I am not a fan of bakeware sets. Especially those sets with a lot of items. I'm convinced that you get better cookware by selecting each piece individually, based on its own merits and your unique needs. I'm not a one-size-fits-all sort of gal -- some may even call me high-maintenance when ...

Pyrex has always been a part of the kitchen for me. I grew up using Corningware bowls (a division of Pyrex) in my mother's house, and acquired a set when I lived in my first apartment via the local thrift store. That speaks as well to the durability of the product. ...

This set is made of aluminum. Let's start there. Many people get professional results using aluminum. They are sturdy but lightweight and, for the most part, provide an even temperature distribution. But I find them difficult to clean. It may be me -- maybe I'm not greasing them well ...

This set has everything you need and nothing you don't. You have a nice-sized 10-by-15-inch cookie pan, a rectangular cake pan and two 9-inch round cake pans (so you have the flexibility to make several types of cakes). And I would use this rectangular cake pan for lasagna - it's the ...

Aah, Bundt cakes. Very popular in Minnesota, where I grew up. Everyone has at least two of these pans in their kitchen. The one you "borrowed from Mom" and never returned, and the one Mom gave you for Christmas in the hopes of getting hers back.

Cuisinart has produced a nice heavy ...

You can get these two pans for a great value with this set. Let's start with the baking sheet. I love it. I prefer insulated baking sheets since I have a tendency to over-brown my cookies -- or, to be more honest, to scorch them into unrecognizable charcoal lumps. This sheet is ...

Thirty-seven pieces of bakeware? That's insane. Who needs that much bakeware, you wonder? I was skeptical that these pieces were all necessary. Well, let's take a look at the set and see:

In the past, I've just bought the most inexpensive baking sheets possible, figuring that most baking sheets were going to wear down pretty quickly, anyway. I didn't believe that a long-lasting baking sheet really existed. It was like a mythical creature that was rumored to exist but never actually seen.

As a result ...

Ah, Madeleines. Still considered a gourmet treat in the US, although as common as cookies in England and other European countries. I was smitten from my college days in London. On the way home I'd buy a bag full, still warm and fragrant from the corner Patisserie to enjoy with ...

Of all the items in my kitchen, my favorites bear the Le Creuset brand. It's not an inexpensive brand, so the ramekins are a great way to get a little bit of Creuset cachet for not a lot of cash. These are pieces that I display proudly on my open ...

I don't bake cakes. But now that I'm a mom I am determined to try my had at something more than a store-bought, boxed cake mix in a rectangle shaped pan with frosting from a tin.

This petal-shaped cake pan set includes 6, 9, 12, and 15-inch flower-shaped cake pans. Together, they ...

Good ol' Farberware. It feels like they've been around forever. One of those brands that I recall from my childhood or something. (And I just Googled them to see how long they've been around, and it is over 100 years, so I'm not imagining this.) I swear my grandmother had ...

It's easy to use and clean. The pizzas slide ...

I don't know about you, but I don't have any problems cleaning my cookie sheets. Simply wipe them down with hot water and dish washing soap, then put them in the dish rack and let them dry. It's not very complicated, so I'm not sure why the ease of ...

Maybe I'm missing something. A baking pan that creates more edges? It's made of heavy cast aluminum and boasts patented sidewalls that circulate heat to the pan's middle where food typically takes longer to bake.

Its somewhat unusual size-- 13.5 x 9 x 2-- still works well for recipes ...
