20 Best Cookware For Electric Cooktop (Jan 2023 Update)

Received my set and was very happy with the appearance. It wasn't too long before I discovered these pans don't do good in the dishwasher, we used the mixer to whip potatoes and it scratched up the interior so we won't be doing that again. And if the heat is too high it will mess with the appearance of the bottom of the pans. Last weekend I used the 9" cake pan and the cake was stuck and ruined. So what is advertised in regards to this set is most definitely incorrect. Very disappointed. Stay away from these pots and pans, I should've read the reviews before purchasing.Natalie Longsine

I purchased one of these and it started sticking after 6 weeks, progressively got worse. I never used heat higher than medium, never used it in the oven past 350 degrees (although it says you can go up to 400 degrees), never used any non-stick sprays (these will DEFINITELY ruin your pan!), never used metal utensils (or hand mixers, etc.), always used only soapy hot water to clean the inside surface. I will NEVER buy this pan again! ANY non-stick pan that won't last past 2-2 1/2 years is NOT worth purchasing. If frying chicken or ?? in oil, I use my WELL-SEASONED cast iron skillet. For everyday use (eggs, grilled cheese, etc.) I purchased a Tramontina commercial non-stick restaurant fry pan – I'm on my 2nd pan which lasted 2 1/2 years (using the same hints as above – i.e., no metal utensils, don't cook past medium heat, no non-stick sprays, etc.) I used this pan daily – sometimes multiple times daily so if you want a GOOD non-stick, suggest the Tramontina. Remember, NO non-stick pan will last past 2-2 1/2 years so expect to purchase a new one after that period of time. NOTE: The Gotham Steel will NOT last past 3 monthscoffeejams

I've been using 2 Gotham Steel 10 inch frying pans since July 2018. I use them almost every day and a photo would show them to look almost new. Grilled cheese, quesadillas, eggs, breakfast meats, searing steaks before grilling, chicken in salsa, and much more. On stove top and in oven. Use them smartly and they will continue to look great and do the job; fail to follow the "rules" and they will fail within weeks or days. What are these rules? * When you get the pan, wash it by hand with conventional dish soap (i.e. dawn) and dry. * Immediately "season" the pan with oil (safflower or peanut/ground oil is recommended) on the stove top or in the oven. Google "pan seasoning" to really understand how. * After cleaning in dishwasher, re-season before using. No seasoning, no non-stick! * A properly seasoned pan will need little or no oil for cooking AT LOW TO MEDIUM TEMPERATURES. * Use a minimum amount of oil, +/- a teaspoon, for most foods, in a properly seasoned pan. The "no oil at all" thing is not important to my diet and I use the smallest amount of olive oil sometimes with a little MCT oil mixed in. * NEVER use canned spray oils. The solvent that keeps the oil spray-able will change the non-stick surface, even after as few as 2 to 4 uses! * NEVER cook food on high heat. This will quickly erode the non-stick capability of the pan. Set your burner to MEDIUM heat, or just a little lower and WAIT for the pan to heat up, 2-3 minutes or so. Flick a little water to know when the pan is ready – the sizzle sound will tell you when. * NEVER scrape "stuck" food residue from the pan. After cooking, let the pan cool, fill with luke warm water in the sink and let it soak for 5 minutes or more. I then scrub my pans with a nylon kitchen brush or a nylon mesh pad. After a brief soak, they come amazingly clean with little effort. * Never clean with steel wool or abrasive cleansers like Comet. Key word here is "abrasive". A little baking soda and white vinegar is about the most abrasive mix I would use but I havent needed to go that far as yet. * Use nylon or plastic or wood utensils. Initially the surface seems immune to metal tools but scraping is scraping – both the pan and the tool will erode. Even dentists have to replace their tooth cleaning tools every so often. And don't do the egg-beater thing in the pan! Other than the TV hype, what would the point be? Above all, remember: these are typically $10 to $30 pans. They are not going to last forever. I originally expected 2 to 3 years when I bought them. Now I'm thinking more like 4 to 5. Maybe I'll have to think further out over the next couple of years, and when the time comes, I'll buy more of the same.mnocdb

