Everything you need is in this set of three fry pans, two saucepans, a generous, five-quart Dutch oven, and a set of slotted utensils. The ceramic nonstick interior won't stain or scratch, can tolerate stovetop heat to 570°F and is oven safe to 350°F. These durable, nice looking pieces are going to last.
Each of these pots and pans is lightweight, yet balanced and durable. The silicone handles are thick and comfortable to hold. They also stay cool during cooking, along with the silicone lid handles. The lids are made of tempered glass and each piece offers tapered rims for drip-free pouring.
Scanpan's pots and pans have the best of both worlds: A brushed stainless steel exterior with a ceramic nonstick interior. Though the price is a bit higher, the performance is worth it—these will sear, brown, and deglaze with ease, and create even more flavor. The best part? The clean-up is a total breeze.
Bialetti's ceramic nonstick interior is PFOA and PTFE free, and the anodized exterior is more durable than other stainless steel pans. Stovetop and oven save up to 400°F, they cook and sear like a dream, and then they clean up easily.
These ceramic pots and pans come in five different colors that pop. The 7-piece set with lids offer functional versatility, from using the smallest pan to fry eggs with very little oil or sear steak, and the larger for a hearty braise. The lid handles feel comfortable in the hand. While the lids aren't clear, they each have small steam vents that are a good indicator of what's happening inside (high steam = rolling boil, low steam = about to boil.)
