20 Best Pots And Pans For Electric Cooktop (2023 Updated)

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.

Compared to my other stainless steel pots and pans, I found these to be a lot more lightweight. However, this doesn’t mean they are not good quality. On the contrary, I found them to work better. It usually takes forever to bring water to a boil in my other stainless steel pot or even in my enameled one, but these pots conduct heat a lot better and it takes less time.

I always put the lid (do not completely cover the pot though) to help speed up the boiling process. This cookware set uses 18/10 Stainless Steel, which is one of the best types on the market. 18 and 10 represent the percentages of chromium and nickel alloys added to the stainless steel.

They improve the performance of thes products by protecting them from rust and preventing corrosion. They also provide even distribution of heat. The small sauce pan is perfect for cooking my morning soft boiled eggs or making a small portion of polenta.

I normally use non-stick cookware for polenta, but I found that the polenta did not stick to the pan at all and was, in fact, very easy to remove. I cooked some of my crispy chicken in the pan and that requires a lot of attention.

I failed to add more butter, so I burned the pan a bit. I wasn’t too worried, since I have done that in the past. After the pan cools down, I just add baking soda and vinegar and let it sit for a while.

After that, I add warm water and soap and let it soak. It is very easy to clean. I use a non-abrasive sponge and a mild detergent. I prefer to hand wash my stainless steel cookware, as opposed to using the dishwasher.

If you want to turn it into non-stick cookware, look it up. Using oil you can season it, and this would turn into a non-stick surface. This set has a good variety of sizes – perfect for cooking both small portions of food, or a big batch of soup.

The pan is big enough to cook 2-3 portions of meat or vegetables.

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.

I cannot say enough about this cookware! I was looking for cookware for my new stove. GE recommends stainless steel with flat bottoms for a glass cooktop. This cookware has those two qualities. It has a ceramic non-stick interior for quick clean- up.

I got red because all of our counter appliances are red. As a bonus, the cookware nests to save cabinet space. I never thought I would find cookware with everything I wanted. This set is perfect!.

Great quality. Very nice how they store as well. Heavy duty. Worth the money for sure. They are non stick as well. Glad i made the purchase for my new camper.

What else to say, it’s a magma. Built to last and take a beating. I have a set in my boat and trailer. Compact and durable.

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.

After discussing buying this cookware for quite some time we bit the bullet and made the purchase based on the reviews. I must say we couldn’t be happier with our purchase. We are full-time RVers and these pots and pans fit the bill like no other.

The removable handles and the nesting feature are tremendous space savers. But the best features of this cookware set have nothing to do with space saving. Over the years we have owned many sets of cookware, inexpensive and high end.

I have to say that this is some of the best cookware ever especially for the price. The nonstick surface is excellent. Many times all that is needed is to wipe out the inner surface and put the pan back in its place.

If it needs to be washed they wash so easily you seldom need soap. The weight of the pans is nice and heavy but not so heavy they are hard to use. The heat dispersion and heat retention are excellent.

The only drawback, and it’s a minor one is there is only one lid for the three smaller pots but this is easy enough to overcome when needed.

Purchased this nested cookware set for our new RV in October. As I am a bit of a ‘foodie”. I wanted to purchase purchase cookware that was high quality but also took up a minimum of space. This set checked all the boxes! Only recommendation I have would be to bump up the price and add the colander to the set as it “nests” nicely into the10pc set.

Read that in the literature that came with the set and went back to the website, ordered it and returned the other colander I had purchased!.

Finally scored a cream set a couple of months ago, and they are gorgeous! Seasoned properly, they cook well and the nonstick is easy to clean. However, after multiple times a day use on my fry pan, I will say that it now makes perfect sense to me why cream is not a common color in cookware.

The bottom portion of the pan is now more of a yellow, and the ceramic is chipping and wearing in places. I never wash them while hot. I use barkeepers friend and a nonabrasive cloth, and they have never been in the dishwasher.

All this to say, for light cooking, these are great! They are stunning to look at. But if you intend to use them heavily, I would either look elsewhere or get a darker color (though I suspect you will still have to contend with chipping and wear on the ceramic coating).

