Right now I'm looking for either I think some ceramic cookware or stainless steel cookware, and I'm trying to make it a buy once cry once type of purchase, which would I think lean more towards stainless. I would just like a recommendation of how to compare durability/food safety and whatnot that isn't paid for via advertising dollars. Even direct recommendations for a brand I can look into are welcome.

Thanks in advance

I bought cheap tri-ply stainless steel set and a couple carbon steel pans from

https://www.webstaurantstore.com/

For less than $300 for the whole set.

If it's good enough for a professional kitchen it's more than enough for the rest of us.

Edit: This was 4 years ago and everything is still in great shape and is used constantly. The stainless is as good as any tri-ply. Vigor stainless steel and Vollrath carbon steel. Can't go wrong at the price really.
