Amazon Basics Stainless Steel Cookware 11-Piece Set, Oven Safe, Pots and Pans, Induction-Ready, Even Heating, Easy to Clean, Heavy Duty, Silver

I bought this exact set in 2021. I am buying more. With the number of reports about the dangers of pans made with non stick coating I decided i would only use cast iron or stainless steel going forward. These are “amazon brand” but I can say after years of use and abuse they are standing the test of time. Multiple moves, toddlers, rough use and they are all fully functional and work great. I LOVE the teardrop handles. It makes it so easy to hold the handle and the hanging holes on the handles are large allowing you to hang it more places on more things you may already have set up in your kitchen. I think anyone who is looking to get away from cheap, chemically pans off the rack should look at this set!! I have 4 years of proof they are not junk but a great long lasting items that seem to be well made. Higher price than buying a $10 pan at walmart but you get so many pots and pans with lids that will last a lifetime. You can also use stainless steel to cook in the oven so more functionality than most pans and pots you buy of the rack. You will just need to learn how to cook with stainless steel pans (check YouTube lots of instruction there).

What an unbelievable value when compared to other available cookware. These pots, pans and utensils compare in quality to those selling for many times more and the metal content of 18/8 is as best as they come. All handles are solid, not pressed with dirt collecting cavities so they should provide long durable use with outstanding appearance.Please note, I did not receive free merchandise or any kind of spiff to describe my bargain find. This is truly an honest review!

Beautiful cookware that enhances whatever I am cooking!!

I’ve had this set since March 2023 and I still have all the pieces! I bought the set to tide me over while I moved to a new place, before I could afford nicer stuff.It’s a learning curve to use stainless steel pots and pans if you haven’t before. I was adjusting to that as well as having to use an electric stove for the first time and the results were not pleasant. However, this is a great starter set for someone who doesn’t want to spend a ton of money. I probably wouldn’t repurchase any of the pans, only because I still prefer cast iron. I like all of the pots though, they’ve never done me wrong!

Great quality and value!

These pans are terrible for heat transfer. They burn just about anything unless you watch them like a hawk. In my other stainless I can cook most breakfast type foods on 5 (aprx 9000 btus) or on my griddle on a 7-high (5500-8000 btus on a different burner). Because of how bad the heat transfer in these pans are, things burn on a 1-2 (aprox 2000-3500 btus, same burner as the 5). I have never used pans so terrible. Forget about heating up milk. Anything that is a liquid or sauce scorched to the side of all the pots and pans. I missed the return window and will most likely just get rid of them. The utensils are incredibly cumbersome to use as well. Pot lids all absorb a ridiculous amount of heat and cannot be removed without oven mitts or a towel. Miserable to clean as well. I got these based on a recommendation from a friend who swore by the Amazon commercial line. Have a strong feeling quality went down hill once it was Amazon basics. Will never buy Amazon basics cookware again.

I just got a new kitchen with an induction cooktop.I needed all new pots/pans.I read reviews, shopped for deals, etc.I got these pots because I thought there would be a huge learning curve for the induction and I’d ruin some pots.The learning curve didn’t happen. I have not ruined any of my stainless steel and do not plan replace these.The pots are sturdy, not too heavy and are perfect for my needs.I didn’t want to spend the $$$$ for Made In, All Clad, etc, although I did buy an additional All Clad pasta /steamer cooker that will fill the needs when I’m cooking for family/friends.Notably, I have not cooked any meat, fish, eggs (I’m a vegan) using the pots but the Amazon Basics cookware should be fine for those needs as well.I am so pleased with the feel, look, weight and performance of there pot/pans. The handles are comfortable.I don’t need a ‘brand name’ on my cookware to make fantastic meals for myself, family and friends.Buy these and save some $$$$$.

My only complaint is the soup pot will not bring water to a boil without a lid on it. I heated water for over 45 minutes without the lid on high and it never came to a boil until I put the lid on.
