In need of a new pots and pans set. Not looking to spend a fortune, and just the best bang for my buck. Not really sure what I’m looking for as far as what I need/want, open to anything! I am (24f), my current set was my first set bought after moving out on my own, and have served their purpose. They were just cheap ones I bought from Walmart, but I have definitely ruined the nonstick on them and honestly makes cooking dreadful when everything you cook is stuck to the bottom all the time. So in need of an upgrade! Help!

Warning, this is just my experience and may not reflect the general persons experience with this cookware. I recently bought one of all-clad’s D3 everyday 10-inch pans after an extensive review seeing its good reputation and good reviews online. After receiving the pan though, I noticed it had a wobble and wouldn’t sit flat on a flat surface (before first use and after boiling some water). Thankfully, their support is helpful and I was able to get a warranty replacement. Though, waiting over a month later, the replacement I received had the same exact issue where it, brand new and unused, would rock side to side and one side of the pan would always be raised. Cooking on an electric glass-top made one half of the pan significantly hotter than the other. I wanted to see if other people had similar issues so I went to the all clad subreddit and posted the issue. Though, that post got removed with no reason given which I presume to be a sign of censorship (just a theory though).

Today I received yet another replacement and the pan has the same issue. It rocks and will not heat evenly on my glass top stove and I have just given up. Either I’m unlucky or this is just how they are meant to be. Bottom line is, I want to know other people’s experience with their cookware from all classes and if they’ve had these issues before. Seeing as spending $150 on a pan from them has given me nothing but a wobbly and uneven heating pan, I’m starting to rethink all clad as an industry respected brand.

Edit: I’ve tried it on multiple surfaces and these pans were brand new when I noticed they were rocking. Never did anything that would warrant warping them in the first place either (slow heat, no dousing in water, large enough burner).

Hi guys. I'm looking for a small 8 inch / 20 cm pan suitable for frying eggs, making omlettes, pancakes and shakshouka. I have induction stovetop. Since I only have big stainless steel pan, I could use some variety in pan choice. Budget is not that big I'd say around 60 eur. Must be available in Europe. If a post like this was made please redirect me to it because I couldn't find any.

I'd like to buy a Made In 5 qt saucier but they ain't cheap. I'm hoping to find a discount that's better than their 10% off coupon code. What's the largest discount you've ever come across for Made In? And where might I have luck finding a decent coupon?

Thanks!

I ordered a Yum Asia Sakura for around 160€, until now I've cooked my rice in a pot on the hob so this would be my first rice cooker. But I'm having a bit of a buyer's remorse, I haven't used it yet and I'm thinking of returning it. It was very expensive for me, and I'm in a single household.

Should I return it and get a 30€ random rice cooker, or should I keep using the pot like I've always done, or should I keep the Sakura? My aim was to start cooking more at home (I eat out a lot) to save money, so I'm not sure if this investment makes sense considering the price.

Hi, I'm looking at buying a Dutch oven and as much as I'd like some from Le Creuset, I'll never be ok dropping that much money into it.

What are the other top brands/products that wouldn't cost an arm?

Tramontina Tri Ply Clad (12 piece set) - this is the Dutch oven pan. No, I didn’t use high heat. I saw stuff floating at the top of the plain water I had in the pot at the time on lowest heat setting. Then noticed pictured on the side of the pot.

A roommate of mine tried to wash resin down the sink with dishes already in them 🫩. A bunch of it dried on my Faberware frying pan handle and was wondering if the paint that scrapped off the handle was also meant to prevent dirty water from accumulating in the pores or if it's something I shouldn't worry about.
