Find the best stainless all clad on sale you can find. The one mentioned from Wal-Mart seems to be a good bargain but have never used it.
For fry pans nothing is better then the plain old cast iron skillets available at any hardware store. ACE has them for $10 to $20 depending on size. They are cheap and when properly seasoned and used work as well as any non stick pan available. They also go from stove top to oven with no issues. They hold the heat very even across the entire cooking surface. I have several sizes and hardly ever cook anything without them.
Perfect 2 inch thick steaks or fillets are a very hot cast iron skillet with no oil seared for 5 minutes, 5 minutes in a 400 degree oven and removed for 5 minutes to rest. Always cooked perfect and rare. Change the oven time to 7 minutes for medium rare and 9 minutes for medium.
