What are some features to look for when choosing stovetop-to-oven cookware?

Check that the stovetop-to-oven cookware works on your particular type of stove burners. Next, check the maximum safe oven temperature for the cookware. Some stovetop-to-oven cookware is only safe to 500 F, so won't be suitable for recipes cooked at higher oven temperatures. Look for double ovenproof handles to make it easier to move heavier items from the stovetop to the oven rack.

Is it better to buy cookware sets or individual pieces of cookware as you need them?

Most home cooks have a few go-to pots and pans they use for the majority of their cooking. If you're one of those cooks, selecting your favorite individual cookware pieces is wise. If you do a variety of cooking from baking pies to roasting veggies, a complete cookware set is a cost-effective way to have the tools you need for everything from muffins to pasta.

Are there any space-saving nonstick cookware sets?

If you're cooking for one person, choose a set of single-serve cookware that takes up minimal space on a shelf or wall. Stackable nonstick cookware sets include kitchen tools like stock pots, frying pans, skillets, and lids that store in one space-preserving stackable column.
