Cookware Sets - An Introduction.
The best cookware sets offer basic shapes and sizes that give you the most use from the least equipment. Some of the top cookware sets are made by All Clad, Cuisinart and Wolfgang Puck. But most cookware sets need to be supplemented with non-matching pieces made for specific purposes: a stirfry pan, for example.
Cookware sets are worth considering because they offer unbelievable savings. But to be sure the set really is a bargain, make sure the pieces provide a variety of functions and don't duplicate each other. The most basic is a set with a saucepan with lid and a frying pan. A soup pot is usually worthwhile, as is a straight-sided sauté pan or a chef's pan for sautéing, braising and stewing.
Be wary of sets with several sizes of the same kind of pan -- few of us need three omelet pans, and the like. Avoid sets with odd pieces that aren't useful. Consider what is being offered rather than merely counting the number of pieces at a particular price.
