20 Best Lightweight Cookware For Seniors (2023 Updated)

Incredibly nonstick, you could almost call it self-cleaning. I stopped using oil completely with no problem. Gorgeous to look at, much more lightweight than it appears, the handles and knobs are perfectly ergonomic and pleasant to the touch.

I only use it on an induction cooktop, so everything still looks brand new. My cooking sabbatical of twelve years while I pursued a doctorate has ended in spite of myself.

cookware arrived on time! Love the set so far. i hope they are worth the wait. So far I love the quality and the color. The color looks just like the picture. Lets see if they cook good. I’ll let you know! lol.

I wouldn’t have even given these a star but it made me. I bought a whole set (bakeware as well) at the beginning of the year. I wish I would have saved my receipt!!! After just a couple uses food was so stuck I have to use a Mr Clean magic eraser to get the residue off (and even that hasn’t taken everything off), the handles get extremely hot, the metal around the lids warped and everything has burned using the bakeware.

Never have I placed these in the dishwasher (the site & manual recommends that you don’t). I have never been so disappointed in my life with regards to cookware. Currently I am saving my money to replace this set with something of more quality and that will last longer than just a few months.

I didn’t even want to give them 1 star. But i had to so i could do this review. I bought this set because i have heard good things about them. Boy was i disappointed. They was the WORSE pots and pans i have ever bought.

I would of been better off going to the dollar store buying a cheap set. I had to throw most of them away. If something sticks, your not getting it out. I don’t care how much you scrub. This has definitely been the worse set of pots and pans i ever bought.

I went and bought Racheal Ray pots and Pans and there great. SO BEWEAR OF BLUE DIAMOND. THERE JUNK AND YOU WILL END UP THROWING THEM AWAY.

My Blue Diamond set lasted through expected warranty date. But after a year, I started to have nothing but sticking problems. I always use silicone or plastic utensils in my pots and pans. I also use nonstick sprays of oils in my cookware.

I would never buy this junk again. It was a waste of my time and money. If I could, I’d look for the manufacturer and shove it up their rectums. Don’t buy this junk or waist your time or money buying this product.

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.

When I first got them, I loved the set. Seemed very sturdy and looked like extreme top shelf. Purchased in august and the bottom of the pans have already begun chipping- I had never put them in the dishwasher.

They also wobble now, no more flat pans staying on heat. Also, the pans are extremely small, you cannot make pasta in any of them, especially with sauce or it will be all over your stove top. When I make spaghetti, i have to make the meat, set it aside and then make the sauce separately.

This pans are amazing for the price. The only downside is that I wish the handles were solid construction. In my opinion this gives them a “cheap” appearance. Otherwise, cooking with these pans is a pleasure.

Everything just slides off the cooking surfaces and they cleanup every easily.

The ceramic nonstick surface is great. It is used for making omelette in the morning. I would like the pan edges to point up rather than curving outward. This would make flipping the omelette easier.

Now a spatula is used for flipping.

I bought a set of Greenpan pots and pans for myself and I rave about them every time I use them. I love them so much, I bought my daughter a set for Christmas. They are absolutely non-stick, you really don’t even need to use oil or butter.

Healthier in every way!.

I recently moved my large family into a camper while we build our house. I did a LOT of research on pots and pans before purchasing these. What do I love? I purchased the yellow set… they are a beautiful muted yellow.

They heat quickly and my food doesn’t stick to them (so far). It came with decent cooking utensils. What do I hate? They scratch SO easily. I have them in a cabinet by themselves and they scratch one another on the inside just being stacked together.

I don’t even want to call it scratching, because my large pot actually has a chunk out of it. The bottoms were tore up (scratched) after the first use on my camper stove, which is gas, even though I avoided moving them around.

The handle on one is burned, even though I cooked on low that time, and the pot was completely over the flame. One of the lids seems to be bent a bit and I have to maneuver it just to get it on a pot.

Based off what I read, the set seemed to be able to accommodate cooking for my family of 6, however most of the set is much too small to use to make food for such a large family. This was a huge disappointment.

