You have an empty kitchen and $250.  What cookware set do you get and why?

As reported in keyne's LJ, most of our cookware has still not turned up after a couple of weeks of unpacking.  There are still some boxes where some of it might be hidden, but their numbers are dwindling.  A cast-iron skillet and Dutch oven are versatile things but we are getting to the point where we are ready to buy a new cookware set.

Whatever we get needs to be easy to store, as our new kitchen is a lot shorter on storage space than the last one.  So options which stack well will get bonus points.

But forget all of htat.  You have an empty kitchen and $250.  What do you buy to cook with?

I haven't used this cookware. But, a friend just bought it and really likes it, and I would love to look it over.

This plus a couple of silicone spatulas and a big strainer might help fill the cookware gap?

I've built a real distaste for nonstick cookware over the years, I'm afraid. :/ I did go out and buy silicone spatulas last week, and we have some colanders that survived....
