Spending More on High Quality Cookware
If you are about to buy your first real cookware set, you may be taken back by the exorbitant price tags on the sets from makers like Calphalon, Viking and the like. $700 for a 10 piece high quality cookware set is not uncommon and while this may seem like an awful sum of money for pots and pans, consider it to be an investment for a couple of reasons.
You Get What You Pay For
Just like Jimmy Choo shoes and Prada bags have a high price tag attached to them for the status; it is also for the quality of the product. This means that not only will you be adding some pizzazz to your kitchen with high quality cookware; you can be assured of a good product. If the prices seem too high, buy one piece at a time. That way you will not be compromising on quality and also be adding to your collection. Some people love their high quality cookware so much that they like to hang their pots and pans from an upside down rack over the stove where gleaming exteriors and shiny interiors add an extra special touch to their kitchen décor plus are very handy to reach.
Healthy Cooking
While of course the ingredients you put in a dish are crucial, the high quality cookware also contributes to a healthy meal. This is because poor quality or very old and rusty pots and pans can be harmful to the health of your family as the non-stick film starts chipping away and getting mixed in the food.
Easy Maintenance
High quality cookware is also relatively easy to maintain because of its superior quality. Many brands are 100 per cent dishwasher safe and have a very long warranty, often lifetime against manufacturing defects. This shows that while the cost may be steep upfront, you will not be buying a new cookware set every couple of years.
Interest in Kitchen
Some people are so bored of cooking that they rely on take outs and microwaveable dinners for their family. However if you have some spunky cookware that promises easier, quicker and more flavorful cooking with less hassle, you just might be motivated to get out the recipe book your mother gave you on your wedding and start making something. And then, when you remember you have paid so much money for that high quality cookware, you think it would be such a waste to just let it sit there. Bon appétit!
