We bought these pans over a year and a half ago and they are still going strong. These things aren't babied either, they are definitely used and abused. The teflon coating has held up well and items still do not stick to the pans. They heat up quickly and seem to hold temperature well. This package contained a good variety of pots and frying pans, almost everything that you could need. The silicone handles are nice and don't require gloves to be moved around while hot. The included spatula and spoon are pretty cheap however and we have already thrown them away.
I would recommend to others. The pictures are of our pans as of today to show you how they have held up.
This set is low quality. I've only used the five quart stock pot three times, and the non-stick coating is already bubbling and peeling off. I've made soup in it a few times on an induction cook top. It has been used to simmer soup for a couple hours three times, and that's it. It has only been hand washed. Do not buy this low quality junk. I attached a picture of the stock pot peeling. I bought this set in August 2018, and it's only December 25, 2018.
My early thoughts on this set were positive. However, after 10 months of use, I am disappointed. The non-stick coating has worn off the skillet and the small saucepan. The coating is now wearing off the egg skillet as well. I did a great deal of homework before settling on this set. Unfortunately, it did not hold up to normal wear.
Have been using this set ever since we bought it over the holidays. I just recently started cooking and this set has proven to be very helpful in making the whole 'learn to cook' process more delightful. I've used every single one of the items in the set and it has all been a bliss! Clean up is very easy because everything just literally comes off the surface if you just wipe it off with tissue (I wipe off all the grease with tissue before I wash them).
Perhaps my only issue (hence 4 stars) with this is that the lids/covers has a gap (check photo for reference) between the glass and the metal wherein food particles and oil get stuck and makes cleaning troublesome (cleaning the pots and pans in the set is a breeze but the lids/covers takes some work).. but other than that, I love this purchase!
I bought this because the set was fairly well reviewed and it was labled as “Amazon Choice”. I had never been disspointed in an Amazon Choice product until now. The small fry pan is useless. It is so small, I cannot imagine using it for anything. I am convinced it was only included in this set to offset the scale of the other pots and pans in marketing pictures. All are much smaller than represented.
I was pretty satisfied at first, the set looked good. However, by November 2018, the bottom of the frying pan is totally unrecognizable! Impossible to clean, I tried putting it in my Bosch dishwasher- no results, I tried cleaning it by hand, using non abrasive products of ALL kinds- no results! This set is of such poor quality that I am just going to throw it away-something I never do! Only the saucepans are decent.
Mind you, what can you expect from a set of 12 pieces for 70 bucks?
I like Tfal products and I got this set specifically for a non-stick and dishwasher safe cookware. Well, I've only used it a couple of times so far and it is definitely NOT non-stick. Unfortunately I waited to long and missed my return window. I like these pots/pans and a set and still use them, but I really wish they were non-stick. I am now looking for an actually non-stick set and will probably donate these.
Very dissatisfied with my purchase. I have had this set for less than 6 months, I have never used any metal or pointy things. I have always taken care of it. Always. The bottom non-stick material has chipped off in many many places! I’m so shocked and surprised by such quality coming from no other than T-Fal!!! I don’t recommend it at all.
Contact me if you have any solution, because for now, very dissatisfied.
I bought these about 2.5 years ago, and the frying pan, the item I use the most, is just starting to go - i.e. the nonstick surface is looking scruffy (and no, I don't use metal utensils on it nor do I I scrub it). I put it through the dishwasher, which is supposed to be fine, and use it quite a bit. The other items are still good. My induction stovetop is fine with all the pieces except the teensy tiny egg pan, which is too small and the hobs don't recognize it. Probably wouldn't have used that one anyway. Pretty good value for the price I paid, and 2.5 years is about what I'd expect for a non-stick surface, unfortunately for the environment! I will say, though, that it's annoying they didn't make the biggest pot lid fit on the bigger frying pan - it's only about 1/2 an inch off. Otherwise it's a good solid set.
What I received are great products, but be aware that there are no reasonable- sized pans. They are extremely small and none could be useful for a family dinner. The pot size ranges are good.
