I need a new set of cookware. Any suggestions on what's the best out there would be greatly appreciated
I use stainless steel for saucepans and dutch ovens, and ceramic non-stick pans for frying and sauteing. Don't go cheap! Get them with a thick copper base for good heat distribution and riveted handles for safety. Stay away from aluminum.
Townecraft! Best investment with a lifetime warranty and you can stack cook with it!
Quality cookware will always enhance one's culinary abilities.
Sometimes one has to adapt to the situation.
On one occasion I didn't have a wok available and found a Dutch oven can substitute nicely.
Plenty of capacity and the high sides contain a vigorous action.
Bon Appetite.
Jeffrey Dahmer was a fan of the non-stick pots, pans and roasting dishes. I'd go with non-stick.

Uncoated cast iron, one of each; Dutch Oven with a lid, 10 to 12 inch deep skillet, 6 to 9 inch skillet, and possibly a grill that fits over two burners. Do not use uncoated cast iron for tomato dishes.
Good quality non stick skillets one each; 10 to 12 inch and 6 to 9 inch. If you cook tomatoes or tomato sauces get a good non stick Dutch Oven.
If most of you cooking is for 6 or less you can buy the smaller sizes. If it is often more than 6 get the lRger sizes.
We have and use a lot of cast iron from a 6 inch skillet to a # 20 (14 Gallons) pot, it will hold enough to cook 130, 12 oz bowls of Jambalaya.
