Best Cookware

[Mobetter]

Since y'all set me right with the jump box thingee, I got another question bugging me.

What is the BEST cookware set?

I don't mean best value.

I mean effin' Gucci baller big dog status pots and pans.

The stuff Toof doc burns omelets in, sort of thing.

EDIT: Nothing with rubber handles you can't put in the oven. Highstrung would call that "tacky".

Pampered chef

[MKW]

All-Clad or Viking and Field Co Cast Iron for skillets.

[wskinner]

Williams and Sonoma has all the Gucci pots you could want.

I have All Clad. It’s pretty heavy duty.

I like the sound of "Viking" cookware a lot better than "Pampered Chef".

[Highstrung]

All Clad

I'm going to make a list of my favorite things

[Highstrung]

And buy a new cheap non stick pan every six months to a year

All Clad and good, old, heavy, well used cast iron is all a man needs.

Until your kids start experimenting.. Mo's is getting there.. I have three, one is capable of making a few things, but at the beginning a few pans went through hell trying to perfect eggs sunnyside. My boy put Ramen noodles the other day in the microwave for like two minutes, but omitted the water.

Le Creuset stuff is pretty awesome. Pricy, but awesome.

All-Clad for stainless, butter pat cast iron

[Highstrung]

I have some of it, Staub is nice. My wife started buying me that for tangible presents.. I own enough non enameled cast iron.

Yea, I've got a not-cheap non-stick right now that's a couple years old and it's about done.

Which All Clad series? I bat about .700 on stainless cookware. Usually I can keep it from sticking... But when it does stick it's friggin awful.

Got a few Staub Dutch ovens- they are legit

[Highstrung]

I've always gone towards copper bottoms.. most of it is cool though. There's no need to really go overboard, I don't do non-stick sets though, so all stainless. To me I can get by with about anything decent stainless and a gas range, everything else is like camping.

That's my backyard chanterelle sauteing pan.

[Foie Gras]

All Clad and Smithey for cast iron. I use a Smithey farmhouse pan for dang near everything that will fit in these days. Including eggs.

[Jozie & Me]

A few Griswold and Wagner cast iron skillets. A couple of Wagner Dutch ovens and loaf pans

Wife has a nice small collection of antique Corning Ware baking and casserole dishes.

haven't run across anything we cant cook yet.

We got my wife's aunt a Smithey for Christmas last year. She loves it. They ain't cheap, though.
