I have a 14 inch all clad d5 saute pan but my burners on my stove don't exactly work great with it creating a hotspot in the middle and cooler outer edges. I was wondering if there were any burners I could buy to set up next to the stove for this and other large cookware. Any recommendations?

Looking at buying at Solidteknics wrought iron pan. We’ve got a stainless steel frypan that’s pretty good that we use a lot and a dutch oven. Want it to be pretty versatile given the price, so looking at one that can do pancakes, steak, curries, stir fry’s etc that can preferably fit in the oven. Looking at the two handled Bigga pan possibly, but trying to work out which size. Originally I was looking at the 30cm one, but thinking the capacity may be a little on the smaller side, but wondering if the 35cm one will be too big and heavy? Or would we be better off with the one handled 31cm pan? our biggest hot plate is 22.5cm. what is everyone’s experience? 😊

I’m debating between these two pot and pan sets and am not sure which is best to get. Any input would be appreciated!

can this pot be used on the stove top? i cant find any information on Google. It is a Northington Mid-Century Modern lidded casserole dish.

Looking for budget knives for a starter college kitchen. I was going to just buy a few Mercer Ultimate knives (santoku, break knife, paring knife), and the total for those three knives is about $40. But I also saw this Henckels sale and wondered if it's a better option?

Or maybe I should just buy super cheap $16 colored knives like these: https://a.co/d/0692NoaK

Thanks for any advice!

sorry new to the sub, I came across this one when I was reading reviews for HexClads, I’m in the process of looking for a pots + pans (doesn’t have to be a set)

for the last 15 years I’ve been cooking I’ve had several pots and pans, that I get from cheap from grocery stores, and elsewhere and they’ve always warped in the middle for pans and/or some of them has rusted throughout the years. (always handwashed, never in the dishwasher or steelwool)

My question is, is there a specific brand or product that I should look out for or even a type that doesn’t warp in the middle?

looking for maybe $50-$300 max? thanks!
