Cookware

I have no idea what kind of cookware to put on my registry, what are you gals registering for?

ETA: DO you think it would be better to register for the whole set or get individual pieces because it's more likely for people to afford that?

Re: Cookware

I registered for Calphalon. I LOVE to cook, so I wanted a good set. But to me All Clad is for the professionals...so I figured Calphalon was just one step down....not professional, but not for the beginner cook either.

Here's the set I registered for (FH's parents bought them for us):

Calphalon Contemporary Stainless Steel 13 pc set

ETA: Even if you put the whole set on, several people can all chip in together to buy it for you.

I registerd for
Calphalon Contemporary Non-Stick 12-Piece Set
and then added some things I wanted from other sets.

Re: Cookware

I registered for the All Clad stainless steel pots and pans. But I didn't get a set, I registered for them individually so people can pick and choose what they want to buy. My brother has the same set and he loves it. And I already have the wok which is awesome. It heats up quick and cleans easily. It's just a little heavy

Re: Cookware

i registered for the all-clad set (10 pc) which my parents got us for the e-party, but i also registered for a few additions-the set is stainless steal and i did want some non-stick, i also registered for the big pasta pot, a small steamer pot, and a lil pot for soups and stuff

Re: Cookware

we currently have calphalon non stick. we don't need many more sizes so we will probally register for the same brand. they are very easy to clean & even come out great in the dishwasher.

we also have 2 Le Creuset cast iron pans. they r very expensive. about $100 + each, but worth the price.

Re: Cookware

We registered for Calphalon tri ply stainless steel 13pc set and added a few separate pans as well. We do tons of cooking.

We have currently the Macy's tools of the trade anodized aluminum pans and pots. We've used them for 1.5years and the two we use most often need to be replaced all ready so I suggest not to get the cheaper 'starter sets'

Re: Cookware

I registered for the calphalon as well.

Re: Cookware

What about Emeril's line? FH's stepmom bought it and said that it is made by All-Clad but cheaper because its under his name and he appeals to us middle class folk. Is it exactly the same?

Re: Cookware

from what i found on-line they're made by all-clad, and they got good reviews, but the construction is a bit different

Re: Cookware

Re: Cookware

we haven't registered for anything yet.. but I'm leaving the pots and pans to the FH.. hes the cook! lol

But I think he's leaning more towards the calphalon brand too

Re: Cookware

We already go the wolfgang puck set from my mother .... FH is a culinary student and says these a fantastic to cook on .... and the set is very reasonable ....

Re: Cookware

I just got all new pots and pans for the house, so i'm not sure if i should register for more pots and pans

I registerd for
Calphalon Contemporary Non-Stick 12-Piece Set
and then added some things I wanted from other sets.

same here. I love the feel of the pots and felt like they best suited my cooking/cleaning needs.

i also added some more pieces to the set.

Re: Cookware

We were givel Emeril's line. They are very nice, but heavy!

StaceYums81 Posted: Mar 02, 2009 12:15 PM

Re: Cookware

I think that a $600 dollar pot set if I put that down people would say something. Maybe I'll just register for individual pieces. There's nothing wrong with that right?
