Which is a better buy: Wolfgang Puck or Emeril Cookware sets?
I am looking into purchasing a professional-grade yet affordable cookware set. I have seen both of these as highly recommended, however the emeril is slightly more expensive. Can anyone recommend which is a better purchase? I need stainless steel, over safe, and am an avid amateur chef so quality and performance is very important. (I am also open to other suggestions if you have). Thank You!
You DO get what you pay for, and good quality cookware is definitely worth the money. As an avid amateur chef, you might want to ask yourself if you will really use all the things that come in a set. My passion is cooking, and, for me, it seems like sets have lots of items I wouldn’t use, or would use infrequently at best.
Maybe you should think about what’s important to you and what type of cooking you do, then shop for individual pieces. I have found that I actually prefer to have different brands of various cookware, because one company might make what I think is the best Sauce Pan, but another company makes a better saute pan. Maybe you never make soup or stock, so why have a stockpot?
A selection of cookware that is ideal for YOU shouldn’t cost more than a pre-selected set. If you live where there is a cookware store you might start there. If you have Linens and Things stores or something like that, you can handle a large variety of cookware before you make your decision. Pick it up, see how it feels in your hands. Do you like the glass lids like the Emeril set has? Is it important to have something oven-proof. Do you want an anodized or nonstick finish?
Whatever you do, enjoy your new cookware.
