NutriChef Nonstick Cookware Excilon Home Kitchen Ware Set with Saucepan, Frying Pans, Cooking Pots, Lids, Utensil PTFE/PFOA/PFOS Free, 11 Pcs, Blue

After remodeling my kitchen the next thing I needed was new cookware and other small kitchen appliances. Working full time I don't have energy or time to go out shopping for a set so I decided to look on amazon as I do for anything else!! There was so much to choose from but this one caught my eye because the look of it was unique!! On a whim I ordered it.Arrived quickly and in a professional quality box, I'm impressed since I've never heard of this brand! All pots, pans and lids were individually packaged to ensure any from breaking! I took all the pieces out and washed them. Noticed they were well made of nice materials. All the lids fit each respective pot or pan. The handles are smooth and made of heat resistant rubber, useful for gripping heavy cooked meals!The outer design of this set is unique and eye catching, it's not your typical looking cookware set. The other thing I find awesome about this is you can use this set in the oven too! I can't wait to try that out!! I don't bake too often so it will be awhile till I try it but will keep you updated.Now, time for cooking.... so far I've had the chance to cook using all the cookware included in this set. (I use a gas stove with racks) All are non stick as stated in the description. From eggs, to pasta to stir fry!! Nothing I cooked stuck to the surfaces! Although nice heavy duty utensils were included in the set I choose to use my own wooden bamboo ones and they worked well with it. I do plan to use the ones included in the near future once my bamboo ones wear down...Washing these pans was a breeze! I can rinse and throw into the dishwasher or easily rinse and wash myself without using any elbow grease. They clean well.I am both impressed and satisfied I bought a cookware set online and it turns out to be better than any Walmart or Target brand I've ever owned. The price was fairly comparable to other sets I've owned in my lifetime.This is something I'd buy as a house warming gift or as a wedding gift!

Bought this set as a house-warming gift. Beautiful set.

I really am very impressed with this cookware....**** I Honestly purchased these pans because of the standards of them being PTFE/PFOA/PFOS free. This was my first requirement for cookware... So i am not being subjected to chemicals needlessly.**** I also purchased these due to the cracking great design... The blue is fantastic and I love the ribbed exterior of the pans as well as the vented hole in each of the lids, and that of the comfortable handles.NOTES:**** It takes a while to understand how to use these pans correctly in the sense that you cant just put the burner on high and cook things... LOL... I have found that there is a science to warming up the pan and cooking with it on a steady heat so that the food does not stick to the surface unless you are searing the surface of the food item.**** I first cooked scrambled eggs (with no oil or non-stick spray) and found that egg was clinging to the side a bit but then as the egg became thoroughly cooked through it pulled away from the side of the pan naturally all on its own... ( non-stick ). These pans are non-stick but you have to use the heat appropriately.**** So, these pans are not necessarily like the old Teflon non-stick kind of pans where you just turn on the heat and move food around in them and then it falls out of the pan... that is unless you use a touch of oil or non-stick spray in them and are in a hurry to cook the food item(s) with them.**** Additionally, the pan clean up is a breeze... washes clean in seconds and the pan comes out looking like new... Pay special attention to not running the hot pan under water once you are done using it on the stove top. I always leave mine sit for 15 minutes or until after the meal before immersing it in dishwater.Well, hope this helps anyone considering these... I expect to have this set for a good long time, and I'm very happy with this purchase.Good Luck.

I have had this set for about a week and thought I would share my 'so-fars...'1 - Lovely set, part of the reason I choose this set (along with a price of under $60 with a coupon). You can see in the first photo I have cooked with that famous French brand for over 40 years (a wedding gift), and I think this set had similar lines - the slight taper of the sides. I also like the gray color and the copper interior. As we are now empty nesters I wanted something a bit easier. The Frenchies are great - but rather heavy and certainly need a lot of maintenance, especially at their age.2 - They need to cook! I cook a lot, and enjoy cooking, so this set needs to keep up with me. The second and third photos are a meal I cooked last night (have cooked every night in these pans for a week, thought this would be a good time for photos). The chicken piccata turned out perfect - nicely browned, no unexpected hot spots. I will have to get used to not using high-heat. The instructions say to avoid high heat, so I have been. In this case the pasta did take longer to cook than I am used to, but with patience came out a'la dente.3 - Clean up! This is where I expected these pans to out-perform the Frenchies, and they do. So far nothing sticks, I did an omelet earlier in the week - slid right out, Tom Kha Gai - not a speck left in the pot, same with the chicken - the last 3 photos are before/after shots. A paper towel swipe, a quick hand wash (the Frenchies have been hand washed for 40 years, I know the value of hand washing metal items you want to keep nice) and viola, like new (in the last photo there are still water drops in the pan - those aren't chips in the surface).How long will these last - who knows, certainly not 40 years like my last set - smile. But if I get a few years out of these, especially for the price I paid, I will be very happy (heck one small French frying pan costs more than this entire set). The Frenchies aren't going anywhere, but hopefully this NutriChef set will be my 'everyday' set for a few years to come.The 4-star review is only because I don't know how long these will last. As far as looks and cooking performance - at this point they get a 5-star rating.And for some 'how abouts' for NutriChef - a lid for the large skillet would be nice, along with a smaller sauce pan. Butter and fat based sauces (like my piccata sauce) don't need much room - a 1 qt sauce pan would be very welcomed.

A nice set. The food started sticking a bit after a couple of months of using but nothing critical

These pots and pans are amazing! Non stick works really well and the vibrant blue colour looks great. Affordable too. Added bonus is the ability to work on induction oven, or regular oven! Very happy with the purchase

Muy buena presentación y calidad. Ojalá sean durables como lo parece.

Increibles sartenes muy buenos al igual que las 3 ollas de tamaños muy prácticos y muy buenos acabados

Good quality pots and pans and look great
