I don’t know what I would do if I needed new pots and pans nowadays. So many choices! I have a flat cooktop and really like it for our purposes. I am still using a T-Fal set from QVC from the early 90s. It is in perfect shape. We don’t have birds so no worries about them and off gassing. I guess they haven’t killed us so far! I would buy just the pots I normally use unless a set included them. My friend is a great cook and she got some LeCruset and found filled with food they are very heavy to lift. Stainless is really nonstick if it is heated, then add oil and then let that get hot. We use the Instant Pot a lot and that stainless insert is very easy to clean. I don’t have any of the copper lined skillets or green ones. Gives me food for thought.
