Kind of Induction Compatible
We have a Thermador induction cook-top. All our other pots/pans work reliably on the cook-top. We purchased these for the non-stick feature. Unfortunately on our cooktop the pans only "kind of" work. The cooktop senses the pan and we can set a temperature, but eventually the cooktop says the cookware is not induction compatible and we have to lift the pan and try again... and again. Not sure as I did not cut the pans apart, but I assume the ferrous metal component is too thin to be reliable as induction compatible. Too bad as the set is pretty, and a good value.
Hi Jimmy, this cookware features a stainless-steel stay-flat base designed for use with induction cooking surfaces. The diameter of the pan's induction base should be equal to or larger than the size of the induction element you are using. If the pan's induction base is much smaller than the induction heating element, the induction sensor may not recognize the pan and will not activate (heat).
Good from far, far from Good!
Got these as a gift for Christmas, Navy with Brass. Unboxed all the components. Two of the lids had imperfections such as bubbling metal and missing blue paint. A few of the pans have already started also chipping from less than a handful of uses. The nonstick works like a charm for eggs, bacon and cheese. Overall curious to see how long they last, however I feel we will be replacing sooner than later as they are Made in China.
Thank you for the feedback on this pan set, Bubz. Please know all Member's Mark items come with a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee and can be returned at any time.
Do Not Buy
I did everything as instructed prior to using these pans and pots. Never used metal cooking utensils. The first use was great. It was completely downhill after that. The nonstick didn’t even last after one use. I couldn’t even fry an egg without it sticking everywhere. I got the white and gold which is a gorgeous set however it stains terribly. You cannot get the stains out with anything. You also get a terrible burn marks on the bottom of the pan. Definitely do not recommend. It only looks good but definitely does not use well.

Buy These Pots! Be Leary of Negative Reviews
I bought two sets of these pots. I read the negative reviews and am confused by them. The name brand pots which are double/triple in price have the same instructions, details and aesthetics as these. The negative reviews complain about the utensils you have to use, the suggested temperature and the recommended hand washing as opposed to dishwashing, etc. - but they do not note that name brand provides the same advice. These are direct quotes from the name brand pots: "Ceramic can hold heat more efficiently than traditional pans, so use pans on low to medium heat when cooking. Overheating can wear away the non-stick coating." Another quote from the name brand - "Avoid using oil sprays or cooking aerosols for greasing pans to preserve the naturally slick coating." Another - "Metal utensils with rough edges may damage your non-stick coating. Stick to wooden, silicone, plastic, or nylon products." Another - "Clean with warm, soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge or dishcloth to keep your pans looking fresh! Avoid the dishwasher as the detergent can damage the non-stick coating." Another referencing the oven - "Our cookware can handle up to 550°F without breaking a sweat." Sam's club recommends 450 degrees. Another - "Yes, all non-stick coatings will slowly wear off given frequent use. " You get the picture. The name brand has the same type of instructions as Sam's pots. Theirs do come with a storage system. Hope Sam's adds that feature. Maybe the other reviews were not aware of the instructions on the name brand. I have boiled in them, used them on the stovetop and oven. So far so good. Waiting on the pink ones to be back in stock.
Good
Read the fine print. They say dishwasher safe. But further down they say hand wash for longer lifespan of the pans. They also can't be used on burners above medium heat. But they're supposed to be oven safe? If only medium heat then to what degree are they safe in the oven? It doesn't say. So, they're beautiful, quasi functional, and come with a lot of asterisks even though they make claims of perfection. We've had ours about a week and they work. But cooking times are slower because of the medium heat thing. I'm back to hand washing pots and pans when everything else we own can go in the dishwasher. And I'm still leary of making a frittata because I don't know what oven temp is safe for a medium heat pan... So, yeah, fun. We'll see how they hold up in the long term.
We appreciate your feedback on this ceramic cookware set. The set is oven safe up to 450℉ (232℃).
Hot Hands
Reading the description saying the hand is made to be cool. That is a lie that handles get hot after cooking in them. And that's cooking on stove top with medium heat. Otherwise I love the color and I haven't had any other complaints but I've only used them three times so far.
Please be aware that metal handles may heat up when exposed to high oven temperatures or prolonged cooking. To ensure your safety, we strongly advise using potholders or oven mitts when handling the lids, pots, and pans to protect yourself from the heat.
Worth the wait
I was FINALLY able to snag a cream/gold set and they are even more beautiful in person! I followed all of the pre-use care instructions and I hand wash as recommended (even though they do say dishwasher safe) and I don’t have a single complaint. No trouble with sticking, chipping, being too heavy, etc. They are absolutely worth their price!
Nice while it lasted
I bought these back in January and have used each one a few times. Unfortunately the pot and pan that I commonly use already loss their non-stick at about the 3 month mark 😞 I made sure to use silicone utensils and even followed the instructions before I ever used them. Given the price compared to Our Place and Caraway which is what I was originally researching to buy until I found these, I guess they're ok since they're more than a fraction of the cost of those. And also if you get the white be warned it will stain easily.
We are sorry for this experience. To restore the performance of the non-stick surface, we recommend a deep cleaning method. This involves soaking the cookware overnight in hot, soapy water and thoroughly washing the surface the next morning. Besides, we have some important tips for you to maintain the nonstick performance. 1) Always use on low to medium heat. 2) Always cool down to room temperature before washing. 3) Avoid sudden temperature change (thermal shock) on the cookwares and lids. 4) When using gas, keep the open fire just touching the bottom of the pots and avoid open fire climbing onto the walls of the pieces. Please know you can return the set anytime as part of the Member's Mark 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
White pots n pans
I purchased the set in white (beige) and really like it. However I ended up burning one of my fry pans and have been looking for a replacement but it seems to be unavailable. If I cannot find a single piece replacement I will look elsewhere for a set that has the option to purchase individual pieces. Other than that it's a great set for the price. P.S. don't walk away from stove while burner is on high!! Haha
Please contact Member Support at (888) 301-0332 and they can assist you with obtaining a replacement pan.
Horrible
These are the absolute worst pans I've ever used. And I used the Chrissy teigen ones... the pots are ok but the pans? Horrible! Everything sticks even with copious amounts of oil/butter. Then you can absolutely not clean them. They peeled on the outside after the 3rd use. I bought these in July as a little treat for when we moved into our new house. I unfortunately didn't open the box and use them until February, so I can't return them. I'm out $180. I'm so disappointed. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY like I did!
