Oregon used to have this you can't pump your own gas bullshit. They finally voted that out last couple of years.

Henckel and Wusthof are always good for knives. They have different price ranges too. You can get a nice set of either for under $200.00.

Cutco is awesome, but those are crazy expensive. If you go with Henckels stay away from their "Everedge" or whatever it's called. All of the knives are serrated to some extent which causes them to suck.

As for pots and pans, I know All-Clad is really good, but can be pricey. I'm less up to date on pots and pans because I pretty much only use cast iron. We have some Rachael Ray ones that I got my wife years ago when we first started dating. I was making dinner for us at her place and was damn near offended by what she had to cook on. Those are hard anodized and are just now to the point that I'm thinking about replacing a couple of the saucepans.

Oof. Knives are harder to pick out than cookware. You should really hold them to get a good feel for them. I don't know anything about that brand... but they're always sharp out of the box - it's how they hold up that matters. A good, low price option is Victorinox. Shitty handles, but they're decent knives. If you want to go in the mid to high, stay in the Henckels/Zwilling lanes. They can get pricey when you get to the gourmet lines, but they have starter sets that aren't too bad.

For cookware, stainless is my choice (regular All Clad is my main set), but it's also very heavy and takes some getting used to. And you can't put them in the dishwasher. Hard anodized is probably a good option if she likes a more non-stick surface without being "non-stick" since that can take extra care, as well. Calphalon is a good brand for that. Pretty hefty, but not too much. Scanpan has good non-stick sets and they work really well, but if she's mostly needing saucepans and not frypans, the non-stick surface probably doesn't mean much.

I could quite honestly go on forever about it :| There's so many variables.

I think imma just go the semi-cheap route on the knives. She really doesn't use them enough to justify hundreds of bucks on them and i'm pretty sure that's what she would say if I asked her. I think she's just more or less looking for something decent looking aesthetically, not cheap and flimsy, and sharp enough to use every now and then when she uses them. I'll probably shoot for <$100 on those. Idk if this is true or not but I heard someone at work that seems pretty familiar with that kind of stuff say that if you aren't spending a lot on knives then they are almost all pretty similar from a quality standpoint.

On the pots i'm seeing a lot of All-clad, Cuisinart, and Anolon from people. Heavy is probably not so good for her as she's pretty small, getting old, and has a bad shoulder.