These pots disappointed me completely! i was excited to find them at a good price but i know why. After using them for about two weeks the smallest sauce pan started to peel. After the second time using the medium sauce pan it started blistering. I store my pots hanging from a rack over my island in my kitchen while putting them away my husband dropped the medium sauce pan on to the counter and it bent it very badly. So i would stay away from this set unless you only want them for appearance because they are not cook worth pans.Grammyof3

Bought these 3/31/2021. Love the set and how the look, great to cook with also. But my most used pan, the smaller sauce pan, got one little scratch on the bottom in the inside and since then the coating has started bubbling and coming off. Its finally bad enough that I don't feel safe using it anymore because there are always pieces of the nonstick coating in our food. I dont feel safe feeding it to my kids and will be looking for a different brand to purchase now. I wish I could find a good pan /brand that is nonstick but doesn't have a nonstick coating that can eventually peel off.TheTruthIsWhatItIs

My husband bought me a set of these about 3 years ago and I love it. The cookware is still almost like new. It has done everything that was advertised. The only thing I wish could be changed are the handles to make them a little more comfortable. I have neuropathy and sometimes the sides feel sharp on my hands. But other that the cookware is perfect.N.H.

This set was delivered to my home 2 days ago. I just used couple of pieces today and I fell in love with it! I made a beef stew in the saute pan and some brown rice in the 2.5 qt sauce pan. I did not have any problem with the food sticking to the pans at all! And cleaning the pans was a breeze. The pan used for the beef had a large stain inside after washing. This is kind of normal with most stainless steal pans and it should not affect how the pans cook the food.The pans are little heavy which is a sign of quality but could be an issue for the little chefs or seniors. I am getting rid of most of my old cookware now. I just wish this set had included a steamer insert to use with one of the sauce pans.Casablancaise

These are the best pots and pans I have ever owned! I was a cook in my younger years in some of the finer restaurants in Lake Tahoe and Seattle. I have owned the Calphalon anodized aluminum as well as a three layer stainless set from their competitor. I have no real complaints about those sets but this stackable set is my favorite. The set is beautiful and they have a nice assortment of sizes to meet most of my needs. I may want to buy the 8qt stockpot later. The stacking feature is great, I can fit the entire set in my deep pull out cabinet drawer. The cookware looks great. Each piece has stainless steel pieces attached with notches to help them line up for stacking and it gives them a rugged look. The lid notches will line up when on the pot but they don't need to, you can swing the handle anywhere and it still seals fine. I will say it is smart to line up the lid handle over the pot handle to keep it cool. The pans are great but the lids turned out to be the secret surprise of the set. Most lids are dome shaped and you must use a pot holder to pick them up because the handle is right over the heat. Then, when you put them on the counter they leave a circle of water from the steam. Not so with these lids. Because most of them have a long handle, you can pick up the lid with a bare hand. Then you simply flip the lid over and set it down on the counter upside down. No mess, no burn! You can also see your food through the glass lid which means no lifting when you are making rice etc. I would like to address a few complaints by other reviewers: These pans do not stain any worse than other stainless pans. Yes, when cooking certain foods like rice or beans, there will be a light stain after they come out of the dishwasher. All stainless steel pans do this. All you need to do is use a bit of Bar Keeper's Friend cleanser and they will look like new. Some people complain about food sticking to the pans. I have made dozens of different dishes in these pans now and you would have to work hard to get something to stick. I can even make eggs in the pans and they don't stick. To be fair it is a little harder to make eggs in a stainless pan but if you know how to heat the pan, add the butter and then put in the eggs, it will work like a high end non-stick pan. I also see complaints about hot handles. These handles only get hot after prolonged use over the heat source. They have a 'Y' at the base to help dissipate heat and I have never had to use a heat mitt to touch them. They are made of stainless steel and conduct heat the same as any other stainless handle. If you put them in the oven or broiler, yeah, they are gonna be hot! Sorry for the long review but I just want to say these pans are great. My only complaints are; the lids have a lip on the top side which catches water in the dishwasher, so when you take them out you have to wipe a few drops out. Also, like most stainless pans, the inner layer of aluminum is exposed at the pan edge. This means the dishwasher soap will erode the aluminum and after time there will be a gap at the edge. I don't know of any multi layer pans that don't have this problem. Enjoy!Pilot454

I do no recommend these pots as they are wrist breaking heavy. I even chipped my quarts counter top with the large pot. They must be very porous because it's impossible to get stains out of them so always look dirty. I made iced tea in the big one and it's now stained and the dishwasher (a Miele) does not get them clean so I have to scrub them by hand. I purchased them when we changed to an induction stove top and had to buy all new cookware. I use the nonstick pans and they are rather heavy but not like this so called stainless steel ones.Bubbles

I’ve been a line cook for 5 years and worked with a lot of nonstick sets turning out thousands of eggs for brunch service. Misen exceeded my expectations. My only critique is that the set is maybe a touch heavy, but I’ll happily take that in exchange for how fast and evenly it heats. Great product in my opinion.Ben W.