If you proceed with the cream, just have managed expectations as to how they will look after a couple of months of wear.

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 languageThe first shipment was marked delivered by FedEx and we were disappointed in FedEx’s service. How does anyone easily “lose” a 50lbs, large box? Needless to say, I provided Caraway with the details of the failed delivery and within a week we received our cookware.

Mind you, a few weeks earlier we received the kitchen linen (apron, towels, mitts) and they are of quality I’ve never held before. Opening the slightly unsecured box resulted in awe as the bright yellow glistened, bringing a huge smile to my face.

Finally, it arrived and we could get rid of our old Teflon pans. The pans come with everything you need but the cook itself. After washing and drying them, we placed them on their plastic racks (which connect to one another magnetically).

The first time cooking with them was seriously unusual because you really must keep the flame low otherwise, you risk burning the oil or butter prematurely and in a worse case scenario (according to the instructions), the pans themselves.

We use a gas stove and don’t need to go beyond a 5 or 6 to boil water. We cook between a 3 and 5 depending on the meal. I recently deep fried “Korean hotdogs” (kids idea) and the plan heats up quickly and evenly.

The even heating alone is worth the purchase. Iron pans and other metal pans aren’t consistent and make cooking a challenge because of unevenness. The pans are heavy. Not terribly heavy, but take note that the instructions indicate where the pans will begin to feel hot on the handle, so if the pan is very hot and it’s heavy to you, just exercise caution.

I close by recommending Caraway because of their expedient customer service, their VERY competitive pricing (compared to others brand you see in shopping centers and stores), and the amazing physical and performance quality of their products.

We’re super impressed.

The order was delivered within about 3 or 4 days. I have owned a set of the same cookware going on four years and they still look almost new. The inner coating surface still looks good and food cooks as good as any thing else I’ve owned.

Even though the pans aren’t very thick, they haven’t begun to warped. There is a stainless steel inlay built into the bottom that makes food cook evenly and seems to keep it from warping. They are doing better than sets costing almost there times more! I’ve been hoping to find another set to buy because of the ongoing durability I’m getting from my first set and the price is really good.

I will be putting the new set in storage for now because the original set is still in great condition!.

I bought these to replace my other collection of pans (some from my mother). I had just bought a new stove and wanted to start fresh. These pans are terrific and work as well as the other copper pans of a famous brand that I also use.

A really good value for the money. My advice for all copper pans: season with cooking oil before first use to keep them slippery and nonstick. I’ve bee cooking up a storm since December and enjoy them very much.

These copper non stick pots + pans make cooking a whole lot easier and completely enjoyable. They clean quickly w/just soap + water and a sponge. I have gifted my children and grandchildren with this remarkable and beautiful set.

Bought this set for myself for Christmas as my other set was going bad and no longer non-stick. I haven’t had any issues with any food sticking, so far everything has slid right off and has been easy to clean.

I cook using this set almost everyday. These pans are very very lightweight, good for those that may have a hard time lifting. Ceramic already has a scratch after cooking and using plastic silicone, hoping this set will last longer than a year or two.

Price was a little high for the overall quality and lightness of the cookware.

Work great and look beautiful. The only downside to this set would be that one of the small pots, the outside of it is peeling and burnt, so I’m unable to use it as every time I go to use it, it stinks up my whole house of burnt.

But besides that one small pot, these work great and look great. And I got them on sale at kohls.

I was gifted this set and I do like the colors it’s offered in. Something that disappointed me were the pans in this set. They were so easily ruined and stained. I rarely use the pans anymore but the pots are still in good shape and I use them often.

There are so many things to love about this set. There’s a size and shape to fit the need of just about everything you can possibly cook. It’s beautiful, I love the gold accents, and it’s toxin-free in just about every way.

The pots and pans distribute heat pretty evenly, so I don’t have to keep rearranging and stirring as I’m cooking. I will say that food only slid right off the pan like you see in the ads for the first few uses; however, the inside is still very easy to clean.

This is important because this set is not recommended for the dishwasher. The major downside for me personally is that the bottom stains extremely easily, and it’s been pretty much impossible to get the stains off no matter how furiously I scrub them.

