T-fal Ultimate Hard Anodized Nonstick 17-Piece Cookware Set for Restaurant-Quality Results at Home

PS: I'm the principal cook in my family and my old set of cookware was finally ready for replacement. Buying a new set, to me anyway, was sort of like buying a pair of shoes- you want to actually see them "just to be sure." Shoes or pots and pans, buying sight unseen seemed like a crap shoot but after going over my choices (over and over again) I decided to pull the trigger on this set.
Without yet opening the box I knew I'd passed one hurdle. This wasn't a lightweight set of cookware. If it had been, I would have sent it back that day. Every piece has a good heft and none feel at all cheap.
I've had some time now to use almost every piece and can confidently say that I made the right choice. There is a learning curve- I had to do something that's against my nature when I buy new stuff. I had to follow the instructions. Once I got used to the heating directions I had it made.
You don't want to use medium high or high heat; as a matter of fact you'll be sorry if you do (exhibits A through D: four blackened grilled cheese sandwiches.) Heat is distributed evenly and is retained well.
Cleanup is almost too easy. Nothing sticks. And for people who care about such things,...

C. Gilbert: I got the 17 piece so I would have a pot for everything especially on the holidays. This set is nice I am really enjoying it. I was told the trick was to not over heat the pans for very long. Or at least on Youtube several people showing the care of the set claims you should never overheat them. The only thing I don't know but suspect I may end up purchasing a silicone utensil set. I refuse to purchase plastic. Right now my utensils are steel. One thing I want to point out is the deep dish fry pan. Years ago I had a cast one and someone stole it. I couldn't believe it. I am glad to have that pan back even though it is not cast iron. I still may look for one if I ever find it I will have no need for any other pieces. Except bakeware. I am really happy that I got this set instead of the 10 piece.

Vernal R.: I love this set. They're lightweight. They easily stay firm on the burner with nothing in them. I'm tired of handle heavy pots. They heat fast and evenly. I don't have to rotate my sandwiches in order to toast both halves. I cook a lot of deep-fried foods. They heat the oil very quickly and maintain temps perfectly. When cooking french fries, my old pans would cool down and not regain 350 deg until the potatoes were shriveled up. I used to leave them in until the insides were cooked, then remove them in order to build the temp up to get them browned. Not with these pans. I even have to monitor the temp, so it doesn't go over 400 deg. Even with frozen foods. I love these pans.

Jeff Y.: I got this set to replace all my older pans. I have a love hate relationship with non stick because most non stick are not non stick. These pans are well made of a thick durable metal but not so much that they weigh too much. The heat distribution is ok I still seems to have "cold" spots around the edge if your on a low heat. The non-stick seems to work well as the pans are super easy to clean. I wouldn't use any metal untensils or put them is a dishwasher just to be safe. Ive used all the pans at least once and haven't had any issues. I wish the frying pans all came with lids but the large frying pan doesn't have one. ill update the review if I come across any issues but at this time I'm glad I got this set as they work 100% better than the lat ones I had (from a different company). Solid purchase, worth the buy.

Cardione1: 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...
