What is a good product that will cook well, not warp, and not destroy the range top?

I use all of the regular pans I have had for years and a few new ones coated with stuff. They all work just fine.
You will need to remember that it takes a few seconds for the heat to hit and it stays hot after you turn it down or off. That said, please don't be afraid of your smooth cooktop. I clean spills off of it with a Brillo pad and it has never scratched. I wash the ordinary grease spatters off with a wet cloth using a solution of dishwashing soap...It keeps it sparkling for things that don't get cooked on. I don't think that you need to worry about destroying the range top. I cook every day and my cook top is ten years old and looks great and is not marred.
