Tefal L9569032, Ingenio, Jamie Oliver, Stainless Steel, Cookware Set, Pans

Far better than I imagined

I bought these so that I can make frittatas that need to be finished under the grill, and my new oven can only be used with the door closed, even when using the grill function. The detachable handle is a clever solution and works very well. As a bonus, the pans also nest nicely and take up little space in the pan drawer.

A tiny kitchen must have! Love having these around especially that it doesn’t take up much storage space as regular pans would. Still adjusting with the detachable handle but my partner (who says he doesn’t cook) finds it more enjoyable. The only caveat would be I wished they included another lid for the midsized pan. Other than that, I give it 5 stars.

Very well received and immediately used.

Great quality, easy to clean, ideal for use in caravan where space saving is key

The media could not be loaded. I already own a set of Tefal’s Ingenio range of stainless steel pans, I’ve had them for over three years and they are used daily, so I knew these Tefal Ingenio Jamie Oliver beautifully designed pan set would be excellent. I have Tefal titanium non stick frying pans too that have withstood my family cooking with them. This set comes with a 28cm titanium non stick frying pan, a 24cm titanium non stick sauté pan (great for stir fry’s and curries with its deeper sides), a 20cm (2.6L) saucepan with 20cm glass lid and the star of the show, Tefal’s Ingenio removable handle. Now if you’re unfamiliar with removable handles you’re probably thinking, ‘shouldn’t there be 3 handles in the set?’ Well I thought that with my Tefal Ingenio saucepan set when I first saw them on Amazon, but, trust me you do only need one. The handle is designed to come off the pan when the pans are hot, leaving the handle on could cause it to become brittle if it’s near heat for any length of time. I find it much easier to put the pans on the hob more evenly without worrying about the handles sticking out and knocking them (or a small child grabbing one). This amazing design does make cooking safer on the hob and gives the pans more space. Clipping it onto the pan is easy, just press the side buttons to open the handle, put the open metal part over the side of the pan and attach securely by pressing the lever upwards on the handle, please see my video, though I attached the handle using one hand (the other was holding my camera) but you can see it is very easy to do.The frying pan and sauté pan are both titanium non stick with Tefal’s clever Thermo-Spot design in the centre. This shows you the optimal temperature for cooking when the lines around the outside of the Thermo-Spot disappear, it’s ready to start cooking your food. I find this very useful for cooking meat in the pan so the meat is cooked quickly and stays juicy.The saucepan is a decent family size pan, all stainless steel with a handy litre/quart gauge inside the pan, I would have liked to have seen pints instead of quarts if I had to say anything negative, but it’s a small detail.The other great design with handle-less pans is space saving in the drawer or cupboard as they stack within each other so well (please see my photo) even the lid is designed to lay flat for easy storage, even in the smallest of spaces. They are all dishwasher safe, aside from the handle which must not put in the dishwasher or it will jam the mechanism, I find a quick rinse under the tap gets mine clean.They can be used with all hobs including induction, the thick stainless steel base is perfect for even heat distribution and longevity. The pans are oven safe too, (when using the lid, up to 175 C (350 F)), you can even bake a cake in them in the oven, just don’t use anything metal when getting the cake out of the titanium non stick pans. They come with an impressive 10 year guarantee and that includes the handle.I genuinely recommend this Jamie Oliver designed Ingenio pan set, they are well made, a great space saving idea in the drawer, cupboard and dishwasher and they look beautiful in shiny stainless steel on the outside with a classy brushed stainless steel design around them. They are designed to last, if treated with care and will look like new years to come.

I`ve had Ingenio items for a long time, and the convenience of cookware that can be moved from hob to oven with the great bonus of removeable handles is not to be sniffed at. However, with an induction hob, I get error messages with my old set. They have their uses but, alas not on that. So a new set to slowly replenish the old is a good idea, and these are far more beautiful, as I`m a sucker for new stainless steel. There is nothing to dislike about them!

Bought these to top up a previous set of Ingenio Pans we'd bought. They are really great pans that stack and store easily saving space in the pan drawer. (Only downside on the old ones was Teflon coated frying pans didn't last as long as we'd hoped, even though we only use non metal utensils on them and one of the removable handles on the old set had to be replaced under warranty too as it stopped gripping/releasing from the pan, so hopefully these will fare better). Other than that, both these ones and our old ones cook great on induction hob and they clean up really well, very happy with them!Bought ours in a sale as a set, as it was much better value than buying replacements individually!
