Hope its worth more than ya mama's stank ass pussy

What isn’t tho

pans are a meme

>>13772884

I have two All-Clad pans and one Hammer Stahl which is comprable. I like them. Kenji says Tramontina is 90% of the quality for a small fraction of the price. If any Tramontina folks are around I'd be curious to hear your experiences.

I like cuisinox and Meyer. As long as you're getting full body triclad, and you like the handles, there shouldn't be anything too significantly different (other than price) between them.
Avoid ones with the disc pads on the bottom tho, those are all junk. True full body triclad is worth the extra $$$.

>>13772884
just get a scanpan

>>13772884
Get the Costco brand of the same thing. Great pans.

>>13772969
>yea bro just cook your eggs in a pot

>>13773581
I've had my Kirkland set for ~20 years. Fantastic pans.

pots are also a meme

>>13772884
I have a 3 qt sauce pan, 10" fry pan & 10" non-stick they all good boys

>>13772884
Get pans that don't have rivets on the inside, that shit is annoying when cooking and cleaning.

Yes, the skillets and saucepans for sure. Less so for something like a stockpot

I have an 8" nonstick, a 12" d3, and a 14" d3 (which is fucking massive but i use it constantly). also have a 2qt and 3qt saucepan.

of all of them, the 14" skillet gets the most use

>>13773854
>14" d3
yeah, but $205 for a single pan that is only 3 layer, not a great deal.

>>13773614
This, you retarded consoomers just buy whatever 4chins tells you, I just fry my eggs over a fire on a trashcan lid.
>inb4 germs
I wash it in a local stream, I'm good.

Is lagostina a decent brand? I bought a shitload of vintage lagostina (the fuckers with the plastic handles) saucepans and a skillet for like $5-$7 each at a thrift store. Keeping an eye out for copper and tri-ply shit but they sell fast and I aint buying that shit new.

>>13773859
>he didn't use his 20% off bed bath and beyond wedding registry completion discount

This shit, is it worth my time for $6 or is it just shitty kitchen clutter

>>13774736

Forgot pic

>>13773971
even 20% off still makes that a $150+ pan.

>>13774807
it'll last decades and continue to be worth it

>>13774793
Spend some more money, that thing looks too thin to evenly distribute heat and the sides are super shallow.

>>13774736
>>13774793
you should have *a* small teflon pan, but in general non-stick is not worth your time. learn to be the master of heat.

>>13774842
that's the video that made me add all-clad d3 12" to my amazon shopping list. Currently selling for $130

>>13773581
>>13773605
but I dont got a costco membership

>>13773934

Here, this is what I got, lagostina THERMOPLAN

>>13774979
they're generally not amazing

at least their current stuff

Their copper cookware for example, it's just copper cladding on aluminium, so it looks like copper, but isn't actually gonna have any thermal advantage compared to actual copper.

>>13772884
The fry pans aren't, but the 4-quart saucepan is worth it.
I've had mine for almost 20 years, use it about 3x per week, and it still looks brand new.
Thick metal walls, fantastic heat distribution and retention, plus the whole thing can go into an oven.

>>13773605
>kirkland
>only oven safe to 380F.
I'll stick with the All Clad that's good to 600F.

>>13772884
Yes, only poorfags disagree

>>13773854
How many people do you cook for?
I want a really big pan but I only cook for my self right now so I don't see the use for a 14.

>>13774979
yikes, is that a disked bottom?

>>13775018

Apparently thermoplan shit is like 60's-70's at least so realistically my stuff is like, 90's at the latest.

>>13775106
What happenes if you make a triclad pan but after your done you bond a disk pan base made out of really thick aluminium and a thin sheet of stainless to the base?
Will the walls still over heat or will the 3 layers on the side fix that while the base is 5 layers extra thick.

Anyone know if you can bond carbon steel or cast iron to copper so you can get both benefits or will it just warp out of control.

>>13775106

It's part of the pan, afaik

Anyone have the Cuisinart version of all-clad stuff? I see generally favorable reviews and a decent looking full set for less than $200 and I'm wondering if it's worth it. I don't need the absolute best of the best, I've gotten by just fine for years with a discount set of disk-botttom stainless but they're starting to show their age and the lids are kinda fucked up because they've got the shitty screw-on knob lids that inevitably fail over time.

>>13775292
they're not as good as all-clad, but they're fine mid-level cookware.


I have a couple Cuisinart pots and pans.

>>13775297
Good to know, I'll keep them in mind. I was thinking of getting a decent set like that to start me and then grabbing upgrades of each piece over time for the long term.

>>13775312
yeah my primary 12" skillet is Cuisinart and i've been using it several times a week for the last 8-10 years without issue.

>>13775085
me and my wife, but i love being able to cook a YUGE breakfast for myself in one pan, and cooking a giant batch of meat for meal prep

>>13772884
Yes

>>13775126
that's the thing though, a fully clad pan wouldn't need to have a disked bottom. It's a cost cutting feature for less expensive pans, adding it to full clad pan would just give that pan a reason for uneven heat. Uniformity = consistency

>>13772884
I have an all clad 3 ply frying pan and it’s awesome, but I’m not sure that I need all clad for the rest of my equipment.

my penis is 6" long

>>13773622
>>13773854
the 3 qt sauce pan is my one and only quality pan and god damn does it do literally everything. I want to get a D3 skillet but I can't justify buying one when my sauce pan is like a skillet+ in terms of versatility

>>13774942
>contemplating buying 100s of dollars worth of All Clad pans
>no Costco membership

>>13775292
I have a Cuisinart stockpot and I love it.
Best value for the money.

>>13775595
you cant exactly sear meat in a 3qt saucepan, itll just steam itself

This wasn't mentioned yet. I have this set, rated to 500F and so far loving them.

>>13772884
No.

>>13775844
Yeah cooks standard sets are well worth the money, great starter cookware.

>>13774887

that shit's $325 here

>>13775863
Also, Costco occasionally has that set for a hundred bucks.

The pots are good but fuck the pans, they perform worse than any other kind for any specific task.

>>13775813
I meant saute pan kek

More like all chad.

which one /ck/

>>13776817
I personally dislike copper clad cookware.

Buy stainless steel, or buy real copper.

>>13772884
All-clad? More like All-chad.

>>13776817

>paying $500 for pots and pans

Nigger I can go to an estate sale right now and get a whole set for $50.

>>13777179
The problem with that is, you can't.

If you hunt around estate sales enough, sure you'll eventually find a good deal like that.

But you can't just pretend like you can go out TODAY 100% guarantee you'll find a great set of pans for dirt cheap at an estate sale. That's just now how it works.

>>13776817

Saucepans don't need cladding, just get a quality skillet, maybe a saute pan, and then get cheaper stuff with a good aesthetic for your sauce pans.

the thought of women stealing my semen from disposed condoms and using a turkey baster to inseminate themselves has ruined the word and concept of "basting" for me

>>13778790
Same thing happened to me and the term "clotted cream."
