Advice for New Cookware.

[Bootobethin]

I have a new kitchen including a new Induction cook top.
I am about to buy new cookware and wanted some advice from other cooks.
Although I mostly use my Thermomix and it now has its own bench space with rangehood I still need a few pots and pans.
Any advice on types and brands others use would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!

When my parents upgraded their kitchen i was dragged along to help. We took a magnet into the shops to test for induction suitability paired with how we liked the look/feel of the cookware.

I'd love to see a pic of your thermomix's home with rangehood. We are planning a new kitchen and am thinking about suitable 'homes' for my tmx.... at the moment I think it will live out on the bench but also have a second home with exhaust fan in the walk in pantry for when it is a bit noisy.

We put induction in when we did our new kitchen 2.5yrs ago, I love it (when I use it, I use TM alot more tho) and would not go back to non-induction if I had any choice. My dad actually paid the difference so I could have it as he love the safety factor of it. My saucepan set is 'zip' brand (I got it in NZ before I was married from 'The Warehouse' so is not an expensive brand but is still going strong after 8.5years, I have no complaints about the quality at all.)  I did get a free Raco set with my cooktop which I sold on-line as I didn't need or want any more saucepans, the lady that brought them loves them so may help...?
Good luck with choosing.

We have an induction holster we use in the caravan. We had to buy new pots for it. I took a magnet too. We eventually bought a set from Big W as they won't get a lot of use. It has been very good. It was about $50 for the set and they have glass lids and look lovely.
