I’ll second the cast iron recommendation. I now have many bare and enameled cast iron pots and pans. I also have a set of stainless but I don’t like those as much.
I bought stainless steel pots and pans over 10 years ago. I have one non stick that I replace every couple years, but stainless steel has been good to me.
My brother will not shut up about how much he loves his carbon steel pan. He complains about 99% of things not being worth the price, but he loves that pan.
I just want some decent cookware without plastic in it.
Just get yourself some cast iron or carbon steel cookware, my good man. It’s cheap and contains no plastic

Cast iron, my dude, or dudette.
Honorable mention: stainless steel
Superior to both but more expensive: carbon steel pan

Legend or All-Clad. Can be expensive, but should last a lifetime.
WMF, Fissler, Zwilling, etc. all make top of the line, buy it for life products. With offerings for really everything I ever wanted.
