Cleaning is a breeze, and they're beautiful
I've had this for a month now and I'll say it's a PLEASURE to cook in these with how non-stick they are. It makes cooking things like eggs, or saucy dishes, so much easier and they're a breeze to clean. Hot water usually rinses anything inside right out! Being ceramic, you do have to be sure you're not cooking higher than medium heat. I haven't really had an issue with this though certain tasks like browning meat may take longer. I also only handwash as per the recommendation-- though they are dishwasher safe. I purchased the black color and I will say that I've noticed some paint chipping on the bottom of a couple of them already. I purchased black because a lot of the reviews said that the white ones stained. But when the paint chips, silver is behind the paint so it's pretty obvious. Being as the chips are on the bottom I'm letting it go for now but if they start chipping near the top/threaten to get into food I may request replacements. For now, I really love how these look, cook and clean.
Follow instructions and season
These DONOT stick if you use properly. You need to season the pans with oil. And it is NOT one and done. You need to season them every so often depending on how much you use them. And DO NOt use non stick spray. Also never use higher than med heat on the stove. It says this in instructions……. If you can not follow instructions then these will get discolored and loose the non stick quality.
Beautiful, functional set at a great price.
Over a year ago my siblings and I bought my mom the name brand of these pans for her for Christmas and I loved them and wanted some, but just couldn’t spend that kind of money. When I found these I was very skeptical so I waited months before pulling the trigger (and was able to get them on a Black Friday sale!) and now I am in love. (Or however much you can be with cookware :) ) I wanted black but ended up following advice of other reviews saying black was more slate grey, and I bought the navy blue. They are beautiful. I’ve used them for 6 weeks now multiple times a day to prepare meals for our family of 6 - and they are amazing. If these hold up - it will definitely be money wonderfully well spent in the kitchen.
Great features and colors
I LOVE being a Sam's Member. I bought the white set, and I'm glad I did. It looks great on my stove and table. I wish the individual pots were sold separately. I will purchase the set again because I need more pots. The cooking is very easy and needs less oil or butter. Cleaning is exceptional, and stacking requires cloth/ paper towel in between them. Prepping them before use is required. I LOVE THESE POTS AND PANS, especially the different sizes. The strainer is perfect for steaming, there is nothing better!
Disappointed
They are beautiful. I got the gray set and in the beginning I loved them, unfortunately even though I don't use metal utensils, hand wash them most of the time and use pan/pots protectors some of them have already peeled on the outside, so the beautiful part of them is gone. I bought them one year ago but use them sporadically. I won't recommend them.

most likely returning
Day 2 and I do not think I’ll be keeping these. They take WAY too long to start boiling. I tried using only medium heat and that wasn’t working so I turned it up halfway between medium and high and it still takes a ridiculous amount of time. I don’t want to turn it on high because I don’t want to ruin them but i dont have 30 minutes to wait for a small pot of water to boil.
Hello Kelsey, thank you for your feedback and sorry to hear about your experience during using this set. We will keep your comment in mind and keep improving our products.
Disappointed
Overall the cookware looks nice but after a week the finish began to dull and the nonstick on the skillets no longer works. Everything sticks. I expected more, having had bought from Sam's for years and always having great experience but this was a waste of money for me.
We are sorry to learn of your disappointment in the set, Brandy. To restore the performance of the non-stick surface, we suggest using a deep cleaning method that involves soaking the cookware in hot, soapy water overnight and then thoroughly washing the surface the next morning. Here are a few more tips for use of this set: 1) Always cook on low to medium heat. 2) Avoid overheat (dry boil) empty cookware. 3) Please keep the temperature lower than 232℃ before put the food in the cookware. 4) Avoid sudden temperature change (thermal shock). 5) Avoid using open flame and keep the open flame only touching the pot bottom. If you are still unhappy please know you can exchange or return them anytime as part of the Member’s Mark 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
Terrible--rusting screws with first wash
I was gifted the coral set of this cookware for Mother's Day from my husband--literally days ago. I'm glad I didn't get rid of my old cookware set yet as this one will be going back asap. First wash and the screws used to hold the lids in place are already rusted!!! How in the world can I expect this set to last? I loved the feel, the way it cooked (it truly is nonstick), but I cannot justify keeping these since they rusted with their first use.
Thank you for sharing your comment and feedback as this should not have occurred. Please call our Member Services team at (888) 301-0332 and we will be happy to make it right.
Would not recommend
We have had these for less than 2 years and it seems like the bottoms are disintegrating from the outside in, they lost their coatings in the pans and seem like the metal is chipping away on the inside. Don't feel safe cooking with these anymore. Initially bought them thinking they were good caraway dupes but definitely NOT.
We're sorry for this your experience, Shaye. Here are some important tips to help protect your aluminum set: 1)Always use low to medium heat. 2)Allow the cookware to cool to room temperature before washing. 3)Avoid sudden temperature changes (thermal shock) with the cookware and lids. 4)Keep sharp objects away from the cookware surface. 5)Avoid sliding the cookware across the stovetop. Once the coating is scratched at the beginning, it will gradually break down over time with use and exposure to high temperatures. Please note, all Member's Mark items come with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and can be exchanged or returned anytime.
I don’t do reviews , but I made THIS exception!
I been wanting new cookware for a while and, with all the options out there, it’s been a “research” journey. I received a “ad email” from Sam’s a few weeks ago, read the reviews for this cookware and thought I’d give it a try, since the price seemed reasonable. Let me stop here and say that I AM NOT ONE TO WRITE REVIEWS!!! My philosophy is “I bought the product; I paid the money; if I’m not satisfied with it, then it goes BACK!…Case Closed!” So for me to actually write a review says SOMETHING about my perspective about this cookware. 1. For the entire set of the various-sized pots, pans, and lids, the price was right. 2. I love the cream color. 3. The ease of cooking with the pots and the pans was a good experience. The food I made actually just slid around the pans with no sticking. 4. I followed the recommendation of waiting till the cookware was cooled down before washing. I was REALLY impressed of how easy it was to clean the pans with no scrubbing. 5. I’d also like to note that the lids have holes on them as a sort of “vent” for the steam - - - that was a plus. Maybe the only thing I would have wanted would be if the lids were made of glass so I could see the food as it’s being cooked. These have been my [sincere] reasons of why I’m impressed with this cookware.