They came with instructions, and I followed them… I only use plastic cooking utensils and medium/low heat when cooking, etc. I was hoping they would be great, so I could purchase another set when we move into our house, but I am just disappointed.

I’ll be finding something better quality when the time comes.

These are beautiful pans and they distribute heat/clean so nicely! I originally bought the purple set of pots and pans and liked them so well that I quickly went back and bought the large, navy sauté pan.

After two uses with the large sauté pan I noticed scratches on the bottom. I didn’t do anything crazy or use sharp metal against the pan or anything like that. I contacted the company and all they said was that they were still safe to use.

Don’t get me wrong! I’m glad they’re safe to use despite the scratches. I’m just confused as to why there would be such an emphasis on aesthetic for it to come off so easily. Since then the sauté pan from the original purple set had quite a few dings on the bottom and I’ve only had them for a couple months.

They’re still great pans but my goodness do they scratch easily.

I bought these as a house warming gift for my friend because he loves coming over and using my green life pans. I cook all the time and then my roomate uses the pans after me so they gotten used everyday for the past 2 years and sometimes even twice a day (thus equivalent to 3 years of wear and tear).

I bought them because my step mom has had them for 4 years and they still look and function as new. I hand wash and use silicone cookware just to be cautious. The pans also heat so quickly and cook food evenly which is nice because I hate when food in the center cooks faster.

They are also as much as ur standard pan set of its size, but the value is the best of the best. Will never buy any other brand. Since buying them I have had 2 of my friend also purchase and they all say the same.

I bought my pan set in store and the lid was damaged, I worked with costumer service and they got me a whole new pan and lid. So there customer service is also incredible.

The first time I purchased T-fal was for my Mother in the early ’80s and now I have and use that skillet. In 2014 I purchased a full set which is perfectly fine, but there were a few pieces I didn’t have and wanted.

The price was right and this brand keeps getting better with style and ease of use. When and if you see a bad review on this set it’s due to the owner not using the item correctly! Season before use according to directions, Hand wash if you want them to stay looking brand new, and NEVER cook on high heat! Treat them like the jewels they are and you will not regret your purchase and will be a life long believer.

I ordered these after reading multiple reviews on how good of pots these are. I usually buy tasty pots because they’re great, but I decided to give these a try. Wasted my money. The bottom is supper slick so they slide all over the stove, and when I walked away the pot fell from the stove and bent.

This was my first time using them. I’m going to stick to what I know from now on.

Have this set in red for about 2 years. Very easy to clean. The handles do tend to become very loose after a few uses. You can retighten them, but you shouldn’t have to. They are nonstick pans which are great.

These will last me about 2-3 more years before needing to purchase new ones. They are great quality and pricing is affordable for the amount of pots and pans etc.

Absolutely dreadful pans ! Before use I seasoned them as recommended and the first month was great ! Then things started sticking, and staining no matter how much you try to clean them. Cleaned them well and reseasoned them.

No luck, still awful. Six months later and they’re useless. I have to season them at minimum once a month, and everything still sticks to them now. And no, I dont use metal utensils of any kind with them.

Complete waste of money and now I have to purchase another cookware set.

IšverstiShow in original languageHello, I have been looking for a way to get “out” of the teflon pans I have been using all these years, pans I paid a lot for, originally. These Caraway pans are perfect and I love every aspect of them yet I still have suggestions which I’ll come to in a minute.

First, these pans are beautiful and made of solid but not too-heavy metal, so as an older person, they are not too hard to pick up, even the largest of them. The ceramic lining is the perfect solution to replacing teflon, and cleaning them is a breeze.

Here are my suggestions: These pans were made in a size meant for a family of four or more – which means they are basically too large for the average 2-person couple or even one person. I would love to see at least three sizes smaller on the handled pot (not the big one, but the one with a single handle.

) We often use small pans for making items for just two. I already had another brand in the very small fry pans, but if you would have had them, I would have purchased them from you first. One other suggestion: It would be nice if you had an option where the tops were glass and a little curved up.

