Dishwasher Safe Stainless Steel Pots and Pans
Bought a Costco/Sam's Club Tramontina 3 ply set when we went induction. They're fine in the dishwasher. Occasionally you can see a little bit of a difference in the finish inside (like if you cook rice, you may see little rice shaped patches inside the pot even after washing; it's clean but it just looks a little different). I've had this happen to pretty much all stainless, though, and if you are bothered by it, a quick scrub with Barkeeper's Friend and it's back to being pretty...

Best pot and pan set for a new homeowner?
Either you want non-stick or you want BIFL. Can't have both. Best value is the Tramontina stainless set. Costco has it for $240 [https://www.costco.com/tramontina-12-piece-tri-ply-clad-stainless-steel-cookware-set.product.100809273.html](https://www.costco.com/tramontina-12-piece-tri-ply-clad-stainless-steel-cookware-set.product.100809273.html) Walmart sells the same set for $335 [https://www.walmart.com/ip/Tramontina-12-Piece-Tri-Ply-Clad-Stainless-Steel-Cookware-Set/692240835?classType=REGULAR&from=/search](https://www.walmart.com/ip/Tramontina-12-Piece-Tri-Ply-Clad-Stainless-Steel-Cookware-Set/692240835?classType=REGULAR&from=/search) They used to make a 12/14 piece set with glass lids and that was awesome because you can see inside but they're competing with AllClad which is all stainless lids (and those won't break..) Tramontina has a lifetime warranty and they honor it. I broke a lid, totally my fault and they shipped me a new pan and lid for free.

What’s the pan everyone needs that’s BIFL?
Tramontino three-layer works great and it costs a fraction of what All-clad does.

What brand / type of pots & pans are worth investing in as a young adult?
I have a Tramontina 12pc set from Costco plus a 12" skillet also from Tramontina. They all work well, no warping and even heat distribution. I have an induction stovetop. I rarely use the 3qt saute pan or 8" skillet. What I don't like about the sauce pans is that the lips are not rounded, but squared off. It makes pouring anything out of them messy. Also, the 1qt sauce pan has a small diameter bottom and tall sides, making stirring difficult. I bought the set when we got the induction stove and needed to replace every piece of cookware minus one in the kitchen 30+ years worth in a hurry. If I were in the same situation again I'd get the Costco Cuisinart or All Clad D3 sets. If I had more time I'd buy individual pieces. I have also purchased a 10" ceramic nonstick skillet and 12" ceramic nonstick saute pan. Nonstick is great when you need it, but PFOSs and PFOAs are not, hence the ceramic. Note that the nonstick doesn't last, even treating them with kid gloves and non metal utensils, and they tend to warp, so don't buy expensive ones because you'll be replacing them in a year and a half or less (I consider anything over $70 expensive). As others have said, get a 14" carbon steel wok with a lid and learn how to use it. You'll be glad you did. Get a set of cast iron and/or carbon steel skillets. By a set I mean 8" and 10" each at a minimum, and 12 inches of you need the real estate. One last thing. I really missed my stovetop pressure cooker. I don't have counter space for an instant pot, so I finally replaced it with a T-fal Clipso 8qt. I love it. It cooks at 12psi - the same as an instant pot - but heats up much more quickly. The billions of recipes out there for the instant pot are a straight one to one, no conversion needed. I'd have entertained an instant pot but already have a slow cooker, and I don't want anymore Teflon in my life.

Got a $200 all-clad pan for $1.50 at the goodwill bins
Or buy a complete 12 piece set of Tramontina for $200. https://www.costco.com/tramontina-12-piece-tri-ply-clad-stainless-steel-cookware-set.product.100809273.html

Stainless steel cookware recommendations?
I like having fancy cookware but you can't beat the value of Tramontina from Costco, it's ridiculously cheap. Here's a big set online but there's smaller sets in the store, like just two skillets for $30 or so. [https://www.costco.com/tramontina-12-piece-tri-ply-clad-stainless-steel-cookware-set.product.100809273.html](https://www.costco.com/tramontina-12-piece-tri-ply-clad-stainless-steel-cookware-set.product.100809273.html) I have a mixture of All-Clad D3 pans and Tramontina tri ply. The All-clad is slightly nicer, but when cooking they perform the same. Personally I like All-Clads handles, probably because I grew up with them, but I think most people seem to like Tramontina's handles better. But for most things you'd want a non stick skillet for I would use a carbon steel or cast iron pan over a stainless, stainless is my go to for searing when I want some fond left behind to make a nice pan sauce, or simmering acidic foods. I use my carbon steel and cast iron skillets more often than my stainless steel skillets though. I also have some Hestan stainless steel stuff and that is very fancy, if you want to go all out I'd look at their NanoBond line. I don't have any since I can't justify the cost, but it would be nice.
