Cookware sets are divided by their build materials, and your choice should be based on your budget, what you like to cook and how often you cook. Here is a breakdown of the different types for you to compare:
Basic Cookware Set Materials:
Stainless Steel Cookware Sets: Stainless steel is not only durable but also very low maintenance, and even in high temperature situations (like searing your steak to perfection) they can withstand the heat. Because they are rust resistant and don’t react with foods, they are suitable for a wide variety of foods. As an added bonus, most sets are dishwasher safe. Ultimately, they are a great long lasting set that are great value for money for first time buyers.
Copper Cookware Sets: Copper cookware provides excellent heat conductivity that cooks food evenly. The exact temperature control of these sets make it possible for cooks to whip up even the most complicated recipes. Because of their strength and longevity, copper cookware sets are an investment and an ideal upgrade for the avid cookers.
Aluminium Cookware Sets: Aluminium cookware offers the most competitive cookware prices, and because these sets still conduct heat like a pro, they are great value for money. They are lightweight, which makes using and cleaning easier, and very versatile. Ideal for first time cookware set buyers looking for a low cost set to get them started.
Cast Iron Cookware Sets: Cast Iron is a stable and favorite cookware material that is known for good heat distribution and even cooking. Cast iron sets are non-stick without needing an extra chemical coating, and they therefore enjoy good longevity. Ideal for simmering and cooking over extended cooking times, these sets often come with an enamel coating which enables cooks to use them on the stove and in the oven, giving you much more functionality for your money.
Ceramic Cookware Sets: Ceramic cookware sets can withstand very high heats and therefore are often used on stove tops and in ovens. With the added bonus of being microwave and even freezer safe, they offer cooks unprecedented versatility. Their non-stick surfaces make them easy to clean and their coating make them easy on the eye. They are a high quality cookware set investment for larger kitchens.
Titanium Cookware Sets: If you're looking for cookware that has the strength of steel and lightness of aluminium, titanium cookware is what you are looking for. Heating up quickly and evenly, they make cooking efficient. They are not only nonreactive, but their titanium build makes them scratch and dent resistant, too. Titanium cookware is non-stick and therefore requires little or no oil, and cleaning can be as easy as wiping it clean with a cloth. These high quality sets are a sound investment and their units can stand the test of time, and a busy kitchen.
Combination Cookware Set Materials:
Tri-ply Cookware Sets: This cookware has an aluminum or copper core wrapped in two layers of stainless steel and therefore offers the versatility and longevity of steel with the good heat conduction of copper. Some sets can be used both on the stovetop and in the oven! Because these high quality sets offer the best of both worlds, they make cooking and cleaning easy, without compromising on heat.
Porcelain Enamel Cookware Sets: Porcelain cookware sets are normally cast iron or carbon steel that have been encased in porcelain enamel. Combining cooking technologies, these sets are a breeze to clean and don’t react to food (like ceramic pots) and require much less oil and seasoning (like cast iron sets).
Coated Cookware Sets: Cookware can be coated with the following nonstick materials: calphalon, circulon, teflon, tefal, silverstone, and anolon. Sets with coatings are ideal for foods like pancakes, egg, and fish that are a little more delicate and make it possible to use little or no oil at all.