The flat-tops (which are nice and come with a very cool wall-hanger for them) are awkward to work with when taking it off of the pan when something is boiling, it drips on the stove so even though cork rounds are included to put the tops on, it is not enough, because you have to get that dripping top TO the cork, and it isn’t big enough for the larger tops.

A top which is slightly curved up handles this problem in my opinion. I am suggesting glass for the tops because many cooks love to be able to look into the cooking food without having to lift the top to do so, and considering the provided-for tops are flat and drip quite a bit when you lift them, a glass-top option would be much appreciated.

And if you come up with some small, smaller and smallest pans, I promise I will buy them all from you and I assure you, so will many more people. And one more thing: I would love to replace my extra-large soup pans for cooking for groups, so a size or two larger would be great, too.

In other words, I really hope you diversify as these pans catch on. They are great and to tell you how great they are, I rarely if ever fill out these surveys, so it takes something great for me to do so.

Thank you.

IšverstiShow in original languageLet me start by saying that I have had this cookware set for less than 2 months. I have the marigold and this set is very pretty. Unfortunately, looks alone cannot make a good set! I am not rich and I just moved.

I purchased this set with the hopes that it would last me a lifetime if I took great care of it, so I’m extremely disappointed to say that parts of the coating have already chipped despite me not putting any part of this set in the sink, using soft sponges and silicone only utensils, not dragging on the stove, and following every little detail in the instructions to the very best of my abilities.

This set will NOT last a lifetime, even with exhaustive tenderness. I am heartbroken, honestly. For something this expensive, I expected at least a year without damages. As I said earlier, I have the marigold set.

Stains catch in the exterior easily and are nearly impossible to get out considering you have to wait until the pans are completely cooled before cleaning and you can’t use anything too abrasive. The smaller fry pan has the worst internal coating despite my best efforts and already things are getting stuck.

True nonstick should not have any need for butter or oil, but yet you need it and I use it despite it not helping as much as they claim. There are several imperfections in the interior coating, like a tiny bubble in one of the fry pans that drives me totally insane because I think it is food stuck on it when washing.

The lids scrape against the top edges of the pans (which damages the coating on both items!!) if you try to turn the handle slightly while it’s already on the pan, which REALLY frustrated me. The handles on all parts get far too hot, even beyond the notching that is supposed to protect you, so I’ve already burned myself pretty badly on one of the lids.

I had a huge, nasty blister for about a week, and now a fresh pink scar on my thumb. Overall I am giving this 3 stars because it’s a pretty set and for a (very) limited time, it will function as advertised.

However, if you cook daily like I do, it won’t last long despite your best efforts to treat each piece as a delicate little baby that can’t handle even the slightest ding. What a shame, truly. I had decided early that I didn’t want to go through the return process and already thrown out the boxes because I live in an apartment so I feel like I’m stuck with this set and it’s not amazing, save for the first 2 weeks.

:/.

IšverstiShow in original languageBeautiful cookware but poor quality. These pans look great but aren’t very functional; they lose their non-stick coating very quickly, they stain very easily, and the lids are not ergonomically designed.

Within a few months of purchasing the pans they have lost their non-stick coating and so I continue to have to use oil to prevent food from sticking. This is one of the main selling points so I’m very disappointed it did not hold up.

I bought the Cookware Set in gray and this color does not mix with a gas stovetop. The outside of my pots and pans all have a brown stain at the bottom where the gas flames heat the cookware. Additionally, the gray cookware stains very easily and they are hard to remove.

I’ve using vinegar and baking soda with a ton of elbow grease scrubbing and these stains still will not come out. Lastly, the lids/handles to the cookware are not heat resistant at all. The handle is not very tall and is not insulated in any way so if you are boiling or simmering something the metal handle will become very hot, too hot to the touch, and you will need a kitchen mit or rag to pick it up.

However, since the handle does not come off the lid very much it is impossible to get a kitchen mit under the handle to lift the lid. The same goes for the handles on the sides of the pot. They are not heat resistant at all and will become too hot to touch if you are cooking anything.

