Was gifted this set in 2021. Ended up being the absolute best cookware I've ever used. Quality made and sturdy. Cleans up very well. I mostly hand wash but the occasional run through the dishwasher doesn't seem to affect the finish. I do oil and season each item before used and very rarely cook on extreme high temps. As far as value, I've spent this much on single items from other 'high quality' brands and not been anywhere near a happy.
I needed new cookware when I got an induction stovetop. After much searching, I decided on these. I definitely do not regret my decision.
They are a nice weight. The handles are amazing. They feel so solid, they do not get hot when on the stove (I read some complaints about that from other sets), and they are extremely comfortable to hold. The pieces are easy to clean for a stainless steel set. If something does stick or if they become discolored, a little bar keeper's friend cleans them right up.
The pieces in this set are extremely functional, and it contains almost everything I need to cook. I had to separately purchase an inexpensive steamer and square griddle for pancakes, but that's it. The pots are a great size and shape. I even prefer them to my former pots, which I loved. The 6-quart deep sauté pan is wonderful. Most of the other sets I looked into had a 3/4 quart sauté pan (sometimes called "Dutch oven" or "casserole") that seemed pretty useless. It left me wondering what I would use it for and what I would use to cook large family meals since there was nothing larger in other sets. This 6-quart deep sauté pan is exactly what I wanted. It replaces the one I had to get rid of and is the piece I use the most frequently. So glad Tramontina had the insight to make this piece larger and functional. I wish the frying pans had a larger surface area and less rim, but that's my only "complaint."
This set is very well built and works on my induction cooktop. My only niggle is that the lid for the stock pot does not fit on the fry pan. I'm very happy with the cookware.
I am very pleased with the Tri-Ply Clad. When I ordered the pans, my only concern was the pan handles. How could they not become too hot to handle? I even planned on buying sleeves to fit on them. I have been pleasantly surprised that the handles work well as they are. The pans conduct heat well on my new induction stove and they wash up well. I am very pleased.
I wanted to fall in love with this cookware set but I’m still adjusting. I got rid of my non-stick set because I did my research and they were toxic so I switched to stainless steel but now everything sticks to this set. I’ve watched videos and do the water drop test every time I cook but eggs and other foods still stick.
