There's a world of cookware out there, but there's no need to purchase it all. One essential is a large sauté pan. Sauce pans are also useful - look for pots with thicker walls for even heating. You'll also need one large stock pot. Additionally, a good non-stick sauté pan is also critical. A turkey roaster - or large roasting pan - is another kitchen essential. Look for one with a rack. Other options include a Dutch oven for long braising or stews, a cast-iron griddle pan for searing, and a wok.