Overall, I’m very disappointed in the cookware set given its price. I expected to have beautiful non-stick pans that lasted for years, but they barely stayed that way for a few months. I delayed writing this review for a while but I am fed with the pots now that I have begun to cook more often and felt the need to share this information.

If you don’t cook much but want to have beautiful cookware out for display on your counter, get a Caraway set. If you want functional cookware that lasts, find another brand.

Well, I purchased this set on another retailer website, and paid an unbelievable price for this set, too good to be true. It was shipped prompt. Could not wait to try out my new pans. I have many name brands Sets of Pans from high price to low price, and sometime, the lower priced brands, believe it or not, seem to cook and clean better.

Price has no bearing for me at all. When I received my set, I followed the instructions to a T, and yes, I season the pans after cleaning them and following the instructions. So, I wanted to see what all the hype is about, and made a simple sunny side up egg, using no oil or butter, as their claim is nothing sticks to the pan.

Because their Cookware is mineral infused with a granite coating. which the Mfg. Claims makes their Cookware Non-Stick, and easy clean up. Well, I put the 8 in pan to the test as stated above cooking a sunny side up egg which I do very often with other Non-Stick pans and they don’t stick using no oil, or butter.

So, I cracked my egg into my little dish, season my egg as I normally do, and proceeded to cook my Sunnyside Up Egg. I do not know what the heck happened, this was only an egg, but it stuck to the pan like glue, and believe me the words coming out of my mouth, were not nice, I was not a happy camper.

The pan did clean easy, past that test, but in all honesty, and being completely sincere, I doubt the claims that their Cookware is 100% Non-Stick as other Name Brands I have that make that same claim, really are, I have had the set for 6 years, and still can use with no oil or butter.

Not this set. Which upsets me to no end. I love the way the pans look, absolutely love the color, they clean up good, but what good is a pan if it states NON-STICK, but a little egg Sunnyside Up, stuck to the pan like glue.

Not Happy, and sorry you can have your opinions, and by my test, it does not past the 100% NON-STICK. This set is pressed from Aluminum, and it is Layered 3 times, with a Special Coating, which is supposed to give their Cookware, the NON-STICK SLOGAN.

This set comes with an 8. 5 10. 25 but I doubt that is the actual size, does not look as large as other 10 In. pans I have and a 2 qt saucepan with lid. I could not wait to receive this set, but very disappointed in its ability to cook without sticking horribly to the pan.

That great fantastic price I paid, means nothing, if the set does not live up to all the Hype that is out there.

I started digging my heels into cooking earlier this year, so I needed some really good cookware and bakeware to up my game. This set has not let me down yet! I love that it’s nonstick, and I don’t have to fidget with oils and butter, or anything else I may have allergies to.

Being able to use metal utensils has been a big help, especially because I like to cook in big batches and store things in the freezer, and sometimes metal utensils is the only thing that will work. This is a great way to introduce yourself to amazing cookware and bakeware.

I’m actually going to add to my collection of Granitestone and get some other pots, pans, and other things that will be useful. I used to only like Farbreware, but I’m not converted to Granitestone! Do yourself a favor; add this to your cart, get a few other items from Granitestone, and check out with EasyPay.

You won’t regret it!.

I received these just yesterday and at first site I thought about returning them. The green is not as green as the picture, more a dark dark green, pretty though (I love most greens). The steamer fits into the skillet, not the largest pot.

The handles are going to get hot. The lids have a steam seep hole which I like, no pour spout so it’ll be a good seal. This morning as I was preparing to return these I decided to give one a try and made scrambled eggs, absolutely no oil or spray in the pan the absolutely nothing stuck, it was crazy, we’re talking scrambled eggs! Heated nicely, cooked evenly and clean up was a simple rinse with the faucet! The only sticking was on the rivets that attach the handle but that is just life.

Nice sizes but I would like a larger, deeper skillet to have been in the set. If you are in need of a new set (and I was, desperately) of cookware, give this one a try. I think you’ll be pleased. Blessing to all, ljm.

