Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This cookware set makes preparing meals easy - we love the balanced weight, even heating, and nonstick surfaces in both skillets and pots. We've been using daily for about a month, and here is what we've noticed:
Pros:
- HEATING: Very even (we have a gas range)
- WEIGHT: Very light and balanced (I thought they were too light to cook well, but they actually do! They are also balanced if you try to pick them up while full.)
- COOKING: Very even cooking across surface (no hot or cold spots)
- LIDS: Clear glass lids (you can boil water faster with lid on and actually see when it's ready)
- HANDLES: Silicone pads on handles help to keep the grip cooler (but I still need hot pads to fully pick pots up)
- SURFACE: Non-stick works very well. Normally stuck-on food releases easily. (But the coating is already starting to scratch - see below)
Cons:
- SCRATCHES: Non-stick is already showing small scratches even though we only use nylon & silicon utensils. Have owned these for about a month of daily use.
- BOLTS: Bolts where handles attach to cookware on inside can be difficult to clean around after, say, scrambled eggs
- SMALL SKILLETS: Skillets (8.5- and 10-inch) are smaller than they sound. (Room for one/two eggs or one pancake or one sandwich. They aren't meal-size.)
- DISHWASHER: Not technically dishwasher safe. Color fading from dishwasher. (I realize the instructions say they aren't dishwasher safe. Really? We're a family with small kids and we don't have time to hand-wash our dishes if we want to try to keep the kitchen clean. So I will live with the fading. The online description should warn that this set isn't dishwasher safe.)
Overall, a functional, pretty little set. The 3-qt deep skillet is my new favorite. I make a lot of one-dish meals, and this performs perfectly. However, I wish the set came with a bigger skillet (12-in) instead of the tiny 8.5-inch which isn't very useful.

This cookware set is an exceptional value, including all of the pans needed to equip your kitchen with the most used cooking pieces. As the set contains only basic pieces, you'll really use each and every pan. It includes saucepans for whisking a homemade sauce or cooking your morning oatmeal, a big stockpot for soups, stews or boiling pasta, and skillets (probably the most used pan in any kitchen) that will help you turn out perfect crepes or a simple grilled cheese sandwich. The set also includes a saute pan, a wide, straight-sided pan that can perform many of the functions of a skillet but features deep sides for extra capacity, perfect for one dish meals. Start your dish in this pan by sauteing onions and browning meat, then add your liquid and other ingredients into the same pan to finish on the stovetop or in the oven.
