Stainless steel wins for me! 🤗 Cleans easy, works on any stove, and lasts forever ..Nonstick for eggs, cast iron for searing ..So I guess mix and match based on your cookin' style! 😎

Quality matters, but so does your cooking style and preferences. I think it's worth investing in a few core pieces that suit your needs rather than a full set that you may not use. Though, a versatile skillet and a sturdy saucepan are good starting points for most kitchens. 🔥

Look for pots and pans with thick, durable materials like stainless steel or cast iron, 🔍 prioritize reputable brands for reliability, and ensure they have comfortable handles for easy maneuvering! 🍳