Wow, I am so happy with these! This is an amazing cookware set. First off, the variety in the set is very good, it includes both pans and pots, which are both essential. The size of the pans vary good, and they range from 8” to 10”.

These are so cool. As for the quality of this, they are top tier. They are pretty heavy as they are hard anodized, but nothing too much. They are super sturdy and these will literally last you forever.

These are truly nonstick. I made egg without any type of oil and it came out perfect. I’ve been using these for a long time now and I’ve had absolutely zero problems with sticking. They are super incredible, I am honestly in love! Another incredible thing about this is that you can switch up the tops to accommodate for whatever you need.

I also really enjoy these pots because of the new technology that it has built in. These are “space-savers” which is incredible. You are able to stack them up really nicely without them having to lean.

They stay nice and in place. They heat up very well, and also cook the food very well. I absolutely love these, I’d definitely recommend. The quality is top tier and absolutely amazing.

I enjoy cooking for my family. I find it satisfying and relaxing. This set just helped me elevate my cooking and I couldn’t be more pleased. This is hands down the best set of pans that I have ever owned.

The non-stick is wonderful and it makes for healthier cooking, as you don’t have to add oil or non-stick spray to the pans. Food does not stick at all! They all have a nice weight to them, it makes them feel solid and sturdy.

The fact that the lids are universal amongst the set is one of my favorite things. It means that I don’t have a bunch of lids taking up space in my cabinet. I found the way that the lid sits flush in the pan to be rather neat as well.

The handles feel good and grippy too. Lastly, the way these all stack to nicely together is just the icing on the cake. The whole set takes up so little space! I’ve always enjoyed using Calphalon products in my kitchen, but this set is by far my favorite thing in my kitchen nowadays.

I’ve been using Calphalon cookware for over a decade. This set is awesome — great mix of sizes and lids and I love that space saving aspect. Plus, they’re oven safe up to 400 degrees so you can finish dishes in the oven or under the broiler.

They all stack up so you can neatly store them in a cabinet (versus oddly shaped piles all over the kitchen!) So far the non-stick coating has held up beautifully, even with the stacking. No scratches yet! The space saving lids are also a God-send.

No more awkward handles! Definitely recommend this set to anyone who needs a great set of cookware that will last and store easily.

I’ve had this set for a little over 2 years. I LOVE the T-Fal brand, but the handles on the pots are way too long for my gas stove top. The length makes them too heavy on the handle side and they wan to tip.

I’ve only used non-metal utensils in them and the coating is starting to wear away. Also, the seams on the lids aren’t tight to the glass. The liquid will boil out of the pain through the lid! A bit disappointed.

Anyone who does a lot of general cooking, like me, probably dreads the cleanup afterwards, especially when non stick is not really non stick. Due to this I have been looking for a better set of pots and pans for general use and got the chance to give the Calphalon Classic Hard-Anodized Nonstick 10-Piece Cookware Set a go and I am extremely impressed! So lets get cooking! Packaging and In the Box – The first thing I noticed was the packaging, literally a place for everything and everything in it’s place.

The packaging was extremely well thought out and everything was well placed and protected. In the box you get an 8” frying pan, a 10” frying pan, a 1. 5qt Sauce Pan, a 2. 5qt Sauce Pan, a 3qt Sauce Pan, a 6qt Stock Pot, and 4 lids 3 of which are strainer lids! Use/Features – First off let me say that when you have non-stick cookware DO NOT use cooking sprays, they tend to leave a residue that makes things stick.

I prefer a light coating of olive oil with a paper towel. That said cooking with this set has been amazing! Everything I have prepared so far has truly not stuck and cleanup has been very easy afterwards.

The built in pour spouts are a god send as are the strainer lids. While I always pre-measure what I use to cook with there are measure marks that can be taken advantage of. Per the manufacturer these can be used directly in the oven but I have not had the opportunity to try that as of yet.

All in all this has been one of the best non stick cookware sets I have used over the years. The build quality is excellent and when Calphalon says non stick it really is!.

