CUISINART or KITCHENAID stainless steel cookware????

I don't think it matters what brand you buy. They're tools, as long as it's the right tool for the job. I love my kitchenaid mixer, but I don't think I'd give up the cuisinart cookware if I had it.

Cuisinart Vs Kitchenaid

For me, they are about the same. Ten should be a great start so you don't really need to purchase the Kitchenaid unless you want to. I find the Calphalon and All Clad pro series to be very heavy and difficult to use regardless of their cost. Try your Cuisinart and see how you like it.

Calphalon makes some of the best cookware available. I have a 2-quart Cuisinart nonstick saucepan and it works. It is lighter in weight than the Calphalon. You could also check out the Costco cookware, if you have access to Costco. My set is getting close to 10 years old and is holding up well.

Kitchenaid

Over the years I've used very few items in my kitchen and I used to cook a lot. Why spend the money when you don't have to. Showing other people that you cook a lot or have good taste, well people just don't care about that anymore so you won't influence them if that was your point. Of course, if you plan to hang it on the wall as a decoration then pick something that shines and won't tarnish too quickly, or buy plastic.

Just keep the ones you bought, unless you see otherwise that they have to much lead, or have less quality than the other. How well they are for you. I don't know if you are a serious cook or not, but thats up to you. You need to live with them for a while to see which cookware is best for you.

stainless steel is the way to go. even better is glass and clay though.
