from $600
The Hestan ProBond Luxe 3.5 Qt. Braiser is a stainless steel braiser, crafted in Italy, designed for versatile cooking. It features a 10.9-inch diameter and is compatible with all heat sources, including induction, and is oven-safe up to 600°F. This 2-piece set, including a braiser and lid, is dishwasher safe for easy cleanup and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
Avoid massive 15-piece sets; you only need a few high-quality pieces (skillet, saucepan, stockpot). Fully clad stainless steel distributes heat much better than pans with just a thick base. Available from $600.
Cookware has no energy cost but requires appropriate utensils and cleaning supplies. Non-stick pans are consumables and must be replaced every few years, while cast iron lasts generations.
