Am I crazy?

I have SS, CI, CS, enameled, etc. I love them. But I also love “nonstick,” albeit a misnomer. Six months ago I bought T-fal ceramic from Costco. It’s been my go-to. After six months, it’s no longer non-stick.

I plan to donate it to Goodwill. And buy another set from Costco.

Am I crazy? Wasteful?

Are these two pans any good?

My partner was a Woolworths today and grabbed these two pans with our cookware credits because we had a lot of them. Are they any good? The wok has a non stick coating but says it does contain pfas, the casserole looks as though it has no coating? Neither mention if they do or what type.

How do I get this brown tint off of my new Tramontina Tri-Ply pan?

I know it’s cosmetic but I’m new to cooking with stainless and would really like for it to be back to shiny (or close)

Help Needed! Looking for specific pasta bowl

Hi y'all

I found these pasta bowls from West Elm and absolutely fell in love. However I came to find out that these are NOT microwave safe which made it a deal breaker for me :(

I have been looking everywhere for something similar in size (8in diameter and ~2in deep) and shape but to no avail. I love the exact shape of this bowl where the side walls are not too curved or too straight. Color is not of the utmost importance but it needs to be microwave safe.

Hoping someone can find these bowls for me!

No Plastic Stovetop Kettle

I have always had a stovetop kettle made of metal with some sort of plastic part. The plastic parts melt or get funky, so I am searching for a non-plastic stovetop kettle. I am currently using a small pot to boil water in, but I miss the hum or whistle of a kettle.

Can ceramic kettles go directly on the stove? If so, what are some ceramic kettle recommendations?

Do you have a non-ceramic kettle that has no plastic? If so, what kind is it?

Hestan Probond 3.5 qt for $220 USD

Worth it? Or waste of money? I am buying from outside the US. Price includes long distance international shipping.

I already have an excellent set of Demeyere Proline/Atlantis.

Honestly I think it'll be exciting for the first day or two, then I will start to realise that I wasted my money. 😂😂

Can I cook in this?

Yesterday i took this pot (I usually just store onions in it), soaked it for 15 minutes, and made a chicken in the oven. It tastes a bit like clay, now idk if I should even finish the food.

When do scratches inside of pots become a problem?

Do the scratches on the inside of these pots look bad enough that I should throw them out? At what point are scratches something to be concerned with? I am concerned with potential issues with some of the inside of the pots leeching into food. Thanks

Need help with pans

For reference I use the air fryer to cook almost everything, oven only gets used for pizza

Veg gets steamed

I usually just cook eggs and steak on a frying pan but I’m in need of a new pan to cook both in so any recommendations would be great as I’m moving out in a few months and wanting to buy new things

UK based if it makes a difference!

TIA

Looking for something specific: glass lid for a Farberware pot *with a vent*

Good morning, r/cookware.

My wife just bought a new Farberware 5 quart Dutch oven. She was thrilled because she both needed a new pot and wanted the brand.

However, she discovered after opening it that the glass lid has no air vent. We have a different size pot with such a lid, it has a hole in the glass with a metal grommet - no valve or anything, just a vent.

She told me she really wants a lid to fit this particular pot, and if I find it for her that will be her birthday present. Problem is, Farberware doesn't make one, and I haven't found one that fits the specific pot.

The glass lid is 9.25 inches over a 5 quart metal Dutch oven. I've searched Farberware's site, eBay, and been in contact with Farberware's customer service. No dice.

If there's another brand with a vented lid that would fit hers, I'd buy the whole thing. If there was a way to order a custom lid with a vent, I'd do it. Can anyone here offer a suggestion or direct me to somewhere? I'd be grateful for any help.

Our Place Salad Plates in Terracotta

I’m so upset, I wanted to purchase the salad plates, dinner plates and dinner bowls from Our Place, but the Terracotta salad plates have been discontinued, so I can no longer have a matching set. I have some off white plates and bowls at home so I don’t want to introduce a 3rd colour just for the salad plates, and I’m set on a terracotta colour.

Looking for alternatives that are the same shape (blates, low and wide bowls), about the same size, though ideal salad plate size would be 7.5 inches, dinner plates 10.5 inches. Would like the same colour consistent throughout each dish — no diff coloured bottom or rim.

Shipping to Canada needed! Budget sub $200 USD or $300 CAD with shipping included.

Anyone own/used the Winco Tri Ply Stainless Frying Pans?

Just curious how thick/durable these are. I am looking specifically for a 14 inch frying pan. We have 7-8 people living in our house at any given time so even our 12 inch feels limited at times. Also, we just got an induction cooktop with an 11 inch element and only a 14+ inch pan actually has 11 inches of flat bottom to fully utilize it.

I'm specifically looking at this pan here but just wondering if anyone has used this Winco TGFP line of pans. I am hoping they are kinda super durable, that's mainly what I'm looking for. I don't see thickness listed anywhere. We have a 12 inch Made In pan which is good in most respects but it has warped, and even a free replacement has warped with pretty gentle usage and no thermal shock so I would like to try another brand for the 14 inch.

Appreciate any and all advice!

Greenpan GP5

Went to Marshalls and found this gem hidden amongst the sea of pans. Picked it up and felt it's substantial weight of 3lbs while the 5 ply is contributing to that weight. 2 qt perfect for bread pudding and such. Ceramic coated with beautiful champagne handles. Excited to give it a go.

In search of new stainless steel cooking spoons

Hi all! I have been wanting to upgrade my cooking spoons from plastic to stainless steel and I have looked around and I haven’t found any I love. I did recently get a Grey Kunz sauce spoon and am in love with it. So something similar and as solidly build would be appreciated!

My wife surprised me...

Our 20th anniversary is coming up and she decided to surprise me with a pre anniversary gift. As some of you know when I got rid of all of our pots and pans and decided to go stainless steel and copper I had no idea this brand was in play. I'm thrifting the 12-in all clad Cop-R-Chef pan and Kirkland's signature pro stainless steel pan.

The lid on this pot is heavy and I don't mean just because of the Disney character Goofy on top, it is a solid thunk when you tap it. Everything about this pot is heavy. The handle was smaller than I expected. One day I'll use it. So damn nice.

Skinny stock pot ...or tall sauce pan?

What is this. Is it used particularly. Holding stocks on griddles? specific sauces? Has a nice heavy bottom and measure markings. Strainer lid aswell.
