Stovetop heating vessels
Cookware is the collection of pots, pans, and similar vessels used for cooking.
The term usually refers to stovetop items—saucepans, skillets, stockpots, Dutch ovens—rather than baking dishes or small appliances.
We registered for a new cookware set for the wedding.
Cookware is often categorized by material: cast iron, stainless steel, nonstick, copper.
