All the pieces have a chip-resistant exterior enamel that adds a splash of color and interior enamels that can stand up to high levels of heat and evenly disperse warmth. Additionally, Le Creuset is built with an obvious traditional, rustic style that will add the perfect accent to your kitchen setup. While nonstick cookware is all about convenience, expect that any set you choose will have certain limitations. While some nonstick is technically dishwasher-friendly, we recommend you hand wash for the longevity of the product. And eventually, the surface will naturally wear and will need to be replaced, so don’t consider nonstick pans as generational investment pieces like a Le Creuset pot. On the bottom there’s a stainless-steel base that makes the cookware safe for use on an induction cooktop and you can pop a skillet in the oven up to 400 degrees F.
The cookware set comes with a classic fry pan, sauté pan, sauce pan and dutch oven. Each item has a protective non-toxic coating on the ceramic to prevent your food from sticking to the surface. Additionally, the cookware set comes with pan racks as well lid holders so you can easily store everything even if you have a smaller kitchen.
After all, nothing makes cooking and cleaning easier than a consistently slick surface that easily releases food. While this isn’t a traditional cookware set, we love that Our Place breaks the rules to create one of the most innovative pans on the market. Not only is it beautifully designed, but it saves a ton of space since it was crafted to replace your fry pan, steamer, saucepan, and other accessories that cuisinart knife clutter your pantry. The nonstick pan even has two easy water spouts that work well with your steamer basket and colander. At House Beautiful, we know your kitchen is the heart of your home, from dinner parties for guests to simple meals at your dining room table. But when you’re using random, old, or lower-quality pots and pans to get the job done, it can feel like there are too many cooks in the kitchen.
Whether you choose to order food for your guests or love to show your skills around the kitchen, you will find that this eco-friendly set will take your meal to the next level. The nonstick ceramic coating is diamond-infused for a brilliant durable performance. They are also safe to use metal utensils and in the dishwasher thanks to the scratch-resistant exteriors. In spite of its low cost, these pieces are quite handsome with a dark blue exterior enamel surface and brushed stainless steel handles. Although the handles are attached with rivets for durability, they’re coated with the nonstick finish so don’t require any extra work to keep clean.
Overall, we were really happy with the cookware set from Cuisinart’s new eco-friendly line, the Cuisinart Green Gourmet Hard Anodized 12-piece set. According to Cuisinart, their ceramic nonstick coating is PTFE and PFOA free, so it helps conserve existing oil supplies compared to petroleum-based coatings. The pans all gave even heat distribution, and the widely-spaced handle rivets made the pans easy to clean. We had no issues with the nonstick properties, and this set scored well on most of our performance tests. Abbio is a smaller brand than many of the others on this list, but that does not mean the Abbio Cookware Set is not on the same level of quality. The set comes with two sizes of nonstick skillets, a stock pot, a sauté pan, and a sauce pan.
The cooking surface of each pan is preseasoned with 100% vegetable oil and the pieces need to be hand-washed and dried to maintain the integrity of the seasoning. Reviewers say that every piece in this set is high-quality, which is no surprise coming from a legacy brand like Lodge. A versatile round pot with flat bottom, large bevel, tall, straight sides and tight-fitting lid, saucepans are ideal for cooking with liquid, simmering, boiling and making sauces. Wolf Gourmet’s 10-piece cookware set has everything you need to prepare delicious meals, and will be a trusted culinary companion for years to come.
