High quality things.

Just another vote for Le Creuset.

Got a full set (6 peices) for our wedding and both the cookware and the marriage are still going strong.

I also inherited a couple of pieces from my folks that outlasted their marriage. These pieces must be more than 40 years old and still in perfect condition.
Incidentally: it seems that the older pieces do not chip as easily as the newer ones. Not a single chip on the old stuff, the newer ones have a few little chips in the paint.

I can also vouch for their service/warranty, I had a housekeeper drop a pan and snap the handle off - LC replaced it without any questions. In fact they gave me some tips on how to care for it a bit better (the patina had gone slightly too thick.) I also dropped a lid and the handle snapped, they gave me a second hand/demo lid from their warehouse.

Healthwise do you think going the organic and free range route is better? Did you notice any difference?

Don't do it for health reason, do it for taste reasons. I'm not a healthy type person, what matter to me is taste and yes I can taste the difference. I buy from a farm in Jozi, went and checked them out first when I realized I needed a change and I was so impressed with their ethics, how the animals look, their veterinary practices, what they were fed and the the taste blew me away. Absolutely the best meat I have found. Not a huge farm but man oh man their quality is brilliant.

The taste of everything from bacon to Biltong is so much better then anything in PnP or Woolies. Price is surprisingly on a par with Woolies because they are small and still making a name for themselves so not forking out more then usual. Which is a perk. Buying directly from the farm and eliminating the middle man has made it cheaper sometimes then just going to the shop. I can't always get there but so still buy from my butchery in a pinch or from Woolies/Spar but without a doubt I could pick their meat out on a braai. Actually did this with hubby to show him the difference. He immediately could see the difference when braaing the meat and when he tasted it there was no going back. Worth finding a reliable farm and buying Organic/free range.

But 'organic' and 'free range' are two totally different issues. Why do you conflate the two?
 
Yes I am aware of that. Either is better than the conventional meats in the shops in general in my opinion. Same goes for dairy and eggs too.
 
Two ply toilet paper. I find myself not fingering my ass when the one ply breaks anymore.
