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?

We have a spare extra cast iron skillet if you'd like it

Ooh. I was going to suggest a cast-iron skillet. Take this, then go to a good Boston Restaurant Supply house and buy nameless cheap stuff. Whatever you destroy in less than 3 years, buy a nicer version of. What I think you'll find is that 99% of the stuff you get for $20 each at a restaurant supply house will last more cooktop-hours than you'll ever put them through.
