The Tramonia is good stuff.

Tramontina from Walmart is also pretty well regarded and reviewed. I have these, and along with my cast iron, need nothing else. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Tramontina-8-Piece-18-10-Stainless-Steel-Tri-Ply-Clad-Cookware-Set/19581112
I purchased the Tramontina tri-ply set for my wife (back when I was still married) - they are extremely well-made. This cookware is very highly regarded - Cooks Illustrated magazine compares it favorably to All-Clad's tri-ply offering. However, the pots in the set do not have the flared lip which, I have learned from first-hand experience, is a very useful feature.
I purchased this set for myself a couple of years ago: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009JXPS6U/ref=twister_B01FS394DW?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 It also compares favorably with the All-Clad and the Tramontina and all pieces in the set have the flared lip. I like it so much I recently purchased the set as a housewarming gift for an acquaintance of mine.
Whatever you do, if you go SS be sure to get tri-ply cookware. Regular non-tri-ply cookware does not perform anywhere near as well.

If you really want to get stains out, I've been able to get everything out with alternate applications of Easy-Off and Barkeepers Friend. DON'T MIX THEM! Acid and base together will be very evil...

Yup, my process exactly!

Huh? Mixing an acid and a base typically produces a salt and water. Have you not ever used a baking soda solution to clean the corrosion from your car battery terminals?

That's what I do. The BKF works 90% of the time.

Depends on the concentrations, no? You could get heat and nasty spattering. Why take a chance? And I think the corrosion isn't very acidic.

I prefer pots and pans with glass lids so I can see what I'm overcooking and burning.
Re: PSA: Stainless Steel Cookware Recommendation, Possible RYF - N-OS X-tasy! - 01-06-2017
It does indeed. I don't believe the concentrations found in the products under discussion poses a danger.

The Cuisinart tri-ply is available with that option, too, at an even better price: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N428XON/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1
