Aluminum is the best material for all-around kitchen use as it is lightweight, attractive, and less expensive to purchase. Stainless steel is more durable than aluminum but also more expensive. Glass and ceramic materials are suitable for baking, while cast iron pans require seasoning to prevent rusting.
