Hestan Nanobond cookware is awesome because it combines cutting-edge technology with top-notch performance. It’s made with a unique nanolayering process, which gives it a super durable surface that’s scratch-resistant and resistant to tarnishing. You can even use metal utensils without worrying about damaging it. It's a huge pro for me because I don't use wooden utensils (too lazy to handwash, lol). It heats up quickly and evenly, so your food cooks perfectly every time. It’s also dishwasher-safe and easy to clean, which is a huge plus. And let’s be real—it just looks sleek and professional in the kitchen. It’s like having restaurant-quality cookware at home.

Hestan has 5 different collections - from a more budget-friendly option to a premium line. If your budget allows it, I'd go with the Nanobond.

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.

Saladmaster cookware is worth the investment if you’re serious about healthy cooking and want something that’ll last a lifetime. It’s made from high-quality stainless steel and designed to cook food without added oils or fats, which is great for people looking to eat clean. My mom has a set and she swears by it. 

I heard it heats really evenly and retains nutrients better. It’s super durable, too, —many people including my mom use it for decades without needing to replace it. It’s not cheap, but if you’re looking for long-lasting, health-focused cookware, it’s a solid choice.