This 14 piece set is an absolute marvel of ingenuity. These have a nonstick coating that is made with water-based nonstick for exceptional perfoamce that allows you to cook and serve even the most delicate foods with ease and the hard-anodized exterior is dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup , but I found I didn’t need the dishwasher, these Neely even needed soap.

They almost clean themselves. I love the silicone No-Boil-Over inserts that prevent spills and over boiling ! There’s also convenient measuring marks inside each saucepan along with pour spouts and these are handy for literally everything! Stay-cool, silicone comfort-grip handles provide added comfort and heat resistance when you go to pick these up off the stove.

This set of pots and pans are oven-safe up to 400 degrees F, so they can go from the stovetop to the oven for heating and cooking versatility. Best set of pans ever !.

I bought the red set. The next day the price went up from 69. 99 to 89. 99 so I had to double check and make sure I got it for 69. 99 and I did. Delivery was fast, within two days. After reading the reviews I was scared I might get dented products.

I checked all the pots and pans and lids, luckily everything was in tacked and good condition, no dents, no broken pots, lids or pans. So far easy clean up and cooking is great, no complaint so far. I own a couple of t-fal single products so I took a chance on this set and am not disappointed.

I will update my review if anything changes after a few months of usage. Good luck to everyone, hope you receive outstanding product like I did.

I love this set! It is my first nice cookware and a total change from what I was using before, which was a dangerously scratched and flakey non-stick set from Walmart. These All-Clad Pots and Pans are perfect for “everyday use” so the name fits.

I do use them every single day. I like the handles much better than the traditional All-Clad handles. I do wish the pictures shown on the site were accurate. the handles in the pictures show a dip for the thumb.

This dip is not present on the handles of the actual pots and pans so that was a surprise upon delivery. I would have liked the thumb dip, but I suppose it is harder to produce and was removed as a cost cutting measure.

Nevertheless these are great pots and pans and the handles are still nice without the dip. There is a learning curve to getting the heat just right to add oil and start cooking but once achieved these pans are not sticky at all and are great for cooking all types of dishes.

I am a big fan. I am happy to find a quality product that is Made in America. I was a metal fabricator for over 6 years, specifically in steel and stainless steel, so I know the amount of work that goes into these.

I love to see the old school craftsmanship. I hope the Everyday line is expanded to include a steamer set or some more varying sizes of pots and pans as I am interested in expanding my set over time.

I spent months researching the best post and pans and I came across this brand. I had high hopes given all the amazing reviews, but I am so disappointed. I received my D3 cookware set and was so excited because they felt like great quality and looked great.

I tried them out to make sure they were good and was happy with the way it cooked the food. However, even after following proper cleaning instructions, the pans are all terribly stained. They look like they were purchased 10 years ago.

And now since they have been used, I cannot return them so I am stuck with them. For the hefty price, I expected a lot more. I am so upset and definitely would NOT recommend anyone purchase this set.

I bought them for my future home. I’m glad I tested them out now imagine I store them away and then finally unbox them at my new house and this is what I see. Cannot stress enough how upset I am about this.

Why would I not be able to return after using them? How am I supposed to know if they are good if I don’t test them out? Terrible return policy. Will never recommend this to anyone.

These were a replacement for Calphalon non stick anodized aluminum. We wanted nontoxic option for cookware. These are great because you use less heat while cooking and the heat is more evenly distributed through the pans.

Note to new users turn the heat down a bit or you’ll get scorching and smoking until you figure this out. These are cleaned pretty regularly with the recommended bar keepers friend powder, both inside and out, since we use a gas stove.

This keeps them looking nice and keeps them nonstick. Very important. Just a nice set to have and not worry about PFOAS, aluminum, and other toxic coatings. We originally bought the 12″ fry pan to see if we liked this D5 All Clad material.

Took some getting used to until we learned to turn the heat down. Our old Calphalon had to have a high heat to to get through the heavy pans. These do not, and they’re easier to lift.

