| After cooking, rest this simple, square baker in its rustic, handwoven basket. The basket serves as a trivet, keeping both your tabletop and your hands safe from the hot substances inside. |

This copper saucepan is so pretty that I would not hesitate to set it on a pot holder in the middle of the table.

| I love my Le Creuset French oven so much that I leave it in plain sight when I'm not using it. It sits pretty on top of my fridge and on the dining table. |

I trust my stoneware bakers to produce evenly baked goods and provide easy cleanup. This classic baker comes in a cork carrier that doubles as a trivet.

| This handmade ceramic pot can go from the stove to the oven to the table. Made in the village of La Chamba in Colombia, this vessel would look at home on the table or on a museum shelf. |

Buy a set of heavy-gauge, polished stainless steel tools and they will last you for the rest of your life. These All-Clad beauties are functional on the stove and make pretty serving tools on the table.

A good-size All-Clad sauté pan with a lid will serve you well. Brown, sear or deglaze, and then move it from the stovetop to the oven to the table. It'll be a fixture in your kitchen forever.

I am kind of obsessed with ramekins. I use them to prep ingredients for elaborate recipes and to store small amounts of leftovers. I love baking individual servings of desserts in them too.

| Emile Henry's baker is a classic. Bonus: Williams-Sonoma says that the Burgundian clay retains heat exceptionally well. |

olldbobbi My cook/bakeware needs replacing so desparately! Most of these are beautiful and could work in almost any decor or table setting. Lots to think about.....

midmodfan Serving food in the same dish it was cooked in also means that you use more beautiful dishes. As a Williams Sonoma (et al.) addict, I like many of these examples and have quite a collection myself. I'm almost glad that my storage space is limited - ha.

tradess2012 After having mostly yellow and orange Le Creuset baking/stove ware, I am ready for black pieces now....can't wait to get to Williams Sonoma and West Elm to buy some new pieces.

sclawson Love my All-Clad cookware. The stainless steel is naturally stick resistant if used correctly. I have 2 of the covered saute pans and a stockpot. Hope to buy more as $$ allow. I also have Le Creuset pans, which are great for making sauces, but as I age I find I'm having more difficulty lifting them. And though I loved the color I chose when I purchased them, I'm onto a different aesthetic now. Have had some problems with each brand, and both manufacturers stand behind the lifetime warranty.
