Pots, pans, serving dishes and ovenware

I don't know where to start with being an adult about all of these. We have a motley collection of things that are either old and knackered, or the wrong size, or just not right.
I need a list of 'setting up home' equipment (even though I am far too old to be asking about this), and wondered how many, and what type, you had of:
saucepans
frying pans
serving dishes/plates
oven trays and dishes

It really depends on what you like, what you cook, how many you cook for and how much you want to spend.

I have three Le Creuset saucepans that I bought second hand and two large casserole pans that I bought new - cost a fortune, but after twenty years were replaced free of charge by Le Creuset. They are very heavy.

One frying pan/wok and one pancake pan. Both cheap and cheerful but not used so often.

Four of us but I often cook for more. Two big lasagne dishes and half a dozen smaller ones for individual dinners. All double up as serving dishes.

Two large stainless trays for cookies etc. Two deep stainless tins that are used for tear and share bread, brownies and other traybakes. From Ikea. Two 7" sandwich tins and two cake tins, both springform. Two pizza baking tins. Two loose bottomed quiche tins. Two muffin/yorkshire pudding trays. Two loaf tins. A large enamel pie dish.

I bet I have more, even though I thinned out my collection.

Moving house sorted this out for me.

There are 3/4 boxes of cookware in the garage that remain unopened and unused.

I have two very good casserole pots, a pot that does lasagne and baked dishes, a couple of roasting tins, 4 good saucepans of different sizes and a ceramic frying pan.

I hadn't a 3 tier steamer which is useful too.

If I'm serving food in dishes I'll uses normal crockery bowls.