Me and my wife have been married for 35 years. We have gone through some cookware. Misen is the first company to educate customers on how to handle and care for and protect non-stick cookware. We have the set of 3 frying pans. We have had them for 2 years and with the care instructions that we learned from Misen they are still like brand new. Not a scratch on the inside at all. We love everything we have purchased. Knifes Cooking Utensils The first non-stick frying pans Great job Misen keep it up. I look forward to reviewing all the products I have purchased on YouTube. Thanks David and EloiseDavid G.

I have had Analon cookware for years. They say you can use metal. No, no you can’t, because eventually the get scratched just enough to no longer be slick. I had decided, even before I got Misen, to not use metal utensils regardless of what the manufacturer states. So, when I read no metal utensils, I was all in. As light as these pans are they heat perfectly. And cook like a dream. I must say, for once I got a great product. Thank you. JanZJANICE L. Z.

These are amazing. I use them on my Nu Wave . They clean up so easily. I just love them. I do wish I could find a 12" fry pan made for this set by Vremi.CAC

I wrote a very good review of this product a short time after buying it. It's pretty, but even with very light use and always using plastic utensils, the non-stick has disappeared, the food sticks like crazy, I had to buy new frying pans.dr.ordinaire

Pots look very nice. They have a very sturdy feel. Shipping was very quick (5 days). The color yellow is not as vibrant as I would like. The color is more like a pastel yellow as opposed to a nice bright/vibrant yellow.Ayrriel

I love this cookware, it is so easy to clean. I am enjoying making things like caramel, and not worrying about things sticking. This cookware is so much better than the expensive non-stick teflon type of set that I paid way to much for and the finish is peeling off and the after taste for the next item cooked in them is not pleasant. There is no flavor transfer with this non stick ceramic coated cookware it is wonderful!W.T.S.

I wanted a non stick cookware set that was non toxic so I was very excited to discover Greenpan. One of the bamboo spoons arrived broken, but no biggie. I’ve been using them a few months now and they aren’t as good as a was hoping. Oil burns very easily even on medium heat and sometimes it’s hard to clean off. And the lid to the pot gets very hot so you need a over glove to take it off while cooking. I like the sizes of the set, color and design but they’re not as functional as I would have liked.Jaime

I am a fan of Greenpan so with the holidays approaching I decided to get myself a set of pans to fill in the gaps of my individual purchases and permanently retire my old pans (with PFAs). The Lima set is so far very nice. I missed having a 1 quart saucepan so I purchased that separately. All of the items seem to be well made, light weight and sturdy enough for what I need. I've only had them a couple of weeks so I can't say how they will hold up but my other Greenpans have fared well over the year or so I've had them. I was very happy to put the old pots and pans away and give the entire pan shelf over to Greenpan.Sara AH

I was pleasantly surprised that these pans are wonderful to cook in and the clean-up is very easy. I expected to pay a lot more for this quality. I just threw away a whole set of name brand pots and pans with the coating that peeled off after only 9 months of use. We are an elderly couple and do not use pans for cooking as much as we use to so we thought those "coated" pans should have lasted longer. I love these stainless steel pans. I wash them by hand and if there is any stuck on food, I add a little dish detergent and a little water and warm that on the stove (just like I do with my cast iron pans), and it comes right off. They are well balanced. Not too light and not too heavy.Retired2AZ

