Whatever you purchase, consider getting pots that are compatible with induction stoves as that is the longer term trend. Gas stoves will eventually be banned or limited as new research is showing ill health effects from them.

This is good advice. Also keep in mind that lower quality cookware that suitable for induction might not work if previously used on another heat source. It only takes a little bit of warping for the pan not to make enough contact with the induction stovetop, rendering it useless. The thicker the bottom, the more likely it will retain its shape and survive a transition to induction.

I am getting an induction stovetop this spring and am so curious to see how much of my cookware survives. I am hopeful for my Fissler Profi pots, but I am already mentally preparing myself to have to replace something inevitably because of the switch. Fingers crossed!!

We inherited a whole beautiful set of 1950s Magnalite cast aluminum cookware that we never got to use. Unfortunately none of it would work when we purchased an induction stove two years ago. About 2/3rd of our existing pots worked fine. No regrets about the stove however, induction is just fantastic.

For this copper core are awesome, as they bring the copper performance to induction stoves. I prefer Falk over All-Clad though if you can get it. Otherwise Demeyere Atlantis is specifically optimized for Induction and has great pots regardless
