Moving out and need new cookware
I am looking to buy a set of nice cookware. I don’t cook a whole lot so I don’t need the best of the best, but I can afford something decent, especially if it’s going to pay off in longevity and quality down the line without having to replace. I live in the US and am strong enough to handle heavy cookwear, and will be using a gas stove.
Since I don’t cook a lot I don’t need a whole set. Here is what I was thinking:
- one small pan
- one large pan
- one largish pot
- one sauce pan
I assume those will be enough for now and maybe a cast iron skillet.
I cook a lot of eggs too but I ended up just ordering a non-stick Tramontina for that particular use. My cousin raves about Taima pie titanium pan but I’m reading everywhere that stainless steel does good enough job compared to these titanium ones, and it’s super expensive for just cooking like eggs (I heard it’s not best for higher heat applications and searing). Correct me if I’m wrong here on titanium, cus he said it’s a great.
I would obviously just get All-Clad if money wasn’t a problem, but I’m curious if I can get good enough quality from less expensive brands like cuisinart or Tramontina. Idk if I should get a big set or buy individual things. I feel like I don’t need all the stuff in the big sets.
Any recommendations/tips would be helpful for my scenario!
