Thanks! This is very helpful.

In the lower price range, Tramontina tri-ply (which you can find in places like Walmart and Tuesday Morning) has always been well-regarded in the Kitchen forum.

ETA Tramontina makes a lot of different lines and most are not induction-compatible. You need the tri-ply. They make one other one (gourmet, maybe?) that's works with induction, but it has glass lids.

Ikea 365 works, too, but the skillets are all non-stick.

Costco has a Kirkland line of stainless steel that is very, very good. I know several people who have it and love it. Personally, I wish I had that instead of my heavy AllClad, but spent too much on the AllClad to now buy another line. The Costco stainless is packages as a set and is much, much less expensive than AllClad. It also has stainless steel lids. Here is a link: https://www.costco.com/Kirkland-Signature-13-piece-Tri-Ply-Clad-Stainless-Steel-Cookware-Set.product.100177739.html

If you have a Discover card, you can use it online at Costco until the end of June to order the cookware and get 5% a reward on the purchase.

I noticed that one reviewer said the skillets warp. I can nearly guarantee that they warped because they were used on very high heat for probably a long period of time. Just like AllClad, this cookware needs to be treated with respect and use a medium heat or maybe medium-high heat for a period of time. All of the people I know who have this cookware have never experienced any warping.

I have a set of Cuisinart stainless steel pots and skillets. When I got my little portable induction burner, I sold my previous Cuisinart set (not induction ready). They were like new and I got almost what I paid for them. I bought another set of Cuisinart immediately, it was on sale. I love them, easy to clean and they too, still look like new.

I have a portable induction burner -- we take it with us when we are traveling. We found that the T-Fal line has a lot of induction-ready cookware, and I have been happy with it. I became even happier with T-Fal when I discovered that my new pressure cooker (T-Fal) is induction-ready. So far, no discoloration or any warping -- but I don't cook something on very high heat!

The price is reasonable. I found the skillet and saucepan at Target, believe it or not.

When we got the induction several years ago, I got Emeril cookware and I really like it...the clear lids, the straining lids, the lip on the sauce pan and they heat well. I did get a martha stewart stainless dutch oven too.

But one of my favorites is an enameled cast iron dutch oven by lodge. Cast iron works really well on induction. The only thing I did was first have DH take a grinder to the bottom of the pans to take any burrs or imperfections off so it won't scratch the glass.

Also, pots/pans from Ikea have worked well for me. In addition, taking a magnet with me to Marshall's and TJ Maxx has helped me buy add'l pots I've been very pleased with. For some reason, I have loved the Ikea pots the most.

Hi, I'm new here, which kind of crockery do you use?

Hi! Nice to have you here!

Crockery? For serving? Why not open a new thread for that, so that many more people will see your question.

For cooking? You can't use it on induction. Induction only works on iron/steel.

Excuse me, please, I did not understand what I'm talking about.

I use a variety of сrockery. Pans are made of stainless steel. Recently I ordered a new Vogue frying pan on https://choice.co.nz/. I used her two times, until is fine.
I still have a set of induction saucepans. These saucepans very much help me in the preparation of food. I like to cook food in them.

Excellent!

And really, you're very welcome to open a new thread to talk about crockery if you want to.

For those interested in the Demeyere mentioned above, there is a great sale in the US from ZwillingOnline, direct from the US distributor. The products rarely go this low, although it's a subset of the full collection. The 5Plus (clad) and Atlantis (copper disk or clad, depending on the piece) are the top two lines.

UPDATE #2: Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Cookware

I still don't have my new cooktop installed, but I do have new cookware! I made the trek to a large cooking store in Portland to feel a few kinds of cookware. From research here and elsewhere, as well as my past experience with my Cuisinart Classic cookware, the Cuisinart Multiclad Pro and French Classic were top contenders.

Both sets were heavy, nicely finished with comfortable handles and stainless lids. The Multiclad Pro has a practical brushed exterior, the French Classic a mirror finish – very pretty, but high maintenance. Compared to the lids on my original set, they are very lightweight and very flat -- I much prefer the heavier weight and the slightly domed shape helps keep condensation in the pan, not on the lid waiting to drip everywhere on removal.

I noticed with both sets that the saucepan sizes were the same diameter for the 1, 2 and 3 qt. pans, eliminating the option of nesting in storage, and reducing the size of the cooking surface – why, I don’t know.

The French Classic set had different handles, very comfortable, more arched that the Multiclad set, which were very similar to my old Chef’s Classic set and quite comfortable for my hand. (BTW I noticed the new Chef’s Classic cookware is a far cry from my old set, much lighter weight and not as nicely finished.)

Ultimately for me, the value of the rolled rim of the Multiclad Pro line made the decision for me. I pour things from a saucepan or pot often enough that I wouldn’t trade it for the straight sides of the French Classic, no matter how pretty they were.

I shopped online for sets of the Multiclad Pro Line, comparing set make-up and open stock costs for additional pieces. I found a set on Amazon, sold by Woot, that gave me the most bang for my buck ($199): https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WVR87N6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This set included a 5.5 qt. casserole with lid that is one of my most-used pans in my old set. None of the other sets I found had it, nor could I find it open stock. It also offered a 3.5 qt. saute pan with helper handle, which I think I will find useful in addition to 2 skillets and an “every day pan” which is basically a 12 “ skillet with 2 pot handles instead of one long handle. My old steamer insert fits in the 3 qt. pan, and I let my pasta strainer/blanching strainer will fit in the 8 qt. stockpot, which I will purchase separately.

I have not installed my new cooktop yet, but I have been using my new cookware, and so far, it is wonderful. It heats evenly, produces a nice sear, and cleans up well. So far, so good! Thanks for the suggestions as I searched!

I love Berghoff Cookware on my induction cook top.

I had a pot party...no not that kind of pot :) Sadly below are some of the pots and pans that I had to get rid of.

We use Calphalon and cast iron.
