I am buying some good cookware for my 25 year old daughter. She cooks a lot
but is not a professional.

1) What opinion do you all have about the various brands of upper level
cookware (All Clad, Calaphion, Viking, Cuisinart etc.)?

2) What opinion do you all have about types of material (anodized aluminum,
multi-clad, cast iron +/- porceleinc.)?

3) Where is the best place to shop?

Thanks
