Aspasia Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 ...what kind do you have? I'm ready for cookware that I love. We're thinking of going with the Kirkland stainless steel set, because we love pretty much anything Kirkland. But we're open to other possibilities.

Ellie Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 We have waterless cookware. Ours is from Amway, but I know people who have waterless from other manufacturers and they love theirs, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 We have Saladmaster. The set is 22 years old now and still going strong. We have had to get a handle replaced once and also the cord attachment on the electric skillet - both were no charge. It is not light-weight and pricy, but I expect to get another twenty years out of it easily. It gets used daily around here and has held up beautifully.

Belacqua Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Cast iron (Lodge is good, but so are plenty of others) for lots of things. Old Calphalon, not non-stick, for saucepans and one small saute pan. Currently loving Belgique saute pans (again, not non-stick). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I have the Rachael Ray cookware (hard anodized, w/the orange handles). I really like it. I wanted something not too heavy and dishwasher safe because the kids like to cook, and they are usually the dish doers. Although I'll bet that you can get a great deal on Paula Deen cookware now since I heard some stores are phasing it out. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bang!Zoom! Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Favorite? Thrift store Revereware with the copper bottoms. Investment? All Clad. Off the shelf? Wearever from Walmart (non stick) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cafdog Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I have the All-Clad Stainless pans and love them! They last forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyMommy Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I actually have a Kirkland Stainless set that I love. I got it maybe 5 years ago or so for Christmas and it's held up well. My only complaint is that I wish it had see through lids, it's hard to tell if water is boiling or something with the solid lids, but they may have changed that by now, and it's not hard to live with.

********* Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 My inlaws got me this set of Food Network stainless steel a few years ago for Christmas. I love it very much. And Oh.My.Goodness, I had no *idea* how much it cost them until I just now googled it. Good grief, I know I've thanked them several times for it, but I'm going to have to mention it again. My word. I'd NEVER be able to bring myself to buy something that expensive! Ahem. Wow. Anyway... In addition to that, I have a Lodge 12" cast iron pan, a Lodge 8 inch cast iron pan, and a Lodge griddle/grill pan. Between those and the stainless steel set, I feel very well equipped.

Tap Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I have Kirkland and All Clad at home and Revere ware in the cabin. I like all 3. I really don't notice a big difference between the All Clad and my Kirkland other than the price. When I am at the cabin, I am completely fine cooking on the Revere ware but I grew up cooking on it, so it is just one of those things I don't have to think about. I just remembered that my GO TO skillet, is Tramontina but it is the highest quality they make and cost about $40 8 or so years ago (high price for that brand then). I do not notice a difference between it and my larger All Clad, and since I use it more often, I think I actually like it better. SHHHHHHH :o Like someone else said I do wish it had clear lids, but seriously it isn't a big deal without them either. ETA: I cook from scratch but not fancy foods. If I was really into cooking specialty sauces or candies maybe I would find the All Clad better, but for basic down home cooking, the Kirkland works great. I cook on a glass top stove so maybe a gas stove would be different too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I have mostly Revere Ware for pots, and cast iron frying pans (no idea what brand). These are what I use 90% of the time and I am very happy with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Baking-Pampered Chef Stoneware. I am a stoneware junkie. Love it, love it, love it. Stovetop-I have a couple of favorites. My cast iron dutch oven and a really large pan that I got at costco but I can't remember the brand. It is non-stick and has a glass lid. For everyday pasta/sauce pans I have the Farberware from when I got married a couple of decades ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldskool Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Lodge cast iron. Will not cook without it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Cast iron, mostly Lodge, one or two pieces that are Bass Pro's generic brand (and no different from the Lodge, except in price). Love it, especially the dutch oven and the 15" skillet! For stainless stock pots and sauce pots, my Revere and Farberware pots are 15 years old and going strong. And for baking, I do like my Pyrex and Corelle casserole dishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
