These are so lovely

I am not paid for my review, I'm actually a nobody,just an everyday housewife in West Virginia cooking for my family daily and hoping to save others some money! I've read reviews on literally 50 different cookware sets.. It's a hard decision when you only want to spend no more than $200 on a set & hopefully last 5 yrs. Pretty much every set I've looked at & read reviews etc have positives & negatives, even on the more expensive sets people still found faults and or they literally shared pics of warped,broken products at that price. With the yr 2020 being the way it has,any extra $ we can save will surely help see us through the rest of this year for emergencies but we really badly needed a new cookware set as I've not bought one in 8 yrs & had to get rid of several pans,skillets etc. I no longer have all 5 children at home,only one is left at home but I'm accustomed after nearly 25 yrs of cooking meals daily for a large family and though it's only 3 of us now we still very seldom eat out/order out. So deciding on a set that will last a few yrs with the use I put on them has been nerve racking & after 3 months of indecisiveness and lack of good saucapans I looked again 2 wks ago,told myself no matter what I had to place an order so I had my set before our youngest 13th Birthday "party" on 10/18/2020. I seen this very cheap 18 pc set, I only clicked on it out of curiosity, for $38.00 US dollars you'd assume this set would be total junk. It actually had decent reviews and I threw caution to the wind because any new set was going to better than what I've been working/cooking with.. I've been using this set 2 wks now and I'm so far very pleased & surprised on how well they are doing & how easy they have neen to clean. I especially LOVE the 11' griddle!! I've made everything from pancakes,eggs,hamburgers, steakums, pork chops on it and it's so nice!!! It wipes off very easily as well as the other pans,heck sometimes you could skip an offical wash & use a paper towel in between using for example pancakes/french toast. I've not tried the steamer basket yet but you can adjustment it on the size by several sizes. The plastic utensils have been nice & make sure to use them or other plastic or wooden utensils as not to scratch the non stick coating. I hand wash my dishes so I'm not sure as how they hold up to a dish washer. The lids fit snug and have a thick black heat resistant nob for handling. I hope to save other hard working families money on something that you need to provide for your family and not necessarily want considering the hardship Corona virus has put on everyone. Even if this cookware set doesn't last my 5 yr plan, it'll be well worth it even if for a year if I'm able to cook well & wash easily. I will update my review as needed to address durability & the durability of the non stick coating. * In some of the pictures I added I made a simple but messy sticky rice dish(boiled rice,cream of chicken,butter,S&P)***UPDATE 3 mnths LATER*** : These pots,skillets,griddle & lids have held up FANTASTIC,NONE of the non stick has peeled off etc.(I hand wash only) IF YOU USE PLASTIC OR WOODEN utensils you shouldn't scratch up the non stick surfaces. Considering I use some of them everyday,a few times a day..I cook daily so I'm very pleased as how well they cook,clean up and have held up these 3 months. You just can't beat this set for the price!! Still Happy.

I've never written a review before, but I'd be remiss if I didn't tell y'all that this is the single greatest set of pots and pans EVER. I was hit by a drunk driver, and suffer short-term memory problems, so there are times I forget that I left something on the stove when my dog has to go outside to the bathroom...as a result, I've burned more than a few things. But this set amazed me the first time it happened by how absolutely easy it was to clean! Tonight, I wish I'd thought to take a photo of it because I burned a pot of soup I was making so badly that there was a ½" of burned chicken on the bottom. I thought "I either finally killed this pan, or I've GOT to write a review about how easy it is to clean!" Luckily, it was the latter...so I had to write a review. In less than 5 minutes, it was as clean as new and back in the cupboard!And I didn't even have to scrub hard. I've had sets of non-stick pots and pans in every possible design, from highly overpriced ceramic to cheap Teflon...NOTHING is as easy to clean as these! And the price? Come on - the price is incredible for such a great set! Do yourself a favor and buy this immediately! I loved it so much, I bought a 2nd set JUST in case something happens...but in three years, I haven't had a single problem, even with my forgetful nature of leaving food cooking and forgetting it's still on the stove. (((it's so bad, my 9-year-old granddaughter told me I should get a "Smart Smoke Detector" so I could set it for real fires and NOT just for my habit of burning what I'm cooking))) She made a joke, but she wasn't wrong. hahaha My daughter just moved out to move in with her fiance, and she hated his pans, so she asked me to get her a set for Christmas...I'd already bought her all of her gifts, so I just gave her my backup set. When her fiance saw them, he asked "What's wrong with my pans?", so she told him "Burn something, then wash it, and you'll see." He's a funny guy, so he did - and he was dumbfounded by how easy these are to clean, even after deliberately burning something. If you've never listened to a review before, trust me - listen to this one. And Amazon, PLEASE don't EVER stop selling these! They are an affordable Godsend...literally the greatest set of pots and pans on the face of God's green Earth.

I'm loving the pots so far. Everything glides off of them and they are easy to clean. I've only seen where prolonged high heat could cause the red finish to warp so be careful about that, they do hold heat well. Additionally, the pots are generally smaller than other pot sets I've owned so I had to make adjustments for that.My only issue with this order was the way the seller carried out my order. The seller bought the pot set from Walmart for $39.99 then added mini face washes and creams I guess as a way to justify the $45 I paid for the order here. Now I wouldn't have minded much them trying to make a $5 profit on here. But I use a mail forwarding service so you can imagine my surprise when they said I had other items there. I had to pay for the shipping and customs of not only my pot set but also the face wash and cream. They also messed up the barn l name on the order which caused even more confusion when I went to do my pick up. I'm not sure why they didn't just use the information as stated on the order and ONLY send what I ordered. I was very annoyed.

I orginally bought this for my sister. I've bought it 2 more times since then(one for me and one for a friend) because it's really good. I'll definitely buy again in the far future. So far they've lasted great and don't need to be replaced though. Great value for what you get and cooks great. Has 0 issues with sticking and lids fit perfectly. Color is amazing and it heats perfectly.
