was a christmas gift. most amazing set i’ve ever used or owned. people don’t understand that with stainless steel you have to cook at a lower temp. rainbow effect is a given when cooking and all you need is some vinegar and some dawn power wash and bam. just like new! most amazing set. absolutely love.
I needed to replace the Reverware set I had been using for 45 years. The set is still functional, but over time it wasn't flat enough for our new cooktop. Looking at many reviews of cookware, tramontina was the brand that had the highest ratings. This set met my needs. I was impressed with quick shipping and the pans which were well packed. The set is just beautiful. I love cooking with them If you have always used non-stick cookware, there are some things you need to know. First, there is no non-stick that is healthy. Sorry about it, but that non-stick chemical leaches into your food. So this stainless is much healthier. Also, the non-stick coating gradually peals off and you have to throw out the pan. Not the case with this set. Second, food can stick. But you can minimize this, and if you soak your pot it will clean up. Third, I have seen complaints that the inside colors. That is just the nature of the material and does not affect its potential. There are not many things you buy that will last for 40 years, but I have no doubt that this set will.
I bought these pans almost 17 years ago. They are awesome, cook great everytime AND I wouldn't use any other type of pan. Any problems with cooking or cleaning is an user issue and not the pans.
Have used my 12 PC set for dinner, canning, and making candy. Works perfectly, non sticking, holds heat as needed, and cleans up beautifully. And sauce pans are a bit narrower and taller than my old pans, which improves heat retention.
Only wish the lids from the pots fit the frying pans. One larger saucepan, and a steamer basket would make it a perfect set.
