Any half way decent pots and pans will last you decades. I have a set of stainless steel pans that I bought nearly forty years ago that are in near perfect condition and in use several times a week now but every day when my children were growing up. And really there isn't much to learn about cooking healthy food. Most of the fancy techniques don't apply. And you can get perfectly good utensils like spatulas and ladles, etc., for a dollar each or visit a charity shop (thrift store in the US).
