What Type of Cookware Is the Most Expensive?
When shopping for cookware, you’ll notice that prices range significantly between brands.
The factors that have the most significant impact on price include the materials, how it’s made, where it’s produced, and the brand’s reputation. Let’s look at each of these in a bit more depth.
Materials
Cookware made with more expensive materials, such as premium stainless steel and copper, are more expensive than cooking made with cheaper materials.
For example, aluminum cookware with a PTFE coating (traditional non-stick cookware) is significantly less expensive than stainless steel cookware with a copper core and steel lid.
Materials also impact the longevity of the cookware. Aluminum with PTFE coating only lasts between one and five years. Stainless steel and other, more expensive materials can last for a lifetime.
Construction
The way cookware is made has a major impact on price.
Fully clad (or multi-clad) cookware is expensive because it’s made with multiple layers of bonded metal. In general, the more layers, the more expensive. For example, 5-ply cookware costs more than 3-ply, and 7-ply costs more than 5-ply.
Also, cookware that’s hand-made or hand-finished is much more expensive than cookware that’s mass produced by machine.
