Tramontina 18 Piece Nonstick Cookware Set - Red - Aluminum Construction, Dishwasher Safe, Compatible with Gas, Electric, Ceramic Cooktops - Includes Sauté Pans, Griddle, Dutch Oven, Cooking Utensils

I am not paid for my review, I'm actually a nobody,just an everyday housewife in West Virginia cooking for my family daily and hoping to save others some money! I've read reviews on literally 50 different cookware sets.. It's a hard decision when you only want to spend no more than $200 on a set & hopefully last 5 yrs. Pretty much every set I've looked at & read reviews etc have positives & negatives, even on the more expensive sets people still found faults and or they literally shared pics of warped,broken products at that price. With the yr 2020 being the way it has,any extra $ we can save will surely help see us through the rest of this year for emergencies but we really badly needed a new cookware set as I've not bought one in 8 yrs & had to get rid of several pans,skillets etc. I no longer have all 5 children at home,only one is left at home but I'm accustomed after nearly 25 yrs of cooking meals daily for a large family and though it's only 3 of us now we still very seldom eat out/order out. So deciding on a set that will last a few yrs with the use I put on them has been nerve racking & after 3 months of indecisiveness and lack of good saucapans I looked again 2 wks ago,told myself no matter what I had to place an order so I had my set before our youngest 13th Birthday "party" on 10/18/2020. I seen this very cheap 18 pc set, I only clicked on it out of curiosity, for $38.00 US dollars you'd assume this set would be total junk. It actually had decent reviews and I threw caution to the wind because any new set was going to better than what I've been working/cooking with.. I've been using this set 2 wks now and I'm so far very pleased & surprised on how well they are doing & how easy they have neen to clean. I especially LOVE the 11' griddle!! I've made everything from pancakes,eggs,hamburgers, steakums, pork chops on it and it's so nice!!! It wipes off very easily as well as the other pans,heck sometimes you could skip an offical wash & use a paper towel in between using for example pancakes/french toast. I've not tried the steamer basket yet but you can adjustment it on the size by several sizes. The plastic utensils have been nice & make sure to use them or other plastic or wooden utensils as not to scratch the non stick coating. I hand wash my dishes so I'm not sure as how they hold up to a dish washer. The lids fit snug and have a thick black heat resistant nob for handling. I hope to save other hard working families money on something that you need to provide for your family and not necessarily want considering the hardship Corona virus has put on everyone. Even if this cookware set doesn't last my 5 yr plan, it'll be well worth it even if for a year if I'm able to cook well & wash easily. I will update my review as needed to address durability & the durability of the non stick coating. * In some of the pictures I added I made a simple but messy sticky rice dish(boiled rice,cream of chicken,butter,S&P)***UPDATE 3 mnths LATER*** : These pots,skillets,griddle & lids have held up FANTASTIC,NONE of the non stick has peeled off etc.(I hand wash only) IF YOU USE PLASTIC OR WOODEN utensils you shouldn't scratch up the non stick surfaces. Considering I use some of them everyday,a few times a day..I cook daily so I'm very pleased as how well they cook,clean up and have held up these 3 months. You just can't beat this set for the price!! Still Happy.

I've never written a review before, but I'd be remiss if I didn't tell y'all that this is the single greatest set of pots and pans EVER. I was hit by a drunk driver, and suffer short-term memory problems, so there are times I forget that I left something on the stove when my dog has to go outside to the bathroom...as a result, I've burned more than a few things. But this set amazed me the first time it happened by how absolutely easy it was to clean! Tonight, I wish I'd thought to take a photo of it because I burned a pot of soup I was making so badly that there was a ½" of burned chicken on the bottom. I thought "I either finally killed this pan, or I've GOT to write a review about how easy it is to clean!" Luckily, it was the latter...so I had to write a review. In less than 5 minutes, it was as clean as new and back in the cupboard!And I didn't even have to scrub hard. I've had sets of non-stick pots and pans in every possible design, from highly overpriced ceramic to cheap Teflon...NOTHING is as easy to clean as these! And the price? Come on - the price is incredible for such a great set! Do yourself a favor and buy this immediately! I loved it so much, I bought a 2nd set JUST in case something happens...but in three years, I haven't had a single problem, even with my forgetful nature of leaving food cooking and forgetting it's still on the stove. (((it's so bad, my 9-year-old granddaughter told me I should get a "Smart Smoke Detector" so I could set it for real fires and NOT just for my habit of burning what I'm cooking))) She made a joke, but she wasn't wrong. hahaha My daughter just moved out to move in with her fiance, and she hated his pans, so she asked me to get her a set for Christmas...I'd already bought her all of her gifts, so I just gave her my backup set. When her fiance saw them, he asked "What's wrong with my pans?", so she told him "Burn something, then wash it, and you'll see." He's a funny guy, so he did - and he was dumbfounded by how easy these are to clean, even after deliberately burning something. If you've never listened to a review before, trust me - listen to this one. And Amazon, PLEASE don't EVER stop selling these! They are an affordable Godsend...literally the greatest set of pots and pans on the face of God's green Earth.

I bought these pans about 2 months ago. I was a bit uneasy about buying them because the reviews were mixed, but I bought them anyway because I wanted something economical. My daughter is very hard on my pans and when I buy good ones and they get destroyed, it really upsets me, so I wanted something that wouldn't upset me if they got damaged. I have to say that these are really GOOD pans. The type of non-stick surface is difficult to damage, easy to clean, and I can see these lasting a lot longer than the ones I paid a lot more money to buy. They are also used a lot. I would guess that two months of use in my kitchen would be closer to six months of use in someone else's kitchen. The downside is that for most families, you would need another couple of pans to round out your supply because none of these are particularly large. So, you would need a large skillet and a large stockpot, in addition to these pans, but otherwise they fit the bill for everything else. If you are a single person or a couple that doesn't entertain this set would likely be more than enough.Edit to add: It is now more than a year later and I am still very happy with these pans and they are still in basically original condition despite how much I use them. I did notice however that now they are quite a bit more expensive than what I paid for them (although I would still say that they are a good deal) however they are also no longer Amazon Prime, so I have no idea what shipping would do to the overall cost.

Good pot set

Love my pots look good very stackable, functional

Great for moving into your new place on a low budget.
