There are so many kinds of cookware out there- for example iron pans, aluminum, stainless steel. I'm looking for something that's going to last me and not going to chip when i cook on it nor stick. Can anyone help me?????????

scanpan is world famous w/ people who really cook — it's pricy, not "in fashion" & is supposed to last forever w/ lifetime warranty. go to scanpan.com & other sites for competitive pricing…the nonstick is so good you can use metal utensils, etc. sometimes it's for sale on ebay…you can get a set or by the piece.

I’m looking to purchase some really good cookware that I don’t have to replace for a while. I’m tired of buying so-called “premium” cookware only to have it last a year or so and be worthless later. Even from “upscale” stores. Any you can recommend?

So I am really hard on my cookware and for our wedding we got the greatest cookware ever! It’s by Calphalon. A set of it was like 500 bucks but it can stand up to my abuse. It is dishwasher safe too! Seriously, my mom bought some after she saw how well it stands up to me. We’ve had it almost 2 years now, and it still is like brand new. Here it is

I'm looking to purchase some new pots and pans and unfortuantly I don't have a lot to spend on them, and I don't want crappy cookware. What I am wanting is something that is non-stick and dishwasher safe. Any recommendations?

We are looking to buy some new cookware but want to stay away from Teflon. I'm not a big fan of stainless steel either, so maybe ceramic?

I love my stainless steel cookware. Nothing sears like it, and it's the only thing to use for high heat cooking. But my pans are starting to look like pretty bad. I've used Brillo pads on them and it's gotten a lot (but not all) of the burnt black off, but now I have discoloration and white blotches.

I know I can't restore these pans to looking like new; I just need to know the proper care. How clean exactly should I expect them to get?

Don't put a pan away unless all of the grease has been removed from the sides and outside of the pan (my husband doesn't see the necessity of this, so he gets out of pan washing.) After the next cooking use, you will have those gummy plastic stains.

Nothing works like a Mr Clean Magic Eraser for the stubborn remaining burnt marks.

The white spots may be happening because you are salting your food too soon. Wait until the food starts to cook or boil to avoid "pitting".

NEVER let the water "boil out" to a dry pan. The mineral residue is very hard to remove. You can try CLR, but you'd better wear gloves and really wash that pot thoroughly after you use the CLR.

Using a burner that is too big for your pot wastes energy and discolors the sides. I haven't found a cure for that yet.

Hello,

I picked up some cheap plastic cooking utensils from Walmart and the tips are melting whenever I cook. I have mostly stainless steel pots/pans with a few nonstick pans. I'm trying to find a good quality cooking utensil set that's not stainless steel but I'm having a hard time finding one.

Any recommendations? It doesn't have to be plastic.

Hello to you too! My top pick is my Rubbermaid Spatula, it's heat resistant up to 450 degrees, I also recommend Kitchen Aid, but be wary of the knock offs that are out there. The real ones are heavier in weight, have comfortable strong handles and are very plexible. I also found some cheaper ones at Target called ChefMate and they are heat resistant also,up to 400 degrees. I hope this helps you out to find what's best for you, without breaking your wallet! Happy Sunday to you!