I bought these pans 2 years ago, and they still work just fine! Overall this is a pretty good deal for how cheap they are. I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade, however. I am an avid home cook, and in addition to this set I use a variety of frying pans. I been using this pan set for 2 weeks now. We make all meals at home and rarely order take out or go out. The first thing I need to say is this: if you have not used stainless steel and are used to non-stick, you have some learning to do! Do your research and learn how to use your cookware. The biggest things to remember: preheat your pan before adding food and use plenty of oil. If your meat sticks, that's a good thing; just wait until it releases on its own to move it around the pan. Later you can add some liquid (water, wine, vinegar, stock, etc.) to deglaze or release all of the lovely flavorful browned bits on the bottom of the pan. If you are a novice, I would recommend that you continue to use non-stick for delicate foods like eggs and fish. Now that that's out of the way, let's get to the review. Useability These pots will boil water! Perfect for making pasta, ramen, and anything with copious amounts of liquid. The bottoms have a tendency to scorch when there isn't as much water present, so you'll want to stir constantly. The frying pan has deep walls, so it will trap moisture and cause less evaporation than a pan with lower, sloping sides. I don't use this one very often, opting instead for non-stick (for ease of use and of clean-up), carbon steel, or cast iron. Again, these pans don't fare so well in a low-moisture setting. The handles are odd. Typically with the two-handled pots, one handle will get hot and one will stay cool during the cooking process, and that's if I use the correct burner size. The lids have vents, but they still rattle loudly when your water comes to a boil. It kind of works as an alarm so that I know the water is boiling – like the whistle of a tea kettle. Durability The casserole/dutch oven type pans are what I use the most, like one would use a sauce pan. Those have held up really well, and with a little bit of Barkeeper's Friend would look brand new. These are lightweight and. Not at all heavy. Easy to move from stobe to oven. The handles are hollow, but I haven't had problems with strength. None of them have bent or buckled. Clean-Up Food comes off of these just fine, although sometimes they require a good soak. We have hard water, so spots are inevitable, and sometimes the "rainbow" effect is too, but with some Barkeeper's Friend they shine like new. My husband blackened the entire bottom of the frying pan, and I anticipate that it will scrub away just fine, because that powder is magical. The hollow handles like to collect water, so I make sure to let my pans dry thoroughly before hanging them back on my wall. The Bottom Line If you're a casual home cook, a broke college student, or just someone who needs to boil water, I highly recommend this set. It's cheap and it works. If you know how to cook with and properly clean stainless steel.Kitkat917

I opened the box and they didn't smell like metal, the glass lids were sparkling and the stainless finish was like butter. I thought I'd miss the traditional long handles on the pots, but no. The pots nest well about the size of my large double boiler so they store on top of it in the cabinet, I've never had stackable pots before. The bottom of the pans and pots is heavy and thick like the reviews say, and the finish is fine milled. The first thing I did was throw the whole set into the dishwasher. my dishwasher is a small apt size one but this set including the lids all fit in together nicely. After the wash, I noticed still no metal smell like you get with store bought stainless pans. Then I poured some oil in the large fry pan and couldn't believe it that the pan sat flat on my crooked conventional burner, the oil heated up and didn't run all to one side and the pan sat solidly on the burner without rocking. I seared two chicken breasts put the lid on and let them fry under the lid for another 6 minutes. Honestly the best stove top fryed chicken I've made, moist and fully cooked. With the fond stuck on the pan I made a bar-b-que sauce right there with the fond, and the stuck on fats just slurped right up into the sauce and it boiled down without burning the sugar. hardly any stuck on fond after the sauce was done. Easy clean up, oils wash out easily. Cooks evenly, sits on the burner evenly. These pans are lighter than the heavy aluminum teflon pans I had that hurt my wrists to use. These pans are about a third heavier than the Tramontia brand. So glad I was able to purchase this set. I'm gonna throw away all the old ones. Very happy. I would buy this again as a gift for someone. High marks.TallMocha

I'm not an accomplished cook…don't have years of cooking for a hubby and kids like a lot of you ladies. That means I usually turn the heat up too high, and I am always getting distracted long enough for my food to burn. I have scorched oatmeal, mushrooms, canned goods (especially diced new potatoes and carrots) and frozen cauliflower. When the food looks like it will have to be tossed, I am always surprised that I can scoop it up and it looks fine on the plate and tastes just fine. The pan, however, looks hopeless, with all the black goop stuck in the bottom of the pan. Here is what is amazing about this pan…a few swipes with a scouring pan and the burnt food just slides right off and leaves the pan with a shiny finish and zero scratches. The first time I used a scouring pad (my first time to scorch the pan) was scary. I just assumed if it took a scouring pan to get the stuff off, the finish would be ruined. Not true. My pan bounced back just as shiny as it was when I bought it. I have since scorched many pans of food and my pan looks as good today as it did when I bought it. I see absolutely zero evidence of any scratching, and I definitely don't see how the finish could come off. Please do as I say, not as I do, and try to remember to keep the heat at the appropriate temperature and to stay with your food when it is cooking on high. You will be happy with the results. And don't be afraid to scrub the inside of the pan with a scouring pan because your finish should be just fine. If you are like me and can't remember to check on the pan, then maybe we all need to take cooking lessons. What we don't need is another non-stick pan. We already own the best, IMHO.Darlene

