Just got them. Will report back.
5 Stars
Just got them. Will report back.
I was wondering whether I should get the 8” and 10” set or 10”-12” set. I decided on the larger pans because I could pickup a single 8” frying pan, use and abuse it and then replace it, without having to match the set. The pans on the bottom are smaller than the actual size, aling with a built in range it’s hard to fit both tge 10” and twelve front back. If you use the 10” and 12” in unison then you will probably loose a burner. Then again an air fryer in the kitchen performs double duty.I had a set of 8”,10”,12” 2022 Henckels non stick from Costco I just returned, because they were junky garbage. I also own a full set of All Clads, but they are not non stick and unless you’re seriously cooking, not heating up food, making scrambled eggs or oatmeal they are over kill.The only negative I can think of for now are two things, they probably won’t last 5 year with continued use and there are no lids. Then again for $34 it’s hard to complain if the heat is even and I can cook scrambled eggs, French Toast or an omelette.

I bought 2 of these pans in different sizes. They are a nice weight - not too heavy, nor are they light junk. They warm quickly and evenly. Nothing has stuck to these. Both me and my wife cook but she is better than me. She loves these pans - best ones she's ever had she said.

The handle are nice, with a rubber silicone type grip.

Cleanup is a snap.

Great pans without breaking the bank.

Size: 17-PieceVerified Purchase
Gotta hand it to T-Fal for making an absolutely marvelous cookware set that easily rivals other nonstick sets in the $400-500 range. This is a very attractive cookware set, and functions flawlessly. Non-stick MEANS non-stick, and cleanup is a breeze. The weight and thickness of the cookware is excellent, they truly feel durable and sturdy in every way. I discovered this line from T-Fal about 7 years ago and I honestly would rather buy their sets than Wolfgang Puck, Martha Stewart, or whatever fad brand of nonstick comes along next season.

NOTE: these pans will tolerate softer wood utensils like Bamboo, but you should always use silicone or plastic when possible. Metal utensils will chip and scratch, same as any nonstick. Even so, this set is VERY scratch resistant and will last for many years with proper care.

5.0 out of 5 stars Initial Impression
Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2019
Size: 17-PieceVerified Purchase
I'm doing an initial review of this cookware set. As it's being used, my intention is to come back to this review with updates.

I ordered this set after doing a bit of 'googling' on what is the best cookware set for 2019 - I wanted something for our gas range. I think it's something to take into consideration when choosing what you're going to buy. An example - on a gas range - if the setting is high and your cookware has some sort of enamel-like finish, and the flames are coming over the sides of the pot/pan - it's going to discolor the finish after a period of time.

I looked at the top 10 bracket, the top 5 bracket, I went to reviews, Good Housekeeping, Consumer Reports, just to name two of several, and surprisingly (at least for me) T-Fal was a set that kept popping up as one of the best. I've always thought of T-Fal as one of those starter cookware sets that someone might purchase when they're moving into their first apartment and starting out on their own - it is/was inexpensive - a set for a person learning to cook and therefore not requiring something more 'higher-end.' If you have/had those thoughts as well, you might want to set them aside, at least with this set..

Upon pulling everything out of the box my first impression was they look really nice. The set is light weight - the handles are riveted, silicone encased and can withstand up to 400 degree oven temperature. The lids are heavy tempered glass, each one having a small vent hole, and the handles are also silicone encased as well. The design of the lid-handles seems to take into account the use of pot holders since there's substantial space between the glass and the handle itself. All of the lids in my set fit nicely onto their respective pot/pan - no warpage or bent rims. The pots/pans are dishwasher safe (mine aren't going to see the inside of a dishwasher), and this particular set you can use metal utensils (I personally ain't-a-gonna do it). It comes with a steamer that is designed to stack on top of the large pot (not the dutch oven). When you're done steaming, grab some pot holders and lift the insert out by it's handles - no muss, no fuss. It's a much better option than the collapsible steamer I currently using.

