About The Online Cookware Store Guide
The Online Cookware Store Guide is an independent buying guide for pots and pans sets. It is not a store, and we sell nothing.
The name can sound like a shop, so we want to say it plainly: you can't buy cookware from us, and we don't ship, stock or take orders for anything. We help you compare cookware sets before you buy from a store you choose.
What we cover
Our guides cover stainless steel, nonstick, hard-anodized and ceramic cookware sets. We compare brands like Cuisinart, Tramontina, Calphalon, T-fal, GreenPan, HexClad, All-Clad and Made In.
We also answer the questions people ask before they spend money, like how many pieces a set needs, which sets suit a glass top stove and what the markings on a pan mean. We write in everyday words, so you don't need a cook's vocabulary.
What we do
We read the product details, specs and maker information for every set we cover. We also look at what buyers often say after using one.
Then we turn it into plain guides, side-by-side comparisons and clear picks. You can read more on our How we research page.
What we don't do
We don't sell cookware, and no brand pays us to rank its products.
We aren't affiliated with Cuisinart, Tramontina, Calphalon, T-fal, GreenPan, HexClad, All-Clad, Made In or any other cookware maker. We don't make anything either.
We don't claim to have tested every set ourselves. When we pick something, we tell you why, based on its specs, its features and buyer feedback.
How we earn money
Some links on this site go to stores like Amazon. If you buy through them, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.
That never changes which sets we pick. Our affiliate disclosure has the details.
