Thoughts on New Cookware

[SabreKai]

When I finally get back to living aboard, I'll take the Lagostina set I bought a couple of years ago. SS, look a lot like the picture Jedi posted. No non-stick, just plain stainless steel.

im not a fan of massively heavy cookware on a boat, was on a trip where the Lecruset stype pot got thrown across the boat, damm thing was dangerous!.

is why i love cabinet doors.. place heavy cookware inside, close and latch door-- stays put.

The noise is upsetting to me

I have the non stick nesting set and a full set of silicone baking pans. Silicone are easy to store,clean and make no noise.

I like the sort of cooking ware that is SS tops with copper (?) bottoms. At least this is how it looks. Ours are Italian. Great stuff - the food boils evenly from the whole area and the ware is much less sticky than the pure SS types.

Thrown by the boat or the cook?

when we move aboard, you can bet my swiss diamond fry pan is coming with me. Best non-stick pan made, IMO. No non-stick coating, guaranteed for life. The non-stick is actually integral to the pan and will not flake off. (So, they say and it hasn't yet)

Also will be bringing my pressure cooker. I don't know how I cooked before I got a pressure cooker, that thing is amazing.

I love kitchen gadgets, my problem will be trying to bring too much aboard. What items do you really need? What do you have?

1 large frypan
1 medium saucepan
1 pressure cooker

Do I need anything more than that as far as cookware is concerned?

I like the idea of nesting pans, but all the examples shown here have removable handles, which I do not like so much.

At the Southampton Boat show in Sept, I saw a set of nesting pans where the handles were fixed and nested also. They were a brilliant design and I have been looking for them ever since. Does anyone know where to get them? The first 100 pages of google only show the normal removable handle type!!

I love my set of nesting cookware from Fagor. The removable handles really grip. Pots are heavy stainless steel, not nonstick, and they work on all burners including an induction cooktop.
