 Non Stick and Great for Everyday Oct 12, 2005
By SoCalAvAZ
"SoCalAvAZ"
I got these as part of our wedding registry here on Amazon and with about 2 months of use I am very happy with this set. More so than any other set of pots/pans that I own.
Here are some pro's:
1 - The non-stick is truly non-stick and so easy to use. The fact that the outside is non-stick also makes cleaning up easy.
2 - The handle really does stay cool, even near the edge on gas burners
3 - The size of all 9 pieces are very convenient
4 - Easy to wash due to non-stick and dishwasher safe
5 - Thermospots assists in cooking evenly
6 - Oven safe
Great price and value.

Unbeatable for price and quality Jul 07, 2009
By L. Thompson
"expensive isn't always better"
T-Fal's nonstick cookware is the best for the price. You can pay a lot more for nonstick pans: they'll be heavy and the nonstick feature is the same. If you're thinking that buying more expensive nonstick pans will make the nonstick finish last longer, you'd be wrong. That's what I thought. I have several expensive nonstick pans and the nonstick will peel off of those just as quickly as any other nonstick pan. What really makes the difference with nonstick is HOW YOU TREAT IT. Read the Do's And Don'ts when you get your pans. Never heat above medium. It'll take longer to bring water to a boil or to stir-fry, but it WILL get hot enough. Never wash your nonstick in the dishwasher and wait until it cools to hand wash. Always use plastic or wood utensils: never use anything that will scratch the surface. Don't use spray release cooking agents as you don't need them and they can cause a film to develop on the surface. Never let your pots boil dry - use a timer to remind you.
Thinking of stainless steel? Forget it. It's a headache to cook and clean with as everything sticks to it's surface - unless you want to add a lot of fat to your cooking. Leave that for the professional cooks and save yourself the headaches.
I can still remember my Grandmother showing me a T-Fal pan that she bought and saying it was the best pan she ever owned. I just bought this set for my son who is moving into his own home and that's the confidence that I have in it. This is the quality and price point you're looking for.
P.S. When I first opened the set, I thought there was something wrong with it: there are little holes in the lids with no cover or vent. That's how it's supposed to be! Those tiny holes let a little steam out so that your pots won't boil over as easily. But, if you turn it up high enough and ignore it, it can still boil over. If it does, at least the outsides of these pans are constructed to withstand food stains. You'll love this set. If you treat it right, it'll last many years.
P.P.S. For a large family, I would buy some additional pieces: a large frying pan with high sides and a lid - for large meals, frying chicken and stir-frying and a 3.5 qt saucepan for making large amts of rice, popcorn, chili, etc. I also bought a splatter cover for the large frying pan in the set because it is a regular fry pan with low sides and you'll get some splatter on your stove if you don't use a cover.
P.P.P.S. IMHO, the vegetable steamer that is included with this set is worthless. There's nothing wrong with it, but I haven't cooked veggies this way since 1980 and I wouldn't put the steel feet in my nonstick cookware. I would just use a microwavable bowl and the microwave to steam vegetables.

Great set of cookware Nov 18, 2002
This cookware is a great value. They are certainly non-stick, even egg and burned breadcrumbs come off easily. The non-stick surface is also durable and has not become scratched in the year and a half I've owned them.

Review by college student Dec 01, 2005
By R. X. Kwok
"Aaagogo"
I'm a trained sous chef who cooks alot at home when i'm not working or studying.
Cheap for Tefal's nonstick set with Thermal hotspot.
just one word, follow the care instructions that came in the box.
Use only wooden/plastic cookware to do your cooking
wash immediately after use with dish cloth and soap.
try to minimise putting it in the dishwasher and it will last u a long long long time.

The coating is great,nothing sticks.They look sharp and perform very well.The lids are great because you can open them if needed or just leave them closed.They are so easy to clean.We are very pleased with them.