I ordered these at Christmas, I was super excited to get them. Very disappointed in them, they arent scratch proof. They are great for the first few washes, but after that, we noticed the non stick coating started coming off. The handles kind of dig in your hands when moving them away from the stove. They could really use handle covers for better grip. One of the storage container lids literally came apart in the dishwasher the first time I washed them. This set was a huge disappointment, enough so, that I took the time to write this review to warn others not to waste the money. To sum it up, basically choose any set of pots but these.Scarletgodiva

These are supposed to be great but they scratch really easily and they burn and stick food REALLY bad. Add in their price these are crap. They were ruined within the first month of owning them. It's not three months since I bought them and I just lost the last pan from this set. I just went out and spent an additional 250$ for a different one. This set will cost you money. DO NOT BUY IT.NaturalFamily

I've owned many different non-stick pots and pans and these are amazing! With no need to "season" the pans, they're right up my alley because being a pretty good cook and baker, it's against my "religion" to burn ANYTHING in a pan! So "seasoning" pans to make them non-stick was very difficult for me! These Granitestone pans are ready to cook and the surface is so slippery cooking is an ease! Wonderful!!Ellen R.

When I got this set of granite stone cookware I was excited to put them to use. After washing them all up I decided to get started. Fried taters in the frying pan, baked biscuits on the flat pan and steamed vegetables in the steamer pot (we like our meat fixed on the grill). After supper I decided to wash them up it was a quick wash-up like nothing had really been used. Well it does say you don't have to use oil/butter with these which my taters have to have butter in them. The next day I made peanut butter fudge and of course I can't stir it with anything other than a metal spoon which I thought would surely ruin it. Let the pot set until I got the fudge rolled out. Clean-up wasn't just wiping it off but it wasn't scrubbing like I used to do. My husband has been using them alot and he's rough on stuff and these still look like they just came out of the box. They can be used indoors and outdoors both so if you want to go camping you could take them along or what you would need. They have a very nice weight to them instead of being light and flimsy like others. It says not to use any non stick sprays and trust you don't need to. They have metal handles which concerned me when I saw that but they actually don't get hot (that is while on the stove). Comes with lids which alternate between the pots and pans. These are absolutely amazing to cook in. Now I need utensils to match. I've posted some pictures but that's nothing compared to what you get in this 20 piece set. It's not only pots and pans, there's also bakeware included.Mary1861

I've been using this set of cookware for several weeks now and completely satisfied with their performance. The quality of the cookware is top-notch. The pots heat up quickly and retain heat, perfect for when I make chili and soups. I've used the pans numerous times, cooking eggs, fish, sauteing onions, mushrooms, etc. and never had an issue with the food sticking. Clean up is also quick and easy. Only downside, and I might be nitpicking, but I would have preferred round/oblong handles rather than the flat ones.Pat_88

At first I really enjoyed these pans but soon they started falling apart. Less then a year and the inner caps to the handle on of the pans exploded off while cooking. BB&B passed the buck to Epicurious who’s customer service was so hard to get a hold of I finally gave up on trying to get a replacement. Now just over a year and the black inner part of the pans are starting to wear off. Considering how much money I paid for these pans I would have expected them to last longer then this.BBB Customer

Great cookware set! Very beautiful in appearance and great to cook with. Taking 1 star off because although the description says these pots are dishwasher safe i did notice a few scratches formed on them because i washed them in the dishwasher, looks like you need to hand wash these if you want to prevent any scratches which actually makes them not dishwasher safe.Tanvi

