AVACRAFT 18/10 Stainless Steel Cookware Set, Premium Pots and Pans Set, Kitchen Essentials for cooking, Multi-Ply Body Stainless Steel Pan Set, 10-Piece Sets

I bought this set to replace my old non-stick pots and pans, and I was skeptical at first because I thought you had to invest thousands of dollars into a stainless steel cooking set for it it be a good one. However, these are fantastic! The quality is amazing and they feel, look, and function like a set worth thousands of dollars. They take cleaning and maintenance just like any stainless steel product, but once you get the routine down you’ll never go back to non-stick. I’ve had this set since December 2023, and I’ve used each piece in the set consistently-the 8” pan almost every single day-and the quality is still top notch. I’ve cooked, boiled, seared, sautéed, and burnt food in these pans and after a wash they are still good as new! I highly recommend this set!

My wife says: Love the comfortable cool touch handles, light weight, pour spouts, and strainer lids, all of which make this set an excellent kitchen workhorse. I just got rid of a set of All Clad that scratches when even you use nylon utensils, these are SOOO much better!!!For those who are complaining that these pots are not stainless and are ruined from staining, that’s nonsense. Staining is very common when you have pans that have excellent heat distribution and retention, stainless discolors when it gets super hot. All the pictures shown here with discoloration are completely normal. Oil burns and browns, excessive heat causes rainbow stains, and salt causes pitting and white spots... all completely normal, doesn’t affect the performance, and is easy to remedy. Just use BARKEEPERS FRIEND and a SCOTCH BRIGHT scrubber pad, they’ll look new with very little effort. I usually just wash normally, and use barkeepers as needed once a week or so.Additionally, you need to pre-heat a stainless pan well in order for it to be non-stick, you'll then only need a small amount of oil or butter, and the pan will be completely non stick and clean up easily. It should be hot enough so a few drops of water dropped in the heated pan rolls around in the pan without breaking or evaporating. If you have a surface temp thermometer, you're looking for a temp just over 200°F. Once your pan is up to temp, add a small amount of oil or butter, reduce the temp if desired, and add your food. Easy, and so much healthier!These are designed in Texas by a Woman Owned Small Business, and made in China. Lots of great products are made in China, you just have to make sure you buy from an American Company who has authority over the materials and manufacturing process. I couldn’t be happier with the product and service I received.

I'm not a regular cook and I've never used stainless steel cookware before, so take my review with a grain of salt. And speaking of salt, I even made a rookie mistake when first using the small pot - I put big chunks of sea salt in boiling water, which resulted in some pits at the bottom. :(I also tried using the big pan to fry some banana slices, waiting for the Leidenfrost Effect and everything, but ended up having them all stick nonetheless. (Probably because you can't fry bananas?) This resulted in some brown stains which I haven't bothered to try and get rid of. I figure I'm going to be making lots of small mistakes like this often, so I'll just roll with the consequences.Other than these two things, this set of cookware is amazing! Every piece is super sturdy and thick. It takes a bit to heat up but once hot, boy does it stay hot! I especially love that there are measurements on the inside of the pots, and the lids for them have strainers built in. It's come in handy so many times already when cooking pasta and such.They can be kind of heavy (especially for someone who's used to cheap $10 Teflon pots and pans), but I think that just speaks to the quality more than anything else. Overall, I think the value and quality of this cookware set is pretty unmatched from the online research I did.My one small complaint is about the lifetime warranty that this set comes with - I followed the instructions and entered my name, email, and Amazon order number on their website, however I haven't gotten any kind of confirmation that my warranty is active. It would be nice if someone from their Customer Support could reach out and let me know.

Great everyday set of pots and pans! Clean up well with soap and water or Barkeepers Friend for tough areas if needed.Also, EXCELLENT customer service! Had an issue with one of the saute pans. Quick response to my email and received a new pan in less than 2 weeks.

I am very pleased with my purchase. I was told to buy stainless steel pots as they are longer lasting. Cleaning is easy so far, except I made French toast and the stain from that was harder to get out. Soaking in water and vinegar for a couple hours and some scrubbing worked.
