  Looking for good quality kitchen utensils

  This is quite disheartening, i could remenber one time i was in the middle of making this delicious pot of vegetable soup and my silicon spoon broke into two, leaving me with the handle and the other half into my boiling pot, immediately had to order from GIR, Get It Right, have heard of them for the longest, but only bought after i was stranded mid cooking, ever since then, i have not known breaking or disappointment from my cooking utensils. Heard Tovolo is good too.

  I need new induction cookware I won’t have to throw away in two years.

  I have a mat from GIR because my husband’s cast iron pan he brought to the relationship 25+ years ago is cruddy on the bottom, I’m not cleaning it for him, and I don’t want the crud transferred and baked on with the heat. By some miracle he actually uses it.

  Silicone Kitchen Utensils

  I’ve tried OXO and GIR before and they’re pretty good, recently started using a ZenCookware set with olive wood handles and it feels nice so far, worth checking out.

  What brand / type of pots & pans are worth investing in as a young adult?

  Hi! After trial and error with big brands, my wedding registry picks, and discount store/secondhand shopping, I’ve got some suggestions for the basics (and brand recommendations)! - <b>Splurge: Staub Dutch oven </b> (the dimpled lid allows for better steam distribution than the others) - <b>Cast iron pan</b> 10 or 12” — Lodge is really affordable and available at Target - <b>stainless steel pasta pot </b> (you can also use it as a stockpot for homemade chicken soup - the strainer feature is great here) — I got AllClad, but just be sure to get a high quality stainless steel (lower quality versions can allow nickel and other heavy metals used as the base to be exposed to your food as it deteriorates) - <b>MadeIn stainless steel anything</> — I just got a saucepan from them and I used it to melt chocolate yesterday— I’m amazed. Superior even to my AllClad pans, and I wish I’d registered for these. - <b>Crow Canyon porcelain enamel sheet pans</b> - <b>Silpat sheet pan liners</b>better for you than aluminum foil and, per a caterer I asked what to put on my registry, a “must have” — I’ve been so glad to have these for cooking and baking) - not a pot/pan, but <b>Epicurean cutting boards</b>. Nontoxic (unlike plastic cutting boards which release microplastics into your food) and dishwasher safe. - <b>HexClad</b> whether these are in fact nontoxic (as long as you don’t damage the protective layer, so it says) is iffy, but they’re great for things that are prone to sticking, like eggs. - <b>Visions glass cookware</b> you can find these at thrift stores or on Etsy/Ebay. They’re made of a super strong glass and allow you to see what you’re cooking as it cooks, as well as dishwasher safe. Good for some things, not as much for others (I.e., pan-wise, not ideal for something you want a nice sear on), and it is crucial that you get one without any damage (cracks, nicks, whatever) because some that have been damaged can kind of explode (uncommon). - <b>cooking tools</b> ditch anything metal! A good set of wooden or bamboo tools is great. So are GIR silicone tools. I LOVE the meat chopper for ground beef. - <b>oven-to-table cookware</b> you can’t go wrong with Corningware (though ugh, mine chipped at first dishwashing— something I’d never seen before), Pyrex, or Anchor Hocking. You can get these secondhand pretty easily, but be careful of the pretty vintage ones, as the paints can contain lead. I hope this is helpful! I’m not a star chef at all, so everything I’ve included and found are pretty forgiving to screwups. Oh and a big “not worth it”: Caraway (even with normal use and no metal utensils, coating scratched in <1 year). Pretty until it gets stained from heat or cooking.
