The wife's investment
Just curious what everyone’s favorite cookware is. Since acquiring an induction cooktop I had to make a few new purchases because my old Farberware stockpot and sauté pan (nearly 40 years old) didn’t work.
A couple years ago I purchased a set of Viking (made in USA) pans for my youngest to replace the nonstick poison that I bought her for her wedding present. She let me have a 3 quart sauce pan and a fry pan from the set. Then, because getting SS clad cookware made in the US was such a gamble, even All Clad now makes some pieces in China (I’m not paying premium prices if I can’t be guaranteed where it’s made), I decided to try Made In. I bought an 8 quart stock pot and a sauté pan that were made in Italy.
I really like the Made In cookware and if I can’t get it made in my own country, then Italy is fine. USA, Canada/North America or EU are my preferred choices of origin.
The next item on my list is a saucier pan. I’m leaning toward another Made In offering, but wanted to see what others in this community think. If you were going to buy an induction compatible saucier pan, which one would you get?
