Hi, /ck/, I'm moving out of my parents' house next month and don't own any kitchenware, what are some essentials/suggestions you have/good brands you know for cookware?

All-Clad. Yes, it's worth it.

For most recommendations of kitchen hardware, they perform the most comprehensive roundup tests of the best equipment on the market.

I cook regularly but bake more occasionally. mostly quick meals but sometimes I make something nice for dates.

For pots and pans I like Lagostina. You can usually find a decent set on sale at Costco, Sears or the likes.

For baking I tend to go with Anchor for pyrex and Baker's secret for metal things.

Don't worry about buying everything right now. Get what you need to make dinner on a day to day basis. The rest will accrue normally.

Their testing seems both wordy and superficial. I mean they recommended the KitchenAid with the plastic parts over the Pro series with the metal ones. Guess which one will last you decades longer?

Learn to enjoy slicing your fingers open if you get this. These things are infamous. Especially when cleaning them.

You will need at least one Lodge cast-iron dutch oven.

Huh, yeah. There should be a spatula in regular cook tier.

That sort of rubber spatula seems to be specifically for baking prep and other cold things to me though, as in it would melt in a hot pan.

Plastic doesn't rust you idiot, clearly it will last longer.

You will need a small and a medium pan and a small and a medium frying pan.
A spatula - don't go for crazy shapes, they are shitty - and a cooking spoon and a ladle.
A small and a large knife, along with a cutting board.

That will do for the first month. you will find out what else you need.

To make it clear: I wasn't talking about rubber spatula.
you will need something to flip stuff over in the pan.
