r/cookware is a subreddit with 83k members. The most common kinds of discussions are solution requests and advice requests, and the community frequently discusses pan, cookware, steel, stainless, and stainless steel, and they frequently recommend/review cookware, pots and pans, and stainless steel cookware.
This sub is dedicated to all things cookware related but mostly non disposable pots and pans!
Disposable nonstick cookware is thereby not appreciated and is widely considered a necessary evil for niche cooking tasks at best. Unnuanced nonstick praise/worship is thereby subject to removal.
Helpful advice, along with useful product reviews, are pinned and shared to assist with all your cookware needs. Please review the rules and wiki before making any posts. Happy posting and happy cooking!
