If you’ve been shopping for a new cookware piece and ended up leaving the store (or closing out the browser) empty-handed and confused, that’s ok, we get it. Cookware is a gigantic category that has so many subcategories and one-off, recipe-specific, specialty uses, that it can quickly become overwhelming to sort through. Do you need a non-stick or a stainless-steel pan? Is a ceramic or an enamel baking dish better for your casserole? What exactly is a Dutch oven and do you really need one? The questions could go on for days.
If this is your experience, we’re here to help. We’ve rounded up the cookware in our Shop, broke down the different materials they’re made from and the suggested uses, and even included a few recipes that are ideal for each. Keep reading for our quick and easy cookware 101.