I got these because of the bright color and dishwasher/ metal utensil compatibility, but all three of those points disappoint because these aren't great quality. The colorful paint chips off with gentle use and the nonstick surface fades quickly. I clean them by hand after use to avoid scrubbing gunk and speeding up the wear and tear, but don't think these will last long. I used a coupon so the price isn't awful for the number of pieces included, but I wish I had invested in higher quality.ris

This is a sweet little set of cookware for the price. I've used it for 3 days and I'm delighted with the non stick surface and how evenly it cooks on my ceramic cook top. I always handwash my cookware so I expect it to last a long time. Also, be careful about plunging a hot pan into cold water or it can warp. You'll like this cookware!BBShopper

I have been using these pans for a few weeks now and can honestly say that the non-stick, textured surface is incredible! Food moves across the pans very smoothly and cleanup is quick and easy! I have only hand-washed them so far, but it is nice to have the option to put them in the dishwasher as well. The silicone wrap on the handles is a nice addition and makes them easier to grip. Nice quality set!W1234

I didn’t know these were ceramic inside. I never had ceramic before. They work as good as Teflon! Easy clean up. Great value for the money.Irish

Pretty good overall, the handles are riveted rather than using a screw that comes loose. Professional kettles and pans have handles that are riveted. Seem like standard home use set, they have good covers. The non stick coating seems to work well. Overall a good deal I think, I would recommend these to othersTerrellm

I usually have to buy my wife a new kitchen cookware set every 2-3 years. And I use to buy the over priced cookware but as we get older. We realized that the main name brands offer a great value typically at a lower price. This set while on the average sale price has made my wife very happy and made me happy as far as saving some money. I paid 49$ on sale. That’s the usual price you can get these at. We highly recommend if you are on a budget or you upgrade/replace every 1-3 yrs.Bestbuyguy210

Solid quality cookware, very light weight, nice sized combo with 3 lids that will cover all the cooking pots and pans. And bonus cooking utensils to complete this set. Bought this on a “Deal of the Day” and felt like I got an exceptional deal. Been using the 9” pan and it cooks nicely and the food just slides off and any residual grease cleans off easily with a paper towel.Bing209

I've had this set for about 2 weeks. So far the non-stick is working great. I am being intentional to not use abrasive utensils and cleaning pads with them. I am hand washing and drying as well to prevent any deterioration of the finish. Also using everything on a low to medium setting has not been an issue to cook with; only raising it higher for boiling. The design is beautiful, but the color is definitely not copper. The exterior leans to a silver or light rose gold color. I almost returned when I saw this, but realized for the price point, good reviews, and design, this is about the most attractive cookware set you can find.Brittany

I love this cookware. I am from the old school and cook everything from scratch. I made Mac & Cheese the other day and used the large stock pot to mix the milk and cheese together. Usually this is a major problem when it comes to cleanup but not this time. I melted the cheese into the milk and then added the cooked macaroni, mix it thoroughly. I then put the mixture into a baking dish and put it in the oven to bake. Now comes the part I usually hate, cleaning the pot with the milk/cheese mixture. Well, this time it wasn't a problem, at all. Put the pot in sink with warm water and dish detergent, a few swipes with the dish cloth and that was it. Dried it and put it away. End of story.JOYCE

Problems from day with sticking. Says no need for oil but you will never get your food out of the pan if you don't as found out. With or without oil eggs do badly and you end up with part of the egg stuck and having to scrub hard to wash the pans. Pasta sticks to the bottom of the pots while stirring and having oil added. Steaks are a nono unless you don't like to sear them as the surface grabs the meat and won't let go without tearing. Terrible waste of money.eugene

So great to cook in, absolutely nothing burns, but then you never cook on high. It is a fantastic set of pans,I wish I had gotten the larger set. Still have the set, it’s 2022, still cooks great, (my brother brunt the medium pan up, he thought he had turned the burner off, but instead he turned it on high). but the rest of the set is still in great shape.D.G.

