Best cookware or set?

[Cratus]

Anyone tried Hex Clad?

This is what hes talking about: https://hexclad.com gordon ramsay pushes it but seems very gimmicky with how hard their ads hit you sometimes. I would like to know if anyone here has first hand experience with those. I'm in market for new pans.

This looks very good. Wife said no...

Seen GR advertising it but curious if it’s any good.

I have family members that have deBuyer and Smithey and they love them. I’m too cheap to buy a set for our house.

I have the smithey farmhouse skillet I love it! I’m in the same boat as others here I’m about to buy a few more PCs and chunk all the non stick stuff. I know it’s ending up in our food. I drug my feet on the Staub sale.

My new purchase will probably be the smithey roaster

Generally speaking, I don’t place much trust in licensed products. I believe it indicates that the product can’t stand on it’s own merits, particularly quality. I believe this is especially true for cookware.

Yes they are. Kind of a heirloom piece I guess. They are much heavier and better finish then most steel.

Stainless steel pots, cast iron pans, and enameled cast iron dutch ovens do 99.99 percent of my stove top cooking. Thick SS pans work fine but you have to use a lot of oil/grease to keep food from sticking.

A thing I really get a lot of utility out of is pots that have lids with built in strainers. I think that’s worth mentioning for your search if you boil lots of pasta, potatoes, rice. Etc..

To your comment regarding the additional amount of grease or oil that using stainless steel demands, this is something I did not know. There are times when I need to add more grease than usual to keep food from sticking, but I’ve always thought this was predicated on the food I’m cooking, rather than the pan I’m using. For example, breakfast potatoes need more grease than other vegetables. I’ll have to pay more attention next time.

Yes. Our cookware is a combination of Staub and Le Creuset

Saladmaster. Awesome stuff.

True, never heard of it until a family member tried to sell us a set. She offered us a 50% discount, and the cost was still going to be over$3,000.00 for a set of cookware. At the risk of upsetting said family member, I passed on it.
