    I bought the Cusinert 5 piece frying pan set from Costco and they are outstanding! I have been cooking for over 60 years and have pieces from all the most expensive brands including lecreuset! Staub! All-clad, cast iron, and mauvial. I wanted a small frying pan to cook my eggs in and was going to buy the all clad from Costco, and one day I was in the store and saw the cusinart set. For less than the cost of one small frying pan from all-clad I could get 3 pans and two lids for less money. I bought them and they were on sale for under $50 for the set. They are amazing and cook evenly on their surface. 🎉

    My dad was an engineer. He taught me to always buy the best, so you buy it once and it lasts you a lifetime. I bought an All-Clad 3D frying pan/skillet, and despite the high price, it's actually the cheapest option, as I'll never need to replace it.

      I agree with that approach. At the same time, I found a budget 3-ply 12-inch amazon brand stainless fry pan that I'm really enjoying. An all-clad might be better long-term, but I don't want to pay 10 times as much at the moment...

    I lucked into a 12-inch aluminum Revere Ware skillet for $2.25 at the thrift store. It was so old the logo was wearing off the bottom, yet the non-stick coating was still in perfect shape and it cooks like a charm. Thrift stores are great places to gauge brand quality. If you're an average cook, as I am, there's no need to spend a fortune on cookware.

    I got a set of two Tramontina tri-ply pans at Costco (10in and 12in) for only $30 almost a year ago, and I've been very impressed. They're made in China instead of Brazil, but are still very well made. The 12in weighs 3lbs 3.3oz, and the 10in weighs 2lbs 6.6oz according to my cheap kitchen scale. Other than cosmetic scratches from metal utensils they've held up great with zero warping.

    Since I almost never cook [my idea of home cooking is removing the plastic wrap from my hungry man dinner], I see no reason to upgrade. Although, I have been tempted to go to Ikea's like of cookware. However, in my case it just doesn't make sense.

They were the last non-stick pans I owned, before switching completely to stainless steel and carbon steel. Never again, no more non-stick.

    • @PrudentReviews
      @PrudentReviews  3 дня назад +2

      Thank you! The advice I always give is the bottom of your pan shouldn't be more than an inch larger than the burner. If it's more than that, there's a good chance your pan will warp because the heat is so concentrated at the center.
      Do you have an unusually small stovetop? Usually at least one burner fits a 12-inch pan comfortably.
