I am going to have to get a new set of cookware. I'm wanting to spend about 200.00 to 250.00 for the standard 12-15pc set. What's the best for the money? Stainless? Anodized? Is there something else?
My wife too and seems like she just knows how to set the burners on high.The Calphalon anodized goes all the way though and as far as I can tell it's never "worn off" like the cheap planted non-stick ones do.
Another thing, if you go with the anodized set you will have to cook different, you will learn to lower the temp since the anodized ones heat envenly though out the whole pan, this incules sides. Also the food stays hoter much longer in the pans.
When I wash my SS set I just wash it regulary in the sink after each use but once a month I use Bar Keepers Friend and make them look brand new.
If you get the anodized set get rud of your metal utensils and buy new ones that will not scrape the new set. like it or not but teenagers for some reason will reach for metal or steel utensils 9 times out of 10.
Both sets I listed can be found for under $250 each set.

I saw the question after I posted the same one. Good info from Wildcat.Good luck, he hasn't been on since 2015
Maybe someone else can answer your question though
We have 3 sizes of cast iron skillets. Fried some nice Backstrap up tonight. It's not practical for everything.Cook on well seasoned cast iron every chance you get. Once we converted to it, we don't care to use anything else.