I only took one star off for this though, since it’s purely cosmetic and it’s not blatantly visible unless you’re looking for it. Overall, it’s a solid product all around — the aesthetics are beautiful and it’s a very practical set for all cooking needs.

I wanted to toss out our well used Teflon pans. I saw this set online and I was sold just by the look of them! I did a little research and purchased this set for my wife. I have to say that when it came my wife was like a kid in a candy store opening up the box.

This cookware is not only made well it’s beautiful! The Silt Green color with the gold plated handles is a show stopper! If you think they look good online wait till you see them and hold them. Nothing sticks to the ceramic coating and they clean up like new.

If your on the fence about purchasing this set think no more BUY IT! Crate & Barrel hit it out of the park with this color! It has that retro country look. This is one of the best purchases I’ve made for our kitchen.

It’s well worth the price! Love it!.

I loved these when I first got them and the set became our everyday cookware. They are lightweight though. I have had the set for about a year now and rather suddenly, they stopped being non-stick. Scrambled eggs stick like mad to the pan.

Everythning cooked in the pans winds up sticking to it. I have to soak them in hot soapy water first and then scrub like mad with a plastic/non-scratch scrubber. The color chipped off the outside fairly soon.

That did not bother me as much as the sudden non-stick demise.

Beautiful design and love the light blue color. However, I’m nervous about cooking rich-colored foods in case it would stain the outside or inside. So far, non-stick feature works great. However, I would have loved the set to include a saucer pan as well.

The two pots just feel a bit too big for me. My biggest complaint so far is that the handles and lid get piping hot. Even with a towel, they still burn and I can see the water sizzle on them if I leave a drop.

This is definitely a safety hazard.

We bought our first Equal Parts cookware about a month and half ago, and it has consistently surpassed our expectations. The design is minimalist yet thoughtful and well executed. The materials are high quality, and the non-stick properties of the set are outstanding.

It’s been a pleasure to cook small to large meals and my wife and I are practically fighting over hand-washing the set because of how easy and satisfying it is. All-in-all, I would absolutely recommend the set, fantastic price/quality ratio, you will not regret it!.

Very disappointed in this product. I have never put these pans in the dishwasher, have never used a metal utensil and have never used the frying pans on high heat. I have mainly cooked with oil or other product to keep things from sticking.

At the beginning they were very good. Now the large frying pan, that I use the most, is sticking terribly, even when using oil or butter. It’s almost unusable. The rest of the cookware is fine. I do wish I had paid attention that these didn’t have glass lids (my last set of Pampered Chef cookware, which lasted almost 25 years, had glass and I got used to that and miss it now).

The handles also get very hot.

I bought these after reading in a consumer magazine that is was one of the top rated sets. Pros: They seem to cook well, with even heat distribution Easy to clean Cons: The interior of the medium sauce pot has become very scratched and pitted.

Although I don’t recall doing anything to cause this, it is possible. The handles on the large pot get Hot, pot holders are required. Biggest con: The exterior finish has not held up at all, as you can see from the photo.

When they arrived they had a nice dark grey finish. Within a couple of uses the color was mottled on the small frying pan. I thought maybe this was caused by something I did. This morning I was washing the medium pot and noticed the finish just came off on the dish clothe.

At this point the finish on all the pieces has either rubbed off or become mottles like the frying pan in the photo. I wonder about the integrity of the set I purchased. Since they function ok, for now I will continue to use them but will be looking for a replacement.

This product was honestly the worst investment I ever made in pots and pans. I purchased it and used it happily for about three weeks, and then the issues began. The outside of the pots and pans looked dry in areas and oily in other areas.

That was the beginning of the issues. I contacted customer service and was told that because I said that my housekeeper may – MAY – have washed one or two in the dishwasher, but I wasn’t sure as she promised me she had not.

And that was it; “you have invalidated the warranty” was all I was told after that. I then mentioned that the product was literally less than two months old and there had to be something wrong with it as different issues were happening with each piece and that I felt that potentially a manager could assist me further – the only response was “you have invalidated the warranty”.

I have purchased Cuisinart products for many years because of the quality – always a bit more expensive than others, but worth it. I will no longer be doing this. I would honestly suggest not purchasing this product.

