What type of cookware to buy?

Fri, 23 Jul 2010 10:15:46 +0000

I am trying to decide what kind of cookware set to buy. I don't want to spend a lot (no more than 0, at most) and it doesn't have to be the best, but I want a decent set that will last. I am looking at a KitchenAid Gourmet Reserved set for 9.99 (ceramic and aluminum) at amazon but I am clueless about what I really need. I cook often and I have an electric stove. Any advice is greatly appreciated!!

In your opinion what is the best brand of cookware?

I need a new set of cookware, (skillets & cookers). I don't like aluminum and I want something that doesn't have the teflon coating. In your opinion, what's the best for non-stick cooking?

Stainless Steel Cookware- Does it burn easily?

I am planning to buy a 10pc stainless steel cookware.

Here is the description: This set is constructed of stainless steel with a triple-ply capsuled bottom, tempered glass lids, bakelite handles, and standard gage. The triple-ply consists of two stainless steel plates with a thick core of aluminum to conduct heat.

So with a thick core of aluminum will it be better in terms of not burnings easily. This is what I have heard of stainless steel cookware. Also is it easy to clean stainless steel.

Thanks and Regards

Does anyone know of a website where I can have a piece of antique cookware identified?

I found an aluminum skillet with a hinged lid decorated with oak leaves and acorns. I'm not even sure it's cookware--could be a bedwarmer? Anyway, info or sites appreciated.

What is the best cookware for non-stick cooking without teflon?

I'm considering purchasing a durable cookware set and want the benefits of non-stick cooking but don't want to use teflon. Some options I've looked at are anodized aluminum versus stainless steel or copper bottoms. Any suggestions?

Is it really unhealthy to use aluminum cookware? What should you use instead – cast iron?

Someone told me that aluminum cookware can ultimately contribute to dementia. That sounds a little extreme and I don't know if it's true (hopefully not because I've been using that kind of cookware since 1990...)

But if you go with an alternative, should it be teflon coated? Old fashioned cast iron cookware? What (if anything) would be a healthier option?
