I have a calphalon stainless steal set and then an all clad frying pan set - LOVE it

like

I should clarify the all clad set is non stick

All clad and scanpan and a go to cast iron are all I use.

All Clad stainless steel

like

+1. Stainless steel is one of the safest cooking materials too

Lodge cast iron; Le Creuset if you want to pay more

like

Le Creuset or Staub if you keep some of your pots out on display/on open shelves, and want to coordinate colors with your kitchen

Le Creuset, All-Clad, Viking, or Staub depending on what you’re looking for

like

I prefer stainless steel - i have a basic set from Cuisenart.

Cast iron is great but it’s kinda high maintenance.

like

Le Creuset. Enameled cast iron is the way to go. It's so much easier to care for and cook with than regular cast iron.

like

Taku cast iron. More expensive than Lodge but way easier to make it non stick.

like

Love my Le Creuset pieces!

like

I really like my always pan from Our Place. I think they just came out with a cast iron too but I haven’t tried that yet.

like

All clad stainless is still the workhorse (buy from the factory seconds sale) - buy cheaper nonsticks and discard as needed.

Le creuset is great but pretty expensive - competitors aren’t that different and you should be baking bread in a combo cooker from lodge anyway

like

Allclad

like

All Clad. I even prefer my nonstick to be all clad as it’s been the only one to be actually nonstick and has lasted 3 years now.

Honestly this is BIFL stuff here. You will pass this cookware down for generations.

All clad stainless - what’s the best way/method to not have things stick on?

like

SVP, check out scanpan. They're awesome nonstick material, not just a non-stick coating (so you don't have to worry about scratching it!)

helpful

Thank you all!

Thank you all for the great answers.

Follow up question, any health concerns around coated vs. non-coated pots? My current pots were coated and dark in color when I got them, all the coatings have chipped off, they're all almost silver now and I'm sure we ate a good amount of it. Is this something to be worried about?
That's why I'm looking for a better quality set.

If you have fat in the pan and the pan is hot, many things won’t stick - and will leave behind a beautiful fond that’s perfect for a pan sauce

like

All clad!

Made In, particularly love the Carbon Steel. You season like cast iron with similar results, but much lighter and faster.

Solid tips or strategies on cutting back on alcohol? My bf & I were moderate drinkers before the pandemic, but over the year I’m fairly confident we’ve become heavy drinkers (6-7days/wk). I’m stressed about it and have mentioned cutting back for a while, but he insists we’re fine. I find it rly difficult to go cold turkey or cut by myself when he’s still drinking as “normal” and we share our living space. We’re aware of all the health risks, but that alone hasn’t changed us.

I need advice from younger 🐠 who are closer to my son’s age than I am. He’s finishing up his 1st year in college and he’s gained the Freshman 15+. He plays a college sport, so he’s getting some activity, but with classes a hybrid of in-person and online, he’s not as active as usual and I think he’s enjoying unlimited food on his dining plan. I’ve heard jokes about the Freshman 15, but not seen how this plays out. Is this common? Do most people lose it when they adjust to college?
