I am in the market for some new sauce pans and pots with lids.  I want non stick options. Hard to figure out which chemicals for non stick leech and which ones don't.   I have been getting by without a various pieces from older sets that are on their last leg.  I've been doing some research about the best cookware to buy and ummm, sorry but some of it is so expensive.  Can you recommend a brand/type for me to look into?

Thank you in advance!

I use Curtis Stone from HSN.  I have had his cookware for a few years.  I find it to be excellent quality and doesn't scratch.  You can cook on a lower setting also.  I don't recommend his bakeware in the smaller sheets.  They stain and deform in the oven.  The big cookie sheets do well though.

I recommend AllClad stainless. I went through all different brands of cookware for many years. I finally invested in 2 sets of AllClad cookware and couldn't be happier. I don't do non-stick, too dangerous. But I've had my AllClad for about 12 years now and they look brand new. Don't go cheap. You get what you pay for!

I know they are pricy but I would check Williams Sonoma or Sur La Table. I've also gotten good pans from Costco.

I use Green Pans and Green Life Pans. Bought some at Walmart and two from Amazon.

I like Scan Pan from Sur la Table. They're a nice weight and perform well. Ironically, I have a few pieces of Rachel Ray's cookware and I really like them,too. I use the 3 quart steamer 3 or 4 times a week. The base is heavy enough that you can use it as a saucepan without scorching the food. DH just throws it into the dishwasher, but it cleans up very easily by hand, too. I've also got one of her large frying pans that's become my go-to pan for most sautéed dishes. I usually buy new Scan Pan pieces when they're on sale and have seen Rachel Ray's cookware on Zulily.

I'm another Curtis Stone fan. (HSN)

Definitely Green Pans or the less expensive Green Life Pans. Good safety profile, nice non stick that is seriously easy to clean. I've never seen anything quite like it. 👍

I know they're pricey but I love Chantal cookwear. I purchased an induction range and received a set with the purchase. I never would have thought there was sucha difference in cookwear until I had these pots and pans. There are all types for all types of ranges. They also have sales and sets or individual items.
