I need to get some new cookware for our second home. We maybe renting this home out to snowbirds for 3-4 months in the winter, and maybe airbnb type stuff the rest of the year when we are not using. Should I just go cheap as I can? Or get something a little more heavy duty? We plan to use this residence a lot, so I will be using the cookware a lot also. The house has a electric cook top  if that matters at all? I've never really cooked on electric, so I really have no idea if it matters much. Do I go with regular non-stick? Stainless? Copper bottom? Don't want to spend more than $100-$150 if possible. |
| Lots of good info in this thread. I asked the same question a few years ago. Went with commercial grade stuff and could not be happier. Just need to get a few pieces to fill in the gaps. |

Renting it out, don't get any non-stick, it will just get ruined. Restaurant supply store was a great recommendation. Used, preferably.
Beyond that, consumer grade companies just seem to fluctuate wildly in quality. I've had Calphalon crap I couldn't wait to get rid of...and I have a Calphalon pot I'd run into a burning house to save. |