It comes with instructions on how to care for your cookware. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! Why you may ask? This set is replacing a Calphalon set, and yes Calphalon was/is rated highly as well. But why replace it? Because being the knuckle head that I am, I didn't read the instructions. I knew Calphalon had to be hand washed (at least the set that I own) - but what I didn't know was what high heat does to the pots. When you read the instructions for T-Fal, and because it's aluminum, it'll say something to the effect of using low to medium heat (because aluminum conducts heat really well). See … I didn't know that about anodized aluminum and what I ended up doing was burning the finish off of each pot and skillet bottom of my Calphalon set - right down to the bare aluminum and of course this affected the non-stick surface on the inside. So please, read and follow the instructions. One other thing before I wrap this up. When I was doing my 'research' I came across this one video of an owner showing how an empty T-Fal pot didn't sit level on her stove. Seems the handle was heavy enough that it caused the pot to tip. She said this was a problem - and I guess it could be if you're in the process of putting something inside the pot in preparation of cooking. I do get that - but I placed an empty pot on the stove, centered over the burner, and it sat just fine - although I'll say my stove grate is different than the stove in the video - it also sat level on the counter top. Perhaps this might be something to take into consideration???

So initial impression is the set seems to be of good quality, looks nice, and I'm looking forward to putting this set through it's paces.

UPDATE:
As of December 4, 2019 I have to say that the T-Fal set has held up extremely well - cooking with this set is a breeze. I keep the burner setting usually at med-high if I want to bring something to a boil - and it doesn't take long for that to happen. The pots and pans conduct heat really well and there's practically no sticking. Usually I can pretty-much rinse off any food residue left behind using just running hot water. I'm pretty good at using either wooden or silicon-type utensils when cooking, though on occasion I've used metal spoons to stir, and there are no marks inside any of the pots/pans. I'm not one of those cooks adept enough to shift a pan around and flip the contents briefly into the air (my cool-factor is not that high) so "skating" the bottom of a pot/pan over the cast-iron grate has not taken place, so I can't say what would happen to this set if I were to do so. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that more than likely there would be some marring of the bottom since cast iron probably trumps aluminum. Overall I'm very please with this purchase and the performance of this cook set.

Reviewed in the United States on December 29, 2018
Size: 14-PieceVerified Purchase
We all have some of these: chipped, scratched pots and pans that wobble on a range because of being WARPED. I've had enough with my pans and began research on cookeware sets. I will note here that my current cookware is the high end non-stick, with my fry pans being those bought after watching some fool on TV melt candy in a wrapper in the pan and then wiping it clean. (These pans by the way are only 8 months old and are already WARPED). For new cookware, my ONE main requirement was that they were or would be NON-WARPING. The second requirement was that they be non-stick. After some research I settled on the 14 piece of T-Fal non-stick / non-warp set. Item came well packaged and unpacking the items I was impressed with the feel of each piece: not too heavy or light even with a lid. I also noted the non-stick interior surface and the very nice looking anodized exterior. Very nice touch with the vented lids (an actual hole in the glass) and the FULL insulation of the handles. Now I mention this insulation because I have (had) cookware items that had decorative (?) metal ends on the handles that would occasionally get very warm while being used.( Nothing like grabbing a pot or pan handle that want to cook your hand medium rare.) I washed each piece and WITHOUT SEASONING, took the largest frying pan, placed it on the range on MED HEAT (about 5-6 on an electric glass top range) and let it heat up. After 2-3 minutes, I noted that the T-FAL center emblem in the pan really didn't look like it changed much. I expected it to go from the T-FAL logo to a full red dot. Didn't happen but it was no biggie as in the past several months I began preheating my fry pans for about 3 minutes due to their warped exterior. Next I added magarine as I was going to cook sunnyside up eggs. I was impressed to note that the margarine melted quickly AND when spread about the pan, little bubbles began to show up over the ENTIRE pan surface. This meant that the pan was heating up evenly. In went the eggs and after placing a lid on the pan I turned away to get something off the counter. Now, with my older warped fry pans I could do this same act, return to the range and begin to slowly rotate the pan to get even heating on the eggs. Not so with this T-Fal fry pan. I noted the whites turning opaque quickly and the yolks getting their whitish color meaning they would be just slightly runny. In short, these eggs came out perfect and in well over 1/2 the time from my old cookware. Even my other half was impressed. Now my next "adventures in cooking" will involve sautéing, making my alfredo sauce, grilling (this set came with a VERY NICE grill pan!) and frying. So far I am following the instructions by keeping the range heat at MED or just a bit more. Noted is that one foray into frying eggs does not provide enough experience with this cookware to turn cartwheels in the kitchen. But so far, with eggs being one of my more difficult items to make because of my other warped pans with uneven heat, this T-Fal pan is impressive. So, my rating of 4 is tentative as I will update this review within a short time after I try other pieces of this set.

