My favorite cooking pot is my beat-up 2 qt. sauce pot. I've had it for 14 years, it's dented, no finish anymore, and the lid doesn't even fit right.

Skillet, a round 14", 2" deep one from Costco.

Utensil: My beloved santoku knife which I protect with my life.

thanks! please be more specific as much as possible ill give 10 points pronto to the person with the best answer… thanks….

boiling: of course you need a pot to put the liquid in. but no utensils

broiling: you need a broiler thingy (i dont know what its called. i think like a pan thing. its like a cookie sheet, but its made for the broiler and it has ridges. i think its called a broiler pan). usually no utensils except something to stir. a spoon maybe

roasting: a deep pan to put the meat into the oven, unless you have skewers to place on an actual roaster rack. usually nothing utensil-wise except something to re-juice the meat. a spoon maybe

baking: it could be a pizza pan, a cookie sheet, a pyrex (glass) dish, a cakepan or whatever. it just depends on what you're baking. utensil-wise, spoon to re-juice the meat if you're cooking meat but usually nothing

pan broiling: a pan

simmering: a pot. when you simmer, you bring whatever you're cooking up to a boil and then reduce the heat to low so it doesnt boil, but it simmers

stewing: a pot

deep fat frying: a deep fryer

sauteing: it could be a big spoon or fork or something to flip whatever you're sauteing

melting: usually nothing. maybe a spoon or something to stir it around and keep it separtated

a steel brush or steel wool will clean it

That’s a good question! I did a lot of research before deciding to break down and spend the money on a Le Crueset vs one of the cheaper knock offs. Best I can tell -1) They are made in France and there is some cost to having those heavy suckers shipped to the US. 2) They’re really well made. Many people who owned them told me they are still in great shape 15 and 20 years later. On the other hand, the knock off’s seem to chip easily and expose the cast iron. The only cheaper brand I found that seemed to be of high qulity was Lodge.

Also, if you decide on a Le Crueset, check the outlet malls or places like TJ Maxx and Tuesday Morning (that’s where I got mine and I didn’t pay full price. I’m very happy with it!

I want to invest in a cookware set that's going to be durable and last a few years.l see the professionals use the stainless steel but never used it.I want to know the best set for the money and easy to keep clean. I have read all kinds of reviews but am still confused. Please help!
I really like the stainless look, and glass lids!

I agree with sugarpie. I like to mix and match to get the exact pieces I want.

The best cost is no object is Le Crusset, Staub, All Clad or Cuisinart Multiclad.

The best pans are going to be porcelin coated cast iron, annodized alluminum or multilayer stainless steel. I have Le Crusset pots, and MOSTLY Cuisinarts budget line called "chef's classic". I recommend two nonstick pans an 8 and 12 inch for all those things we cook but dont want to do alot of clean up on. Get good ones not cheap ones, but don't consider them an investment like your other pots and pans. A good nonstick will last 3-4 years.

There are some surprisingly good buys. Lodge Logic enamel is awesome, .The wolfgang puck the other person mentioned is excellent although I prefer the kirkland brand from costco, they are more ergonomic.

Tramontina stainless is real very good value but their nonstick isn't so good and of course the new Farberware and Revereware and kitchenaid are great vlaues.

Wagner was once made in Sidney, Ohio.
I read where the foundry went bankrupt.
I still have some of their cast iron and use it frequently. I think it is/was some of the best made.

I doubt if you will find any "true" Wagner cookware anymore…..I am always looking….

Lodge brand would be your next best brand…Made In the USA……be on the lookout for cheap made IN CHINA junk…..its everywhere…….Go Lodge….they have a website too.
