Sango Nova What are some good suggestions for good quality, but not too pricey bakeware and dinnerware for a gift?
My favorite look right now is the Sango Nova sets. They are very beautiful w/ warm earthy looks and tones, and at prices I can work with, but according to reviews, crack spontaneously after very light use. I just want nice looking, affordable, and DURABLE cookware (lasagna and casserole dishes) and dinnerware. No silicone. Thank in advance!
Pyrex or Corningware for the casseroles...NO DOUBT!
As for skillets go with a good cast iron pan. A Lodge or even an enameled one. An enameled one will be a bit pricey,but if taken care of both should last forever & a day. I have one that was my great-grams from the turn of the century & use it all the time.
Try to put quality above looks. It's more important in the long run.
If it's going to be used often who cares what it looks like. It's going to get something burned in it eventually then scrubbed & stored in the fridge & so on & so on & probably something with kids & a dog thrown in there too. ; )
If it's going to be more for a 'decoration' hanging on a pot rack...let them buy it themselves. They're the ones who'll have to look at it.
As far as dinnerware go for a plain white or off white that way whatever the sceme in the kitchen/dining room it'll match.
