How to Choose the Best Cookware
The best cookware fits your cooking habits, your go-to recipes, and how often you’re in the kitchen. Begin with a few essentials—like a quality frying pan, saucepan, and stockpot—then add pieces as your needs grow.
Consider these cookware materials:
- Stainless steel – Durable and non-reactive; ideal for browning and everyday cooking
- Non-stick – Easy to clean; great for eggs, pancakes, and low-oil meals
- Cast iron – Excellent heat retention; perfect for searing, baking, and slow cooking
- Ceramic or enameled – Stylish and versatile; great for oven-to-table serving
- Induction – Heats quickly and efficiently on induction cooktops
Also, keep in mind stovetop compatibility (especially if you use induction), dishwasher safety, and oven-safe temperature limits. Look for cookware sets that combine multiple pieces for a cohesive and functional kitchen setup.
