Where Can I Get a Good Set of Cast Iron Cookware?

Edit: Thank you, everyone, for providing such great information! Truly, thank you!

I'm looking to buy someone a set of good cookware. Hopefully, I'll have them to gift in time for Christmas. My kitchen consists of a pot, pan, and a rice cooker (probably all from Big Lots or something), so I'm in over my head here.

In talking to people IRL, I've been told Amazon is not a good place for a quality set - which I believe based on mixed reviews of my recent purchases and my own lack of knowledge on what makes a good set. I was also told to search antique stores and consignment shops for pieces. So, I'm doing that without much luck as, again, I'm just out of my depth and it's possible it will take much longer to find enough pieces to make a complete set (between 5 and 9-ish).

Does anyone have recommendations for what I should look for in a good pot/pan? Or, what are some solid brands that someone who loves to cook would be proud to own?

I'm not sure what is a good budget. Is anywhere between 500 and 1000 USD a good start?

Thanks for any advice you can give.

Is there a website similar to the now-defunct RedFizz[.]com?

That site allowed musicians to create and upload music and then other musicians could rate, critique, and collaborate on said music. You could even download tunes and I've got SO much great music still on my phone from those artists. And, it was a fun, supportive community.

I apologize for spamming all the Ask Lemmy communities. I can delete if desired. Or, post in a more appropriate community.

Looking to Purchase a Possible King Cleveland 615

I want to purchase another tenor as I've given up on my Bundy and my other will be in the shop for a good while. I found a sax that looks... serviceable? And, it could be the tone I want. But, the stenciling and serial 733XXX kinda makes me believe this isn't a true King Cleveland 615. Maybe one of you have more insight into the history and artistry of these? Is this what the seller says it is? (I might could get more pics if needed.)

If this instrument is what the seller says it is, I'll probably pull the trigger and give it some serious TLC once my other instrument is back in playing shape.

Thanks, all!

Supreme Court: Drivers hauling baked goods are in transportation, not baking

But the Supreme Court’s April 12 ruling that they are in the transportation business opens the door for them to take the dispute to court.

That’s because the FAA — in its very first section — exempts from its mandate several types of workers, such as railroad employees and “any other class of workers engaged in foreign or interstate commerce.”