I purchased these to upgrade our cookware set my husband and I got for our wedding 4 years ago. Going from a cheap Target set of chipped (probably unsafe) pots and pans to THIS set was incredible. They are true to being nonstick and are also pretty to look at.

I’ve already received a couple compliments on their looks. I’d recommend carefully following the directions and oiling them before use. We choose to not put them in the dishwasher to keep them in the best shape possible.

Also, using wooden or soft utensils in them is a must. One of the handles on the largest pot came to us loose, thankfully it is a screw and my husband can tighten it himself. I would consider them high quality without being outrageously pricy.

“Just right” for our simple needs. I would recommend Carote.

Beautiful cookware. I love the aesthetic with the wood. The pots are very sturdy and hardy, I am not always gentle putting them on the stove but theres not been any damage or scratching. The nonstick works perfectly.

The variety of sizes is perfect for almost everything you need, I only wish there was a stock pot size included. You can do everything, cook steaks, make stir fry, pasta sauce, soup, curries. The only other pot you need is a large stock pot for boiling pasta or making broth, and cast iron/dutch oven for things that need to go in the oven since these pots cannot.

Overall I am extremely pleased with my set and I would recommend it to anyone, beginners, homecooks or professionals.

Normally I don’t write reviews, but I must say these nonstick pans have exceeded my expectations. The finish on the handles is quite nice because they have a wood grain appearance that is coated in a velvet soft-touch coating.

The metal of the pans themselves are fairly thick and have an excellent heat distribution. The nonstick is very effective and most foods can simply be rinsed off. If you cook fried eggs, simply use just a touch of butter or nonstick spray to extend the life of the surface.

When you have finished cooking the eggs, you can simply wipe them clean with a clean paper towel sheet. The quality of the product itself makes these pans an excellent value. My suggestion for you is to use just a touch of oil or butter unless you’re cooking something very fatty.

When you’re done you can simply wipe the pan. The only negative I can say about this product is the durability of the surface can be prone to scratching, this is expected and I’d highly advise not using any metal utensils and only use wood, silicon, or high temp plastic cooking utensils.

I would highly advise purchasing these pans if you’re looking for a non-professional cooking set that offers the greatest level of value for the price.

I took my time submitting this review to get a full experience with this set. Researched and compared to other types of non-stick cookware. I am very pleased and now looking to purchase more pots/pans.

This was my first time using non-anodized aluminum. You dont have to necessarily use oil or butter to keep from sticking because it will use the food’s natural juice. Just a teeny bit will do. As instructed DO NOT use in dishwasher.

We did one time and it discolored the rubber handles. So far no issues with the non-stick part. DO NOT use metal utensils because it will scratch. Overall it’s great.

I really searched for a good quality but affordable pan. This is the one. It really holds a good amount and is deep. I really like the glass lid. Very happy would purchase more from this brand. The Hard-Anodized Induction Nonstick Frying Pan with Lid is wonderful.

My food doesn’t stick and heats up evenly. I left food in it after I cooked one time, because I was so tired. The next evening it was so easy to wash, no scrubbing!!! Would definitely recommend. I will purchase another one!.

Skillet or saucepan. This thing does both. The nonstick is extremely slick. Fried eggs don’t dare stick to the surface—even sunny side up eggs just slide right off and onto the plate. The generous size means I can fry 4 eggs at once, speeding up cooking time for feeding a crowd.

Also enjoy using this pan as a sauce pan. The higher walls enable me to simmer several quarts of sauce. Overall, an incredibly versatile pan that just works really well.

Look, you get what you pay for. At this price, you know these aren’t going to be the most heavy-duty pots and pans on the market — and that’s fine. Not everyone needs to have professional chef-quality cookware in their home.

I’m a single person living alone who cooks for themself a few times per week. This cookware meets my needs very well. The lids fit, the non-stick coating works, and the red is pretty (bonus). No complaints.

I’ve purchased 3 of these sets. One for a vacation home, one for my mom, and the first set for myself to use during a move when my “good” cookware was and still is packed up. I’ve been using my set for six months with no problem.

