Right now I'm looking for either I think some ceramic cookware or stainless steel cookware, and I'm trying to make it a buy once cry once type of purchase, which would I think lean more towards stainless. I would just like a recommendation of how to compare durability/food safety and whatnot that isn't paid for via advertising dollars. Even direct recommendations for a brand I can look into are welcome.

Thanks in advance

I got an induction stove a couple years ago and had to replace some of my pans. I went with the Vollrath Optio line and I like them a lot. I chose them for their smooth flat bottoms that are thick, they make good contact with the surface of the stovetop and heat evenly, and bonus no handle screws inside the pans. https://www.vollrathfoodservice.com/products/smallwares/cookware-bakeware/optio-cookware

I have one small non-stick pan I use for eggs and I only use rubber spatulas when cooking with it and a soft dish cloth to clean it.