I've had these for awhile now and I absolutely love them. I was looking for something like this for awhile because you know kids and the hubby would use metal on other nonstick and they got chipped and scuffed not these. Always comes clean with a breeze. The only downfall is yes the lid handles do get hot but that's why I have pot holders for. I don't mind a little inconvenience of that for how easy these are to clean. I have a gas stove and these still have kept their look unlike others I've used. Hands down get yourself a set and you'll love them.Brenda

The pots look of good quality. The design is very similar to Gotham Steel stackmaster. I think maybe they are from the same company I have used the set once and so far so good. I don’t like the lids though, very very hard to wash as the oil gets stuck on the rim, I spent 10 minutes to hand wash with 5 different methods dish brush, tooth brush, bottle cleaner, folded up paper towel with a knife, and hydrojet and nothing can get everything out. I will have to get other lids for these pots.Jade

I love how my GraniteStone StackMaster set stacks neatly together, and the lids are great they way they stack, too, one handle up, one handle down. But I didn't know they would be so heavy. The larger stack of pots and pans need two hands to lift. You can't just reach in the cabinet, lift the top pot with one hand and grab the next one down with your other hand. Too heavy. And today, I tried cooking eggs without butter or oil spray–the eggs stuck to the pan! That was disappointing. But with a little spray, the eggs cook fine.HomeBeast

They do stack, but not the lids. I have deep drawers for my pots and pans, and the lids make for a lot of confusion. The smallest pan, I was ready to kick to the curb because it wouldn't work on induction, then my husband suggested to try it on my smallest burner. Worked like a charm! Goodwill and random family will benefit from my older pans, many of which were expensive.Customer

Very attractive, cooks well. Super easy to clean. Only reason it didn't get 5 stars is that the cake pan is soooo small, it's not worth bothering with, and the tools supplied are not enough so you have to buy more!Michael

This cookware not only heats evenly but also shortens cooking time due to its construction. It pours smoothly due to the lip edge. I like the clear lids for assessing what is going on in the pot. This set of cookware has been faulted for not keeping its shiny new look. That is true, but anyone who really cooks will have pots that look like they are used. If you want shiny spotless pots, just hang your cookware on the wall and don’t use it. You won’t regret this purchase. I use mine on a glass top electric range. But I have ordered an induction range and needed this new cookware.Mary

We are loving these pans! One pan came with a slight defect. We contacted Customer service and they sent us a replacement without any hassle. They couldn't have been more helpful. If you are coming from other kinds of cookware, you might find keeping these pans shiny and beautiful really does require using Barkeepers Friend occasionally. We love the quality of these pans and will buy more Cuisinart products in the future.Arlene in Upstate NY

I've only had the stainless-steel cookware set for about a month, so it's still a little too soon to give a well-informed review. So far, I've only used the small sauce pan/pot for my morning oatmeal. It heats up very nicely, especially considering that I don't need to go any higher than a medium flame (as the care and maintenance manual suggests). In the past I stayed away from stainless steel cookware because I too often saw how quickly & badly they get burned – even worse trying to remove/clean-off those burns. But now I know better as to how to prevent the burns and remove them. With that said, I have been impressed how nicely this pot can get & and stay clean and shiny. On the down side, the oatmeal does leave a slight mark/stain, but the manual does say that that is not uncommon. I have a feeling that baking soda and lemon (or vinegar) might be able to bring back that original sparkle. Also on the downside, I am a little disappointed that there are already a few tiny scratches inside the base of the pot. What makes it surprising for me is that I have literally only used a wooden spoon inside, and wood should not scratch. But other than that, I am happy with the set. Stay tuned for an update a few months from now.Steevo A.

Honestly moving into my first grown up apartment all my own I wanted to get a set of pots and pans. After a ton of research Caraway came up top. I visited the site and loved all the colors but wasn’t a fan of the silver handle. While digging around I saw they did this collab with Crate & Barrel. First of all the colors are adorable and I love the gold handle. Obviously if you’re a cook your pots will start to get a bit of wear and tear over time but I love them so much. Just wish I had second set for show and one for use. The pots cook great, just don’t overdo it with a hot flame. Even though my pots are pretty worn at this point they cook great and still make me happy when I see them. Honestly debating getting a second set to replace my first one in a few years. Hopefully they continue this collab so I can buy it again.Ollie_Oxen

They are beautiful! They have a nice weight and the minimalist set is great. But… they are not for people who cook a lot. I’ve had the set going on 2 years and they’re infuriating. They are not non stick, they cannot tolerate high heat, and will never come clean with just a soft sponge. The outside cream color is stained and cannot be cleaned. If you’re looking for a set to actually cook with that is worth the price tag this is not your set.JaCamp

