I needed to replace my hodgepodge of pots and pans with something nice and nontoxic. I did my research and decided on this set. It has everything I need included. I don’t really need all 3 skillets but all sets come with skillets. The skillets don’t have lids of their own, but other lids in the set fit the 8” and 10” skillets. The lids fit snugly. Tramontina is an established brand that is Brazilian. This set is made in Brazil. They make other sets in China, which come with glass lids. They are the manufacturer for Members Mark sets, too. Everything came well packaged with no damage or blemishes. The box was HEAVY. I learned to cook with various metal pots and pans, then made the mistake of switching to nonstick before the toxicity was widely known. I now need to get used to the difference in cooking techniques for uncoated cookware again. So far, so good. The pans heat evenly and retain heat well. I have a good quality enameled nonstick deep saute pan from Tramontina that I am still using for foods that stick, like eggs and cheese sauces, at least until I’m more confident with these. Remember that stainless steel is not nonstick. You must preheat and use oil to prevent sticking. Also important is that if you are boiling pasta never to put salt in until after it boils. It will cause pitting of the inside bottom that can’t be fixed. Any stains or discoloration that doesn’t wash off easily can be removed with Barkeepers Friend, including the rainbow marks that come from using high heat. I am very happy with this set. Testers have reviewed it as being a high quality, less expensive alternative to the brands that get the most attention. It has a lifetime manufacturer warranty if it’s needed, but I doubt I will need it. This particular set is exclusive to Sam’s and I really love the pieces that were chosen. There is a pot or pan for any need. Including the steamer is great for me because I prefer to steam, rather than boil, vegetables. If you understand what you’re buying, you will love the quality and value of this set.

I am extremely pleased with the cookware. Works great on induction range and it's beautiful. Pot of water boils in a fraction of the time it took on my gas range. Sam's customer service also did great. Handle on small skillet was loose so they refunded cost and sent a return label. I just ordered another set and everything was great.

I am very pleased with this set of cookware. It replaces a similar set of Cuisinart that had served me well for many years but didn’t work with my new induction cooktop. These pans are beautifully shaped, super shiny, heavier than my previous ones, and the additional stainless steel makes them perfect for induction. And the price was superb! In researching this brand, I found the same set offered elsewhere for over $700, so am more than satisfied. They are about as perfect as they can get!

I really love All-Clad for it's tri ply design. This brand offers a good alternative. This one has the tri ply along bottom and sides like All Clad and offers a mirror stainless finish. If you do your research, an article I found did a comparison and the only feature where this line wasn't equal to All Clad was in the time it takes for the pan to cool down when you adjust the heat lower. For the cost savings, I think it is a good choice, plus, it has metal, not glass lids.

I’ve been using these pans for a few weeks now and I absolutely love them. The quality is excellent. They are well made and I truly feel like I’m using pans that a professional chef would use. They are heavy duty and heat evenly. I hand wash them and dry immediately to keep them in pristine condition. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful set, great price. I LOVE MY NEW COOKWARE! I did some research on the set before going to stainless steel. I was a newbie to cooking with anything other than nonstick. I always allow the skillet to reach temperature before adding oil, etc. to prevent sticking. I made omelets perfect. I feel like this set will last me for many, many years and couldn't be any happier with it.

I purchased this set 6 months ago to work with a new induction cooktop. I also purchased an All-Clad skillet to see if there was any difference. There is... the Tramontina is superior! They are both beautiful but the handles on the Tramontina are far more comfortable and there is no difference in the cooking performance. I liked the Tramontina set so much that I decided to get a second set and replace all of my other cookware. If you are on the fence regarding quality just buy it - you will not be disappointed.

nothing to dislike. learned quickly how to heat %26 use high temp cooking oil with fry pans. clean up is easy and everything I cook from eggs to steak is great. The key to everything is being careful with the heat. I use low to medium with gas flame and never above medium and can sear a steak perfectly before using the same pan in the oven to finish to preferred temp. Leave pan cool completly before cleaning %26 dry immediatly. Thats all there is. Patients is the key. This company makes pans in Brazil and China so make sure you order the pans with solid lids. These are made in brazil with Steel made in brazil while I understand the pans with glass lids are made in china.

Great set! Highly recommend. I was on the fence about switching over to safe, non-toxic cookware and couldn’t be more pleased with this set. This set will last for a long time and the price for all the pieces was more than reasonable. I absolutely do not miss the nonstick and happy we are safe from further damage from the coating. Try it out - you will not be disappointed.

I've had my new cookware for a few weeks now and I love them!. After reading reviews online I was a little worried about buying them but after following recommended suggestions to heat up pan first, then add oil, butter or whatever you are using then keeping temperature set to around 4 or five I have had no issues with cleaning the pans . I did buy Bar Keeper's Friend to use to clean pans which puts the shine back in the pan if any discoloration at all. If anything does stick, I put hot water in pan and let it soak for a few minutes and no issues at all. I do think it takes a little adjusting to use these pans as I have to be more patient for them to heat up first, but have been very happy with results. Would buy again!
