Professional cookware has design features that enable chefs to work quickly, productively, consistently, and comfortably. In contrast to lower price mass merchandiser cookware models, professional cookware is built to withstand the wear and tear of constant use, frequent cleaning, and a certain amount of banging around (discouraged but inevitable in a busy kitchen).
Specifically, professional cookware is designed and constructed so it is responsive (heats and cools quickly as a burner is turned up or down), cooks quickly (has full cladding up the sides of the pan), is heavy and sturdy, and is easy to handle. It does not have weaknesses that could shorten its life, such as plastic handles, glass lids, or fragile nonstick coatings.
For home cooks who see cooking as a creative satisfying process rather than a chore, selecting high quality pots and pans from within a professional cookware set could be your best bet. Every kitchen, whether professional or home-based, should have a diverse selection of cookware tools, from food processors and kitchen mixers, to quality bake ware and cake pans, good quality knives, and quality cook top or range.
