A couple years ago, I asked this forum a similar question about cookware. After @KenH and other’s feedback I purchased stainless steel set: 8 & 10 in fry pans, 2qt &4qt pots 8 qt Dutch oven. Then added two nonstick fry pans. The nonstick fry pans must be replaced every year (I buy when on sale at Costco).
I got the pans on clearance on Amazon Woot for less than $70 (I found the set later at a retail shop $180!!!).
Here’s a current clearance set. Includes bowls, measuring cups& spoon, knife set & TRI-PLY cookware!!! Limited quantity so link will expire soon.

Walmart has a nice tri-ply stainless steel set by Tramontina that I purchased for my home.
