What are some good but inexpensive cookware to buy?
I'm moving out on my own and need some cookware. I'm not a heavy cooker, but I do cook occasionally and would like some decent cookware. I've done some research and I'm pretty sure I want to try this stainless steel stuff. In the past, we've used non-stick, but they get scratched up and you have to use flimsy plastic utensils.
I'm just not sure what brand to buy. All-Clad seems the best, but I don't want to spend that kind of money. I've seen sets by Paula Dean, T-Fal, Cuisinart, Farberware, Kitchenaid, and JCP. Because I'm anal and picky about what I have, I'd like to purchase a set where I have the option to add on cookware later that are the same brand and same style...so they'll match.
I know this is a rather difficult question since there are going to be some bias in the answers, but that's fine. I just need to pick something out quickly as I'll be moving in the next couple of days.
What about this hard anodized aluminum? I've been seeing that around and from what I've read, it's up there with stainless steel.

I bought a stainless steel faberware set from walmart and it has lasted quite nicely. I dont reccomend nonstick because it is REALLY bad for your health. Stainless steel is best. (Also, don't buy any that are just alluminum or painted. Those are really bad).

Buy a stainless set, check around for sale prices, check Winners maybe for a discounted set but check prices elsewhere before you buy. Many brands are good. I have L'Agostina and like it a lot. Ikea has good stuff. Make sure the set you buy has a sandwich bottom with stainless outside and copper or aluminum inside, that it has a little weight to it, make sure it's suitable for induction cooking(has to be magnetic)because lots of us will be cooking on that in the future. I prefer metal lids to glass. I wouldn't worry about matching it later. Styles change, and your chances of getting an identical thing in 5 years is poor, and besides, stainless cookware is about function not looks. Save that for what you put on the table. Sets are the most economical way to buy if you're starting fresh. Look for a good deal but don't go too cheap. Buy the good stuff and you'll be cooking with it the rest of your life, so it ends up very economical in the long run.

purchase your self a newbie's set of pots and pans - and do not ignore a respectable frying pan. you'll get those at WlMart, BedBath&previous and different similar places. Being you're a student, dodge searching at or paying for All Clad. they are astounding pots and pans - yet will value more desirable than your instructions GBG.
