Quality cookware is one of the most important long-term investments
you can make as a cook. With proper care, it will last many, many
years, and can even be handed down to the next generation. Think about
it---cooking can be a joy, a wonderful outlet for creativity and
innovation, made all the better by the advantage of being able to taste
and savor the results. It can nourish our bodies, our families, and
our souls. Or it can be a chore, filled with the frustrations of badly
cooked foods and messy clean ups. Perhaps the most important step in
determining which cookware to purchase is identifying which type of cookware best suits your needs.
