I recommend Staub cast iron pots. Well, I generally like cooking with cast iron as it retains heat exceptionally well, most untreated cast iron tends to rust easily. Staub doesn't require any oil conditioning, so it should be a much better option for you 

Staub cast iron pots (called Cocottes) are perfect for slow-cooking, roasting, or even baking. 

Staub’s self-basting lids help keep food moist and flavorful, which is a nice bonus. The pieces are made to last for decades, so it’s an investment that pays off in the long run. And with their stunning colors and finishes, Staub cookware doubles as a serving piece straight from the oven to the table.

Mauviel copper cookware is one of those things that’s worth the splurge, even if you're not cooking all the time. The quality is just insane—copper heats up super evenly, so you can control the temperature perfectly. It's the kind of cookware that, when taken care of, can literally last for decades. So even if you're only cooking a few times a week, you won't need to keep replacing it like with cheaper pots and pans. Besides, it just looks gorgeous in the kitchen! It's more of an investment upfront, but you won’t have to buy new cookware for a long, long time.
