I’m very happy I made this purchase. I grew sick and tired of constantly burning through nonstick pans, so much money wasted. If you are not used to cooking with stainless steel, I highly recommend learning what the mercury test is, how to do it. How high to keep your temperature and when to add oil. If you learn these steps properly your food will not stick. I used the mercury test and my hamburgers did not stick to the skillet. This set is extremely nice. I did not put them in the Dishwasher, but washed well by hand. These pieces are not cheaply made, they are thick and heavy, durable quality. I absolutely love the metal lids. I have no idea how anyone could complain considering sets similar to these can run you over a thousand dollars. Don’t be afraid to learn how to cook and clean with stainless steel cookware. YouTube is an excellent tool for this. I have wasted so much money unnecessarily on nonstick cookware I could of purchased several of these sets. I highly recommend this product. I did notice some of these sets are made in another country. My product was manufactured in Brazil.

I purchased these after having my previous stainless set for over 30 years. I was impressed with it. The first thing I prepared was scrambled eggs with cheese. The eggs and cheese slid right out of the pan. I followed the same routine I always have to clean, let the pan cool, then soak in dish detergent and warm water for about 30 minutes. Easy peasy cleanup. Exactly what I've been used to. I've always used stainless and I love it. If you take care of it and use it the way it's meant to be, it will last forever.

Love the pieces that are not defective. However top edge of stockpot was scraped/gouged leaving metal sharp enough to cut my finger. edge of lid to deep sauté pan dented. Rough unpolished edges on saucepan lid. I purchased a similar set from Sams Club about 20 years ago and the quality was better from Tramontina.

I have always used nonstick pans in the past. They needed replaced and I purchased these. I have kept a nonstick skillet for eggs. This set is excellent. It has a great selection of usable pots and pans. It heats well and cleans up nice. Yes, the inside looks like it has been used. I use it. I have not used bar keepers friend as I use the pans daily. Preheat the pans, check by dripping water, add oil. No issues with sticking. My set was well made, made in Brazil, and came with metal lids. These are excellent if you are looking for tri-ply stainless cookware. My pans had no markings besides the bottom of a company logo. The picture implies there was a logo on the side which I think is ugly. Mine had none. This set appears to be extremely high quality and represents a great purchase.

I bought these for my elderly mother who threw away a set of non-stick cookware. I’ve used them and they are every bit as good as my tri-ply stainless set from Calphalon that cost hundreds more, without the glass lids. I will never use a non stick pan as the coatings do not last. You can make these non-stick by first heating the pan over medium heat (never high) until water beads and dances across the pan, then adding a little oil. You can then wipe out the oil with a wadded paper towel for oil-free cooking. It takes a little more patience, and but you are rewarded with perfectly cooked food. Any stains or discolorations can be removed with bar keepers friend then hand washed. Always let your pans cool completely before soaking in water or they will warp. Great set! Beautiful, too.

Recently purchased this set to replace a 20 plus year old set of SS cookware. This set is outstanding. Compareable to AllClad Try Ply at a far lower price. Cooks evenly and if you follow the instructions for most SS cookware works great. Barkeepers Friend cleans up the cookware easily and looks like new every time. Do not hesitate to buy this great set of cookware if you want a set that will last for years and look good doing it. Just learn to use it before you knock it

They are beautiful and quite heavy. I used the 10” pan one time (on med heat) to sauté vegetables. The oil was so hard to remove from the sides of the pan, that even with barkeepers friend ($6.00 per can), i had to use quite a bit of elbow grease to get it smooth again. So if that happened on med heat what will happen on higher heat- I dont have the energy to clean them lol. Returned.

My cookware arrived in great shape and are 50% thicker than my cuisinart pots. They’re substantial without being too heavy. I did a little research on YouTube and followed the directions on how to use and clean them. They cooked great and cleaned up easily. No food stuck to them and I washed them by hand even though you can put them in the dishwasher. I just believe hand washing to be superior. I have no doubt they will last me forever.

Pots and pans stain easily. Outside of that solid set.

Extremely pleased with this set!! High quality and solid feel. Very very happy with it!!
