When it comes to the essentials in your kitchen, a good set of pots and pans is at the top of the list. Whether yours are past their prime or you’re just ready for something new, there are options out there. Sets can run from less than $100 to $600 and come in a range of materials, sizes and colors. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite cookware at kohl's that can take your cooking to the next level.
Made In
There’s nothing like a professional-grade kitchenware set to make you feel like you belong in Gordon Ramsey’s kitchen (even if you’re not). We love Made In because its pots and pans are designed to chefs’ specifications and used in their restaurants night after night. It’s a little pricier than some other cookware, but we think it’s worth the investment.
Stainless steel is a sturdy, reliable material that holds heat well and won’t react to acidic foods. It’s also easy to clean and works on induction cooktops. You’ll find plenty of stainless steel cookware sets at Kohl’s, including this All-Clad D3 seven-piece set for $550. If you prefer a more pared-down set, this Calphalon stackable stainless steel one has the fry pan, chef’s pan and stockpot with lids you need for most recipes.
Hard anodized cookware is another durable option for busy kitchens. It’s a bit more expensive than nonstick, but it lasts longer and is a little easier to clean. It’s a great choice for cooks who cook frequently or are looking to upgrade their kitchens. Caraway is one brand that has a hard anodized set with a rosy hue that’s really Instagrammable, or try Smithey’s sets in enamel and enhanced nonstick, which have a similar coloration and perform similarly.
