Setting Up A Kitchen - Suggestions Needed. by mrmofasa(m): 5:30pm On Jan 28, 2016
I just moved into a new apartment and I want to set up my kitchen to be as comfortable as possible on a slightly limited budget.

Why? I enjoy cooking and see the kitchen as a place to unwind and be creative.

First, what kind of pots should I buy - Aluminum or Stainless? I would be grateful if the pros and cons of each choice is explained.

Secondly, which is better - stainless, wooden or plastic utensils i.e spatula?

For pots I would say go for non stick pots cos it's easy to wash and if u check your food regularly while cooking you will have less or no burnt food unlike aluminums pot that burns food. If you are using non stick pots i will recommend wooden spoons, spatula and the rest. Every utensils u use to turn or check your food while cooking with non stick pots should be wood.

No cutehector.
Op I suggest saintless steel.
A nonstick pans coating can start to come off in your food after awhile.

Thank you for the link, QueenValerie.
I am more informed now.

Good quality stainless steel cooking pots and pans seem to be the best choice.

I am looking towards wooden and stainless utensils to go along with the pots. Heard the wood adds extra flavour/tinge to the food.

Sure.
I think having a mix of both would be good,stainless steel utensils and wood.
