Two of my kitchen work horses---the cast iron skillet I suspect is older than me---it came from my Mother.
I have all of her cast ironware, some of which are no longer made. One is a pot about 14" in diameter and 6" deep with a lid. It is thin wall for cast iron at about 3/16". That is my chili and paella pot and works as well over a fire as on the stove :droll:

Other heavily used:

8" GreenPan (breakfast)
10" non-stick skillet
12" steel skillet
12" SS skillet (clad)


All of my pots are clad, be they copper or SS outside. I use my copper clad pots heavily because I like the look but will admit I see no benefit in performance when compared with my SS clad pots.

I also will add, I doubt that instant pot will ever make the list of favored pots and pans.
