Made of anodized aluminum (with a nonstick finish that's Teflon free), this line combines unbeatable performance with durability. Each piece is dishwasher-safe pieces and we love that the handles stay cool while cooking. We were blown away by the pieces’ outstanding heat distribution, quick boiling and even searing. The nonstick coating was so effective that we could scramble eggs or sauté veggies without oil or butter — they slid right off the pan!
The nonstick coating on these pots and pans makes them foolproof when it comes to turning out crepes, frittatas, and other sticky foods. We love the pop of color on the handles, which makes them pretty enough to display on your stove if you're lacking counter space. These are oven safe up to 400 degrees as well, and best of all, you can't beat the affordable price.
For beauty and durability, this All-Clad set cannot be beat. Professionals have depended on the stainless steel core for its ability to always cook evenly while handles stay cool on the stovetop. We love that they're dishwasher safe, oven-safe up to 600 degrees F, and comes with a limited lifetime warranty.
This nonstick aluminum cookware line from Anolon offers unbeatable performance for a great price. It distributed heat perfectly evenly, maintained a steady simmer, and scrambled eggs (made without oil) with ease in our testing. The silicone-covered stainless steel handles stayed cool to the touch throughout cooking, too.
The ceramic, nonstick interior and heavy-gauge, hard-anodized exterior make the Bialetti set durable and a joy in the kitchen. Glass lids let you keep an eye on what's cooking. Although this set isn't safe for induction stovetops, they work with all others, and are oven-safe up to 400 degrees.
