Too much stuff for cooking for one. A stockpot, really? I use one at the church, but at home a six-quart dutch oven is big enough. Buy one frying pan, add other cookware as you feel the need. You can warm soup in a skillet just fine.
Ironware is not only not inexpensive, it’s not available. A Lodge skillet is useless unless you need an extra-large nutmeg grater, and it’s not cheap. To get a fryable iron skillet, you have to haunt antique stores and garage sales until you get lucky — and the odds are that the dealer knows what he’s got and prices it accordingly.

Yep, cast iron pots are amazing, big fan of them.

Nah, not for me. They have a tendency to rust if one can’t find the time to properly maintain them…I’m fond of Corningware glass pots, myself.

I’ve a good, heavy, stick proof skillet that I swear by.

First time I heard about Soda Bread… is like Dr. Pepper hot?

@Neo Stryker: it is bread that uses soda instead of yeast as a leaving agent. I haven’t baked any though. Have a blessed day.

The new non-stick ceramic skillets are fine, and inexpensive. A 3 quart saucepan is good too.
