There isn’t a one size fits all answer. You know better than any of us what you use. If you’re just starting to cook then yes, it’s possible you’ll realize later there’s more stuff you need, but if you’re reasonably experienced I don’t think you’ll suddenly discover a burning passion for some pan that’s currently collecting dust. Probably pretty safe to just get rid of whatever you don’t use. But if you want specific advice, it’d probably be helpful to tell us what you actually have and use. More on reddit.com

Often called a soup pot. Brazier when it's wider and lower. Stock por when it's taller and narrower. There isn't really a single term for the category. More on reddit.com

If you're trying to get a matching set, you're going to have a bad time. Nothing in a set will ever perform as well as individual pieces suited for what you want to do. It sounds like you want to spend money as opposed to get the best quality. In that case a French copper set is probably your best bet. There are more expensive sets, but then you get into waiting for them to be made and even a desire to spend (and brag) runs into a lack of patience. If you just want really good cookware that'll last you forever and will work well (and won't scream to everyone you're a poseur) that's a much longer answer. But "how much money can I spend on a set with a credit card on a website right now?"...maybe start with Mauviel. You can spend (a lot) more, but even the people selling you the more expensive stuff will tell you it becomes about preference and not quality at that point. More on reddit.com