I love them! Have use them for about 2 weeks now and it works perfectly. The color is gorgeous and does make my kitchen POP. There is some wear in one of the pana we use the most, but with a color so light, I was expecting that. Cleaning in them is a breeze and I love the storage system a lot. I would absolutely stick to it and whenever the color fades, I’ll re purchase a new set. If you want something that lasts a little longer, go for a darker color.Leomil

The set itself seemed good, and cooks well, but unfortunately the coating started coming off with normal hand washing almost immediately. No dishwasher or harsh soap, and already the coating is gone from most of the set after being used 2-3 times each week for about a month. Would advise getting a different set or from a different brand entirely, for the price this is pretty unacceptable to me.Hunter D.

I've had nothing but excellent performance from both my Hexclad frying pan set and the pot set. After getting tired of cheap teflon cookware that dents, scratches, and contaminates my food, it was time for me to step up to a more professional and safe cookset. I kept seeing Hexclad ads pop up on my social media for months, and finally looked into them thoroughly. Online reviews, Youtube videos, and even Hexclad's own videos and documentation were researched with a fine toothed comb until I made an educated decision to order them and give them a try myself. First, I was truly concerned with how "nonstick" they would be with a manfacturing process that seemed so unique. So, I watched their "how to season your pan" video and also went back online to watch other peoples personal videos on their technique for seasoning and cooking. As soon as I got my new pans, I hand washed them and immediately seasoned all 6 of them with either olive oil, butter, or peanut oil. The non-stick results for me were exactly the same after this process – truly no stick eggs, cheese, seared meat, and about anything else sticky I could throw at them. I'll be honest – I did season a couple of pans 2-3 times before first use, but it wasn't necessary. The pans with the initial single seasoning worked just as good at being non-stick as the ones where I performed it multiple times. I confidently make amazing meals now without having a single issue of food sticking to these products. I'm blown away with not only how well they cook food, but how sexy they look and feel when cooking. Heavy, heat disperses extremely well even on the largest fry pan or stock pot, that hex pattern on the pans gets wows from guests, and clean-up is pretty much instant. I never need to soak these pots/pans – they literally clean up and wipe off just like the Hexclad demo videos show. Thank you Hexclad for not being misleading about your product descriptions or videos – your product truly performs the way you demonstrate. I look forward to cooking with my Hexclad cookware. I probably sound like a commercial, but these products have completely changed my outlook on cooking good food safely and with zero hassle.Adam

Have been using this for several weeks and am VERY impressed with the quality of construction, ease of clean up and non stick surface. The handles are sturdy, ergonomic and are riveted to the pans very tightly. They clean up with hot water, mild soap and very infrequently when blackening meat I need a green scrubbing pad to remove the stubborn blackening. These are much lighter than the cast iron but slightly heavier than the carbon steel. However, the carbon requires constant re-seasoning to keep them from sticking and they will rust if not dried fully and coated after cleaning. The hex clad is MUCH more forgiving to not being fully dry as it is stainless steel. The ONLY reason for not giving 5 stars is that they seem a bit more expensive than they should be. My belief is that if they were 15-20% less they would be well priced to outsell similarly priced competition.Charles

We purchased this to expand our collection and to replace the rest of our cookware after testing the starter set sold at costco for nearly two years. We have used, and wore out several upper-mid level brands of cookware over the years. Hexclad has impressed us. This cookware heats evenly and with use of a small amount of oil or fat rarely sticks. Granted this cookware is not as non-stick as brand new calphelon, t-fal or faberware – but it holds up so much better than these and other brands we have used. Even with primary nylon and some wooden utensil use, and dishwasher jet (not scrubbing) cleaning these nonstick products began to show wear after 6-8 months of daily use. The Hexclad has not shown evidence of wear or degradation of its nonstick qualities in nearly two years of daily usage. This cookware uses less fat or oil and heats more evenly than our stainless steel cookware as well. This is testament of our long term trial of the related pans. New cookware above a certain quality mark is almost always better than the set it replaces… so yes, these pots are awesome, the two year old pans are still awesome too – and in my mind that is the greater accolade. Our previous experience with multiple brands of cookware that cost 70% what the hexclad does, we replaced those at 3-5 years. With the current lack of signs of wear, I anticipate 10 or more years before we consider replacement. In the long run it is cheaper, and better.Chris
