Reply to comment by scipper77 in BIFL suggestions for cookware? I already have a cast iron skillet. by TrialByFireAnts

Cuisinart is my cheaper choice behind all-clad. I have some of each now and like them for different reasons

I prefer the Kirkland 5 ply copper core pans for my cheap pans.

I've been debating about buying those. You recommend them?

So I got a set of the copper core all clad as a wedding gift, but it didn’t come with a 4qt pot. This pot alone is 400 but the Kirkland set was 179, and came with a 4qt pot. So now I have a lot of extra pans. The Kirkland ones are nice, and I would say a bifl product. I just primarily prefer my all clad because they just feel better in my hands

Sweet. I'm working with hand me down Teflon pans that should've been thrown away 4 years ago. I've been socking money away to buy a set but didn't know which one to go with.

I'll probably get the Kirkland set now to get rid of my Teflon and then I'll go from there.

Thanks!

My mom still uses her cuisinart pots she got when she was married 42 years ago. My set is still going strong as well, even if they’re only like 12 years old.

We got a set of Anolon 5-ply a few years ago. Works just as good as All Clad and basically half the cost.