Before purchase I did weeks of research and it came down to 2 choices. I chose Swiss Diamond even tho I felt very intimidated and confused. Unlike other non-sticks, you do not suggest ‘seasoning’. As far as I understand, every pan has to be pre-heated, even if I’m going to boil water (I did a chat with you to clarify).

Then, recommendations say that after using a pan, to cool it immediately with cold water and then wash with warm. Even with just a few uses of only one pan and washing in soapy water, there is a film on the bottom like it is not clean.

Also, the bottoms are very scratched even though I am extremely careful not to slide them on the burner. I did extensive research before receiving them and went above and beyond by doing a total cleaning of my burners and buying new plastic cooking utensils.

This Swiss diamond set is fabulous. Before I bought these pans, I did not know they came with a system in the lid that lets steam out. That is a great plus. You can cook with the lids on, with the right adjusted heat under the pan, and are able to use less heat & get more effective cooking that way.

Helps keep moisture in. These pans are truly non-stick. Most ‘non-stick’ pans I bought in the past are not truly non-stock, but these are. Food comes out very easy, no sticking & super easy to clean.

A great product!.

I can’t say the pans are 100% non stick. I use them primarily for breakfast, and I’ve found that some oil is needed for frying eggs. That being said, however, I’ve used the pans for fried eggs, omelets, home fries, peppers and onions, grilled cheese sandwiches, etc.

, and I’ve never needed more than a little soapy water and a sponge or dish cloth to clean the pans. After several months of use I have never needed to scrape anything from the pans, or even to apply more than nominal pressure during cleaning.

If I didn’t have to use some oil for my eggs, I would have given the pans a 5 star rating.

So I wouldn’t advice buying this set because of the whole specific TechIQ series being superbly heavy. Even my brother who is a young well-built dude commented that it was heavy. So it’s still kinda fine when the pots/pans are small, but the reason why this set is not recommended is because of the huge stock pot and the superbly large pan.

Those are really an overkill, esp the stock pot because stock pots don’t usually require a non-stick surface. The superbly large pan is rarely used because it’s really large, like a paella sized kinda pan….

it’s like paella for 6-8 people? Wayyyy to heavy. So my advice is to buy small-mid sized pans individually.

I bought this set of pans about 3 months ago. I waited until I had used them awhile before giving a review to help other people who may be on the fence about making such an expensive purchase online.

I bought these without seeing them in the store. I am very happy with the performance of these pans. They cook very evenly, and truly are nonstick without a coating on the pan. Here are some things that I have found helpful.

First of all, I bought no-scratch utensils to use when cooking with these pans. Second, I cook everything at a slightly lower temperature than I would normally cook things with the previous cookware that I owned.

Also, I have made sure never to heat oil or butter at higher temps with these pans, and try never to burn any oil. I don’t use any nonstick sprays, and I have found myself skipping oil altogether in a lot of my cooking.

Pancake batter and eggs can go straight on a pre-heated pan and “flip over” just fine without any oil. I have used them in the oven with no problems. I don’t stack these when storing them because I don’t want to scratch them.

The bottoms are fairly heavy. Finally, I always let the pans cool and then hand wash them. I think that technically you can put them in the dishwasher, but the manual said that it wasn’t recommended.

I would not hesitate to purchase these pans again! My one complaint (and this is a minor thing to me, but still worth mentioning) is that water tends to collect on the inside of the lid after washing them.

Again, very minor, and it would not deter me from purchasing them.

I had purchased a Calphalon non-stick set in the past and it looked terrible after just 6 months of use but we kept if for a number of years until the nonstick really became an issue. When I started looking for a new set, I really liked the look of the SCANPAN set and the feel of the non-stick covering but was hesitant to make such an investment.

To give it a try, I bought the 2 frying pan set and used them for over 6 months to see how they held up. They still look brand new! My entire family really liked them so I made the decision to go ahead and order the 9-piece set, the bistro pan with insert and an additional pot.

It has been a great decision. My husband is a phenomenal cook and uses them virtually everyday. I usually wash them by hand but my family sneaks them into the dishwasher and you can’t tell. They cook well, clean easily, and look great! So far so good!.
