CAROTE 11pcs Pots and Pans Set Non Stick, Premium Cooking Sets, Kitchen Cookwares, Induction Cookware Set, Pot and Pan, Cooking Set

Stain easily (from food and heat) Look nice until you use them. They are non stick. Just not happy that they are nearily impossible to clean on the outside once any food gets on them

I acquired this set of nonstick pots/pans as my old set was getting chipped up after a year of use. I feel that the white coating on these is much more durable, almost akin to a cast iron pan and its durable exterior. I like how you have the option to assemble/tighten the various parts, as it allows for a longer longevity for the set. The wood handles do a solid job at insulating against heat, so you don't have to worry so much about burning your hand from the handle being over the flame/heat source. The only small thing I've noticed is that the bottoms do unfortunately darken/burn a bit on coil electric stoves if you have the heat up to high, but a bit of water and a sponge seems to lessen its noticeability. Overall I would recommend these to anyone looking to save space as these also come with fewer lids to clog up your storage area.

These are my first impressions. I will update this review in one year, as I do with all pots and pans, to let you all know if they hold up. I do not use the dishwasher, and I do not use metal utensils so we will see how it goes. For now, I have used the pans about 3 times so far. The quality feels good, the pans heat up fast thanks to the design on the bottom, and the material. They are non stick, and so far nothing has stuck. Only issue is, after just one cooking session, the wooden handle stained, as did the bottom. The bottom is white, so I knew right away it would discolor and stain, but I have zero issues with that. I just included it in the review, as I know some people buy pans for mostly decoration and cook once in a blue moon. The wooden handle however, was less expected. I suspect it is due to the material. Keep in mind, it is not real wood, which also likely would stain. It is some type of silicone. I think, the handle is my only complaint so far, but the pans work fine. Time will tell if they hold up. For now, I can recommend these, 11 pots for under $100 is a steal.

I notice the reviews here are actually for several different sets and colors. This review is for the white, 11 piece set of cookware. I'm very happy with the quality of this set. The handles are comfortable, the color is beautiful, and so far absolutely nothing sticks to it. I also like that the inside doesn't have rivets like my old set, because food always stuck to those. Well, I should say that absolutely nothing sticks to the inside of these, anyway. The outside doesn't stay as pretty as the inside. With my first use of the frying pan, on a glass stove, something spilled over and burned to the bottom. I ran it through the dishwasher, and then when that didn't do the job on the outside, I tried cleaning with that pink paste and a lot of elbow grease to no avail. I pretty quickly came to the realization that I don't care enough to put in the effort required to remove stains from the outside. Mine just aren't going to stay new looking on the outside, unless I find some kind of miracle cleaner, start caring more, or get a robot that loves to scrub in its spare time. I say all of that to warn you that if it bothers you, don't get the white set unless you know some ancient secret to cleaning them that I don't. I expect them to look used after I use them, so it's not a deal-breaker to me. I love the lids that fit multiple pots and pans, as it allows me to save some space. In fact, I love almost everything else about this set. The only other thing I don't like is that the handles on everything that has two handles, do not have any holes in them. This means you can't hang them up (without risking scratching the non-stick surface) like you can the ones that do have holes. For the money, I think this is a really good value and the quality is comparable with higher priced cookware. I expect it will last. I'm very happy with this set, and look forward to using it for a long time.

This review is for "CAROTE 11pcs Pots and Pans Set Non Stick, Premium Cooking Sets, Kitchen Cookwares, Induction Cookware Set, Pot and Pan, Cooking Set". Got this to match our new kitchen countertop/cabinet color combo and it was a PERFECT match! This is made of die-cast aluminum with "granite" non-stick surface. It comes with 3 lids that fits accordingly across the different pots and pans. The long handles need to be installed. There are different sized handles. Unfortunately the instruction manual is a bit lacking...doesn't tell you which handle should go to which pot or pan. Had to play guessing game. Not all handles will fit in each one, so the installation took an extra effort. But in the end when you do figure it out, the handles fit nice and snug. I don't know enough whether the non-stick material will last and for how long and whether it will contaminate our food. This is the downside on ALL make/model non-stick pots/pans.
