I may not know the difference:)

    There's a restaurant supply company up near Needmore Rd.  Wasserman, Wasserton, or Wassersomething.  Restaurant quality is usually good quality at a good price, it's just not shiny or pretty stuff.

    Thanks-- do you know when it'll be up?