UPDATE:
First this disclaimer: I HAVE NOT and AM NOT an employee of T-Fal or Amazon, and I have NOT been hired to write a raving review. That said, now for the update. I have had this set now for over a month and have used all but one of the pans. The total experience has been incredible. I cook out of self-defense (the other half is banned by the EPA from boiling water) and am pretty fast in the kitchen when I am cooking.
- WEIGHT OF PANS: I thought the pans were a bit on the light side until I started using them. Whether it was thought of during design or not, the pans are heavy enough to withstand various cooking requirements but light enough where you don't break your wrist when lifting.
- NON STICK SURFACE: Come on now! Who in their right mind melts plastic spoons or uses an electric beater on their non-stick cookware! I believe surface of this T-Fal would take this abuse with no problem, but I happen to like my food without the taste of plastic. I've used nearly all the pans and found them all to be amazingly non-stick as well as sturdy. I still use butter/olive oil when sautéing or frying. I have had nothing stick to the pans nor have any of these pans lost any of their non-stick capability.
- HEATING: This is the BEST part of this cookware. If you cook/have cooked with slightly warped cookware, you know the problem with hot heat spots or very little heat at all. Thus, you have to move the pan around a bit to get yours items cooked. Each of the pans in this T-Fal set has VERY even heat distribution. There is a "plate" on the bottom of the pans that distributes the heat evenly. I have found that because of this, I've noted shorter cooking times on various items AND I now cook on a lower heat settings NOTE: This T-Fal cookware set will cause you to change how your cook and for how long. The even heat distribution is stunning. ALSO, I do preheat my pans (except for boiling water) and use only wooden or high heat tolerant silicone utensils..
- STORAGE OF THE COOKWARE: I don't stack this cookware. Instead I hang it up. This simply helps prolong the life of my investment.
Overall, I am very impressed with this cookware. Even my other half (known for making ANGRY little pellets called hamburgers), has begun to learn that this cookware can even make her a decent cook. And yes, I bit on the late night adverts showing the frying pans melting plastic spoons and candy in wrappers and magically not sticking. I bought 3. Within 90 days they either lost their non-stick capability, began to warp, or both.
Some people are gourmet cooks; others have trouble boiling water. This cookware will holdup very well and serve both very well. My motto is that you get what you pay for. And you WILL get more than you've paid for this set. I raise my rating to 5 stars and I do recommend as a BUY.

Llego antes de lo esperado, se ven de buena calidad y muy fuertes, me gusta la variación de tamaños que trae, se lavan fácilmente... Las tapas lucen algo frágiles así que las estoy tratando con extra cuidado.

I bought an identical 12" frying pan that I liked so much that I punched two of the same but smaller.
Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous T-Fal set to replace my older non-stick set
Reviewed in Canada on May 18, 2023
Size: 14-PieceVerified Purchase
It was time to replace my existing T-fal set I've had for over 3 years and I'm so glad I did! This 14-piece set has all the cookware I need at a great price on Amazon. It's so much better than my previous set which in comparison feels overly light and flimsy. Can definitely see and feel the improved quality with the slightly heavier weight, improved handle connection and the Thermo-spot technology design interior. For non-stick, I'm always looking for a set that is PFOA, lead, and cadmium free, and this set has all 3 safety assurances.

The glass lids and silicone handles look great and there's the added bonus of being able to use my previous non-glass lids in a pinch if I needed to, which hasn't been the case, but they fit perfectly. The silicone handles do get a bit hot when cooking over the stove top for a long time, but isn't a deal breaker by any means. Taking extra good care of this set for longevity. Will update post in a few years to see how they keep up with daily use. So far, excellent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Son buenos sartenes
Reviewed in Mexico on March 30, 2023
Size: 2-PieceVerified Purchase
Los compramos en una oferta, resultaron duraderos, el material es bastante resistente y se limpian muy fácilmente, hay dos opciones de tamaño. Pesan poco mas que los sartenes tfal que encuentras en tiendas físicas pero vale la pena pues duran mucho y la comida no se pega a pesar de que los usamos bastante.

Nosotros los usamos una vez al día toda la semana para comida de una familia.
