Quality pots and pans are a very important tool in the cook's kitchen. The best pots and pans have a thick botton and walls to heat evenly and hold temperature. Copper is a great conducter of heat and very beautiful to display, but it is VERY evpensive and has to be retinned after a certain amount of time of they could release toxic levels of copper into the food. Cast Iron is great for searing meats, but not good for sauteeing or making sauces. Nonstick is nice for somethings, but it won't produce a nicely browned exterior on your food. When buying, remember to get a good heavy piece that has metal handles so it can go from stovetop to oven.
