Blown away by these! I've had supposed 'non-stick' cookware before that I bought for around the same price - none have held a candle to these ones! In fact, we're ready to store away our other pans to give these more space in our cookware area.
There are definitely some rules that come with it - it still suggests using a small amount of oil, and using linen or paper towel between the pans when stacking them, all of these are no problem. It states it's not recommended for the dishwasher because it's so easy to clean which - AGREED. I've used a damp paper towel as suggested to clean all times so far and it's amazing how well it's worked! I actually get kind of excited to clean it because of how easy it is - surely this will wear off but still!
Also love the design of the set - only two lids are included because they fit multiple sizes - space-saving smart idea! Also, it's a beautiful-looking set. Highly recommend! :)
My family’s been using old cookware for quite some time now and since I been out of work I haven’t had the chance to go all out for them like I wanted to, my assumption was I needed to spend hundreds on good cookware and boy was I wrong.
These are the best pots/pans we’ve had and I’ve had to show family/friends where we got them, they’re in a rush because of the good sale. I got the 10 piece granite set. I haven’t seen any scratching on it at all and it’s just a different experience cooking with them, I’m not sure how to explain it I suppose someone with more cooking experience can put into words the difference between subpar pots/pans and excellent ones lol.
But if you’re looking for the best priced set right now, I’d go with Canote every single time.
These are definitely non-stick and super easy to clean, no doubt about it. They heat up evenly and quickly which I didn't expect given how thick they are. The 9.5" frying pan dropped to the floor and landed on the handle from the top of our fridge (almost 6') and the handle broke, however, after a quick email to Carote, they actually sent us a brand new replacement for no additional charge (including free shipping) even though it was NOT due to a manufacturing defect or anything. That tells me everything I need to know about this company. Highly recommend.
While I really do love these pans and the cleanup is, seriously, a BREEZE with nothing but a sponge and a little soap, what I DON'T like about these is the scratches I am left with in my sink. I have a porcelain sink in my kitchen and the metal bottoms of these pans just SCRATCH THE SINK TERRIBLY, leaving these big scratch marks on the white porcelain! I am able to get the scratches off with putting some Clorox Soft Scrub with Bleach on them and letting it sit for awhile, then scrubbing them off, but I have to do this ALL the time to get the scratch marks out! So the pans themselves are really nice, but the scratches in my sink are not good!!! Just something to be aware of if you have porcelain sinks.
I purchased this set for myself while moving into a new apartment. The set comes with everything a basic starter set should have! The quality of the nonstick is amazing (with everything from chorizo grease to melted cheese!) Not to mention how aesthetically pleasing the pieces are. We did have one of the pots get a small scratch, and customer service had a new one out to us in under a week. I’ve only had the set for a few months, but I can definitely see myself repurchasing in the future if needed, or even buying them as a gift!
I kept putting off getting new cookware for a long time. Always had Teflon pots and pans and you know what happens - it flakes off into your food and you eat it, a little at a time. I decided no more Teflon for me so I looked into granite cookware. Very impressed. Truly, nothing sticks. Yes, there might be a little residue in the pot after cooking something sticky like melted cheese or fruit compotes, etc. But it just rinses right out. I haven't needed to use a scrubber of any sort and it's not recommended to do so anyway. I use a soft sponge and it's gone in a moment, drop of dish soap sometimes but just water has done the job, too. I got the black speckled set and it looks great! Of course they're for anyone but I do like masculine looking cookware! The faux wood handles look really good, don't get too hot and have a cool, silky smooth feeling to them. Clear lids are a must and of course the vent holes are required. I leave a few that I use most often on my stove - I actually enjoy seeing them there, they give a pleasant look. I feel all the sizes are just right for my needs. I ordered two extra of the small pots since I use that size often. Meat browns perfectly, notice less spatter but let's not be crazy - of course grease will still spatter but the depth of the pots and even heat distribution seem to lessen that. They do, in fact, heat very quickly and I find most things are done a bit sooner than with my old junk. Also very nice - I often need to have things just stay warm without overcooking and these keep everything at temperature when I reduce to just a simmer. A fast increase to medium heat gets stuff bubbling in a moment. I have not used high heat, as recommended and it's not a big deal to put a paper towel or something in between stored, stacked pots to avoid scratches. Got a nice set of silicone utensils to use, too. Wood is also OK. I want to keep this set in good condition and following the recommendations is not difficult. It's a little odd to not have to use the highest heat setting but I got used to that fast. Not only to these wash in a flash, they dry in a second, too. I appreciate even little bits of time saved - it adds up. The price is well worth it and frankly, not all that expensive. I'm glad I'm not eating Teflon anymore. I prefer to review mostly products that deserve a good write up and these fit the bill. Highly recommend!

These are great! The handles feel wonderful in your hands. The surface of the pots and pans are truly non stick and super easy to clean. Amazing range of sizes.
