A cookware set for a large family should have

Dutch oven

Dutch ovens are a must-have for every large family. This is the kitchenware equivalent of a swiss army knife. It can be used to braise, roast, bake and even fry food. It acts as a roasting pan, baking pan and stew pot. With its thick walled construction it retains heat well. One brand that stands out from the rest is Le Creuset .

Steamer baskets

Steamer baskets are a great way to multitask.  A steamer basket is a dish that serves the purpose of steaming vegetables, fruits and other foods. You can steam food in it and cook potatoes or rice in it.  There are different types of steamer baskets, depending on their size and shape. If you have a large family you may need to have several steamer baskets for all your needs.

Cast iron skillets or pans

Cast iron skillets and pans are commonly used in food preparation. They come in different shapes, sizes and materials. Cast iron skillets can last a lifetime if given proper care. They conduct heat well and have even heating distribution.

Large stock pots

Large stock pots are great for large families or parties because they make it easy to boil water, cook pasta, boil rice and make sauces. They can also be used as a deep fryer depending on their size

Cast iron griddles

Cast iron griddles are commonly used to make pancakes, but they can also be used to grill meat and fish.

 

Woks

Woks are commonly used to make Chinese dishes. They are deep bowls with a flat bottom and sloping sides. Woks come in different sizes and materials. The best wok to use is one that is made of cast iron because it heats up quickly, cooks food evenly and retains heat well.

Many places where you can buy kitchenware don’t give detailed information about their merchandise or have been known to just try and sell you the product without any knowledge of what you are looking for.
