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 have no experience of my own, but at least in my country, IKEA offers a 15 year warranty on their stainless steel cookware, except the ones with nonstick coating (which isn't nearly as durable). It's fairly affordable too. I'm thinking of replacing some nonstick pans of mine with their stainless steel offerings, but haven't yet pulled the trigger.

I figured it might be interesting to add here because it's one of the few companies that sells in most of the western world and I believe the lineup is similar everywhere. If anyone has experience with their cookware, I'd be happy to hear about it.
