Comments (4)When I had to get new cookware for induction, I went by how comfortable it felt in my hand. This will be different for everyone (has to do with weight and handle style). I ended up with Farberware Classic, which is the same thing I had before but the new version works on induction. I only bought the individual pots that I needed, not a boxed set; I don't think their nonstick skillets are induction-compatible. All my skillets are cast iron anyway. I also have an enameled cast iron Dutch oven (Fontignac, from BB&B) and love it. I'd say go round to a few stores that carry cookware and take a magnet with you, and try things out until you find one that feels right in your hand. I was willing to buy something more expensive if I needed to, but Farberware really was more comfortable for me than brands with long handles (plus I knew the handles would stay cool)....See MoreX-Post on Appliances Need new not high-end cookware for induction
Comments (12)Among your options, I would far prefer to cook with the Tramontina tri-ply, and their 10-piece set contains no extraneous pieces. What you are paying for in cookware is a vessel that distributes heat evenly whether on a cooktop or in an oven. In order for heat to be distributed evenly, you need thick layers of metal. Pick up the Tramintina - it is much heavier than the other two options. It is also going to provide the most even heat distribution. It's a good pan. You're also going to need a cast iron skillett and a non-stick omelette pan that you can replace regularly as it fails. You could buy a Circulon pan for that, but note that the Circulon set you're considering is all non-stick. You'll be replacing them all in a year, two at the most. FYI for cast iron you would look to Lodge. My honest opinion is that having spent a fair amount of money on the cooktop, there is little logic in skimping on the cookware that makes it work so well. Why not buy the All-Clad at this point? The 10-piece Tri-ply Stainless set is on sale now and will cost you $400 more that the ones you're looking at (vs. $800 normally), and you will have them and love them for a lifetime. I guarantee that if you buy a set of anything else and a single AC sautee pan, you'll reach for the AC every time....See MoreElizabeth
