Reccomendations for pots and pans?
Hi All,
We're looking into buying a new set of pots and pans and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations. Does anyone know if there is a certain kind of cookware that is better suited for gas stoves?
I heard that the Tramontina brand is very good and they have a set with good reviews at Walmart for about $150 (unfortunately it's only in stock online and I hate not being able to see them in person before purchasing but I might be willing to take a chance on this one). http://www.walmart.com/ip/Tramontina-Gourmet-13-Piece-Nonstick-Cookware-Set/19581129?findingMethod=Recommendation:wm:RecentlyViewedItems
Yesterday I also saw this set at Costco--it is their Kirkland brand and had good reviews online, and looked similar to the Tramontina set. It was also the same price. http://www.costco.com/Kirkland-Signature™-Hard-anodized-Aluminum-Cookware-Set.product.11758460.html
Does anyone have experience with these brands or have a pot/pan set that they just love?
Thanks so much for the help!

I love my Bialetti® Aeternum cookware! Red on the outside and white on the inside so they are eye catching. Best non-stick I have owned as well.

Instead of buying one set with all of the matching pots/pans, my husband and I opted to buy a few quality pieces of various materials. We have some stainless steel (with lids) for every day cooking (get something triple layered, or layered with copper or aluminum, and personally, we wanted to avoid nonstick coatings), a few cast iron pieces that we use mainly for meat, we have one enamel coated cast iron skillet (when we need non-stick), and we have one wok. All of our skillets are also oven safe (no plastic bits that will melt).
The cast iron I actually inherited from my grandmother. We kept this in mind when purchasing new items.....we want them to be quality, and long lasting. The initial purchase of buying a few quality pieces with variety is a little more costly than buying a matching set, but I really like having the option of cooking with different materials.
After doing a bunch of research, comparing different cooking materials, that's what we decided to do, but I realize that isn't going to be what everyone wants. Whatever you buy, I hope you enjoy using it!
My tip is to not buy a set. Buy individual pieces you'll use. Make sure you like the handles, the weight...
Alton Brown has a great book about kitchen equipment. He really analyzes each item and gives great recommendations.
I'm partial to stainless lids (NOT glass), but I think that's more of a personal preference thing
