I’ve been wanting to buy my wife a nice set of cook ware for quite awhile now. For a true devil-may-care approach to cooking, consider the Always Pan. This multipurpose option is everything you could ask for from a pan—and then some. There’s plenty of room to boil pasta, but it’s also shallow enough to fry an egg or sauté veggies.
If the handles are loose or broken, or the bottom of a pan is warped , it’s time to shop. And of course, when the coating of a nonstick pan is flaking, it’s got to go. We also like that each pan has a helper handle, which allows cuisinart knife for easy movability. The 13-inch square pan is a unique size, ideal for browning and then braising or baking; it can be stored under the large skillet, while the pots can be stored on top of the in a compact fashion.
There are two side spouts, which are great for transferring ingredients from pan to plate without dirtying your counter. The Always Pan also comes with a wooden spatula and a steamer insert, which both store inside, under the lid, like a big beautiful nesting doll. Designed with your health in mind, ceramic cookware is free of toxic materials for guilt-free cooking. This stylish, speckled set has a 4.7-star rating, and reviews say Starfrit’s patented nonstick surface is well worth the price.

Generally, nonstick pans are best used at medium or low heat, and never heat an empty pan. Be sure to check the oven-safe temperature capabilities of your pans to avoid overheating, which can cause the coating to flake or chip. Check care instructions to determine if your set is hand wash only or dishwasher safe. Even if a set is dishwasher safe, many manufacturers Cookware Sets recommend hand washing to protect the coating and extend the life of your pans. You’ll want to consider features like whether the pans are dishwasher safe or oven-safe, and if so, up to what temperature. Look at the design, too, like if pans are built with rubberized coated handles for a comfortable grip or an extra-long design to assure a cool-touch guarantee.
