Right now I’m looking for either I think some ceramic cookware or stainless steel cookware, and I’m trying to make it a buy once cry once type of purchase, which would I think lean more towards stainless. I would just like a recommendation of how to compare durability/food safety and whatnot that isn’t paid for via advertising dollars. Even direct recommendations for a brand I can look into are welcome.

Thanks in advance

    I think all clad is severely overrated

    They’re fine pans, don’t get me wrong, almost certainly better than your standard department store celebrity-chef branded pans by Cuisinart or whatever

    But the handles are kind of uncomfortable, and I dislike the rivets through the pan.

    I’m personally a fan of demeyere pans.

      Yeah, as someone with some all-clad, it’s really nothing special. I heard that the handles are geared towards maintaining the ability to prevent twisting of the pan in your hand while using pot holders/towels, and i think they work well for that.
