OXO Good Grips Pro Tri Ply Stainless Steel Dishwasher Safe Nonstick Cookware Pots and Pans Set, 13 Piece

So far, if I could rate these 10 stars I would. This set is amazing. I purchased them because honestly, I am tired of buying non-stick cookware - it lasts a year or so and then I am buying another. Off gassing/ or worse..? Who knows. I decided that I would give up a little ease in cleaning for a healthier, more sturdy cookware. I am thinking this may be the last set I will ever buy. I read up and watched a few helpful videos on what to do, how to cook with stainless, how to clean, etc. It is a DIFFERENT way all around to use stainless. I highly recommend that you educate yourself while you're waiting for your set to arrive. I have not had a single thing stick to my pots/pans - but I follow the "rules" of stainless use carefully. One of the most important things to do is to heat your stainless BEFORE adding oil. Make certain your pan is heated to the right temp - if you spritz a few drops of water and it rolls around - you're ready. This set is heavy, sturdy. But not too heavy - I will note that if you're sensitive to weight - you may find this set too heavy. I love the glass lids. Easy to see and they go in the dishwasher easily. I do not recommend dish washering pans - its not hard to hand clean them. There are also tutorials on doing that too - very useful. I couldn't be happier with my investment in buying these pans. They are wonderful to cook with - the rolled edges allowing pouring of liquids without drips - every time. I truly can't think of a single thing that is not good about them. I would be thrilled if this was the last set of cookware I ever had to buy. I looked at way more expensive sets, and cheaper sets - I settled on this one for personal choice reasons - one being the glass lids. Having said all of that, I never hesitate to update my reviews if new info would be useful.

When I was searching for a set of stainless steel cookware I wanted durability and quality and these have everything and more. I used one of the smaller pots to boil water to get a feel for my induction burner and the water boiled in less than a minute. I cooked eggs and toast in the smaller fry pan which heated extremely even and the clean up was very easy. When I see negative reviews about clean up of these pots and pans, I'm thinking people do not read the care instructions because I don't see a problem. You don't need to use very high heat on these. The pots and pans are quite sturdy and heavy which I wanted. They are nestable and save space. They have measurement markers on them and that's a nice feature. The handles are sturdy, balanced according to the pot or pan and stay cool. Each cover is glass with a stainless steel handle. The price I paid was well worth it especially with the size of the set. I would recommend these to be used on an induction cooktop as that is what I bought them for and I'm not disappointed at all. They can be used on a regular gas or electric stove as well and are dishwasher safe.

I want to start off by saying that I was not paid for this review, and I shelled out my hard earned cash to buy this stainless steel set. I did a lot of research and comparing before deciding on this set, and every time I found another set that I would like, it would have really negative reviews or things about it I did not like. In the end, I spent a little more than I had planned, but, I couldn't be happier with the set I bought!Why I chose the OXO brand:1) The aluminum core goes all the way up the sides. A lot of the other sets I was looking at, the aluminum core was only in the bottom.2) Drip free pouring.3) Measurements in the inside of the pots.4) Glass lids!!! There were some other really nice sets, but they had stainless steel lids so you could not see what was going on!5) Pot sizes. This set comes with all the standard sizes you need, and the lids are interchangeable!6) Cool touch handles.7) Great reviews on this OXO product and most other OXO products.Like I said this was the only set that I could find that had all the "perks" I was looking for and great reviews. I always like to look at the worst reviews to see what people really think of a product, and a lot of the other brands had an abundance of good reviews, but the bad ones scared me off.I wanted to wait and use the pots before giving them my rating, and at this time, I have used almost all of them. The first thing I cooked was eggs in the small skillet and I did not have any problems with sticking. I also cooked grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken breasts, hamburger, boiled noodles, and made soup in the small sauce pan. I did not have any problems with sticking at all. Note, I was careful to follow the instructions (ie..heat up the pan first and make sure the butter is hot!).Clean up: Clean up of the set has been relatively easy. The only thing I will note, is that when I cooked the chicken in one of the skillets, there remained a white residue that I could not get out with just water and Dawn. I did not find this alarming, or surprising, as when doing my research I had read that certain water can leave stains and you may need to boil vinegar or use 'Bar Keepers Friend" for tough stains. When I purchased this set I also bought the "Bar Keepers Friend" and I used it on the stains and they came right out. Also, it is very important not to use too high of heat or you many get stains. I will also suggest being very careful with the sponge you use, as if you read the small print, most are not appropriate for stainless steel. I did find one by Scotch-Brite that is safe for these pots and pans and that has really helped.Sorry for all the details, but I know when I am purchasing a big investment like this, that I want to know everything I can. I am ecstatic about this set and this is truly a well designed, customer-make-happy set of stainless steel cookware. It is gorgeous when you pull it out of the box and a true delight to cook in. Please feel free to ask any questions.

So I do really love the pans. They cook evenly. No scorching. Easy to clean.BUT the 8 quart pot is only 8 quarts if you fill it to the absolute tippy top. Who does that?? Nobody is the answer. So really it’s more like a 6, 7 quart if you’re feeling brave size pot.Other than that I don’t have any complaints. We are a family of 3 so I think the size issue is ok for us. But if you’re a bigger family or someone who cooks big batches of stuff, I’d shop around. All clad is great but I didn’t want to spend a couple grand on pans.