I have an electric stove and never, ever go above medium heat when using any non-stick coated cookware. You’re not supposed to use high heat with non-stick coated cookware, not even the expensive stuff.

I also hand wash my pots and pans. My set is still shiny and bright as the day I purchased it as a result with the exception of one small brown mark on the bottom of one pot where I believe there was something stuck on the burner that caused a reaction.

I’ve had no problems with this set, I use it daily, it washes up well, the non-stick is great. If you take proper care of this set you should have the same experience. I don’t expect it to last years and years, but I don’t see why it wouldn’t last a year or two.

If you use high heat that will burn and warp such a thin, lightweight piece, it is thin and lightweight. If you throw this in the dishwasher with powder detergent or water treatment that will cause etching, you will lose the shine.

I don’t know how this would hold up on a gas stove, but I would imagine a lot of the complaints about burn marks and warping are due to too high of heat or open flame. Having said that, this is a great starter set.

I LOVE that the saute pan has a lid! This is also a great set for seniors who may have trouble lifting heavier cookware.

Seriously so impressed. This is the first set of pots and pans for my bf and myself. We got it on sale for $65 which is a steal for what these are. I was shocked at how light they are so I have no issues picking them up with my weak limped wrists.

They’re also so flat on the bottom and cook evenly unlike our old mix n match pot and pans. The lids are also amazing. It’s so hard to get lids that can fit all your pots and pans. But this set only has one pan (the smaller one) that doesn’t have a perfect fit lid.

Every other pot and pan can have a lid that fits. Cooks food amazing and is super non stick! So glad I decided to get these!.

These are awesome. I’m 99% sure the low ratings are coming from untaught individuals. Feeble minded people don’t realize they need to care for Teflon pots and pans differently than their old cheap set.

You can’t over heat them or use anything that can scratch them. Only Softer items like sponges to clean and wood or plastic utensils to cook with. You Should also wash them by hand, dish washer will ruin them.

When I was younger my girlfriend’s mom taught me this and their set definitely lasted. Side note not really related, a good knife set should also stay out of the dish washer. The harsh cleaning will make them dull very quick.

These are pretty good, they’re light weight, sturdy, and truly non-stick. The heat is evenly distributed through out the pan which produces a nice even cook. The handles are sturdy, and provide a good grip without getting too hot.

The lids fit well, and are good for steaming. The lids also are durable, and have a silicone grip as well. It says the pans are dishwasher safe, however I’m a little sketchy about it so I’m just going to hand wash with a soft bristle brush.

They’re super easy to clean as well. Overall, I think this is a good set for the price, especially a good beginner set. If you handle them carefully and take care of them I see these lasting a long time.

Used a couple times now… nothing sticks. I did receive a pan that was scratched and after unboxing I didn’t feel like putting back everything together and ship it back, so I kept the set. I don’t know if it will hold up.

I am ok with the price, hope it lasts me at least 2years.

It is a very nice set but smaller than I would have hoped. I was looking for a unicorn and this hit the mark. I wanted no screws on the inside of the pan (much easier cleaning) and something that could withstand a 400 degree oven.

This is one of the only ones that I found. Overall the only reason I gave it 45 stars was simply the size.

Definitely pleased with this set! Super easy to clean, handles don’t get hot, truly a nonstick pan without the unnecessary chemicals. Very happy with this purchase. My only complaint is that they don’t stack on top of each other very well, but besides that, they’re great.

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.

I bought this set a few months ago for a few reasons. 1. We’d had our old set over 10 years & it showed 2. Trying to reduce toxins in my food with cleaner and safer cookware 3. Wanted something that was pretty to cook with.

This set did not disappoint! It’s beautiful, easy to clean, food tastes better, and simply made me want to cook more bc it makes so darn pretty. My only complaint (hence the 4 start review) is theres a little scuff on the outside of the white part of the pan that somehow happened.

Still beautiful but a bit of a bummer since we paid so much and are super careful with washing only with sponges and nothing harsh.

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.
