OXO Mira Tri-ply Stainless Steel, 10 Piece Cookware Pots and Pans Set, Skillets, Saute, Saucepans, Lids,Incl Ceramic Nonstick Frying Pan,Induction,Multi Clad,Metal Utensil Safe,Dishwasher & Oven Safe

When I was searching for a set of stainless steel cookware I wanted durability and quality and these have everything and more. I used one of the smaller pots to boil water to get a feel for my induction burner and the water boiled in less than a minute. I cooked eggs and toast in the smaller fry pan which heated extremely even and the clean up was very easy. When I see negative reviews about clean up of these pots and pans, I'm thinking people do not read the care instructions because I don't see a problem. You don't need to use very high heat on these. The pots and pans are quite sturdy and heavy which I wanted. They are nestable and save space. They have measurement markers on them and that's a nice feature. The handles are sturdy, balanced according to the pot or pan and stay cool. Each cover is glass with a stainless steel handle. The price I paid was well worth it especially with the size of the set. I would recommend these to be used on an induction cooktop as that is what I bought them for and I'm not disappointed at all. They can be used on a regular gas or electric stove as well and are dishwasher safe.

I want to start off by saying that I was not paid for this review, and I shelled out my hard earned cash to buy this stainless steel set. I did a lot of research and comparing before deciding on this set, and every time I found another set that I would like, it would have really negative reviews or things about it I did not like. In the end, I spent a little more than I had planned, but, I couldn't be happier with the set I bought!Why I chose the OXO brand:1) The aluminum core goes all the way up the sides. A lot of the other sets I was looking at, the aluminum core was only in the bottom.2) Drip free pouring.3) Measurements in the inside of the pots.4) Glass lids!!! There were some other really nice sets, but they had stainless steel lids so you could not see what was going on!5) Pot sizes. This set comes with all the standard sizes you need, and the lids are interchangeable!6) Cool touch handles.7) Great reviews on this OXO product and most other OXO products.Like I said this was the only set that I could find that had all the "perks" I was looking for and great reviews. I always like to look at the worst reviews to see what people really think of a product, and a lot of the other brands had an abundance of good reviews, but the bad ones scared me off.I wanted to wait and use the pots before giving them my rating, and at this time, I have used almost all of them. The first thing I cooked was eggs in the small skillet and I did not have any problems with sticking. I also cooked grilled cheese sandwiches, chicken breasts, hamburger, boiled noodles, and made soup in the small sauce pan. I did not have any problems with sticking at all. Note, I was careful to follow the instructions (ie..heat up the pan first and make sure the butter is hot!).Clean up: Clean up of the set has been relatively easy. The only thing I will note, is that when I cooked the chicken in one of the skillets, there remained a white residue that I could not get out with just water and Dawn. I did not find this alarming, or surprising, as when doing my research I had read that certain water can leave stains and you may need to boil vinegar or use 'Bar Keepers Friend" for tough stains. When I purchased this set I also bought the "Bar Keepers Friend" and I used it on the stains and they came right out. Also, it is very important not to use too high of heat or you many get stains. I will also suggest being very careful with the sponge you use, as if you read the small print, most are not appropriate for stainless steel. I did find one by Scotch-Brite that is safe for these pots and pans and that has really helped.Sorry for all the details, but I know when I am purchasing a big investment like this, that I want to know everything I can. I am ecstatic about this set and this is truly a well designed, customer-make-happy set of stainless steel cookware. It is gorgeous when you pull it out of the box and a true delight to cook in. Please feel free to ask any questions.

The pans and lids are heavy. I still like them very much. They are a very durable set. Best I think I have ever purchased and clean very nicely.

I did TONS of researching before buying my stainless steel cookware. So, I came from some nonstick cookware that was way past time to replace and so I went investigating ALL types of cookware. I settled on the stainless for a number of reasons, the most important being health.So, let me say that I looked at everything from $200 up to about $1,000. From Costco's offerings to Amazon, to independent labels. Things I hadn't even considered when I started looking became important along the way - things like easy-pour lips, ability to use in the oven if necessary, thick ROUND handles for comfortable use, etc. In the end, there were a couple of frontrunners - the Emeril by All-Clad and this set after hours and hours of research. What sold me on these were the additional features like the measuring lines on the inside of the pans, the overall look and design of the cookware.Before I go over the pros and cons, I want to mention for others who don't read enough reviews on stainless that there are some things you have to learn about cooking with stainless. First, you must pre-heat your pans. There are videos on Youtube - search for stainless steel mercury ball - that will teach you the principal of heating your pans properly to then add oil and prevent most sticking. Also, let your cold food warm up a touch before throwing in the pan as that also greatly reduces sticking. Another tip - these pans cook much hotter than a non-stick. So if you're used to cooking non-stick, you'll want to dial it back a touch. Cleaning - you'll hear a lot of people complain about this - and if you don't do the things mentioned above AND you don't do a few key things, then the complaints are understandable. If you have some backed in leftovers in the pan - soak it in very hot water. After the water has cooled down to warmish, dump that out so the pan is just damp, use a stainless steel cleaning pad along with barkeeper's friend, and it couldn't be easier...Onto this cookware...I LOVE IT. We've been using this set for a little over a month now.Pros:- It's beautiful - really a gorgeous set- Comfortable, large handles - this was paramount in our decision- Inside markings for measurements- Interchangeable lids so that every piece can be covered if necessary- No issue removing a lid when heated (read reviews of other cookware where it was hard/dangerous to remove lids from cookware as it would suction in place)- Nice, even heating- No metallic flavor leaching into the food- Relatively easy to clean if you follow my tips above this sectionCons:- Requires a learning curve if coming from non-stick cookware (not a con of this set, but worth mentioning)Honestly, I've not found anything about this set that I dislike at this point. It's right near the middle of the price-range of sets I looked at. I think for the features and quality, this is a fantastic buy. I think I probably would have been happy with the Emeril set as well, but the handles didn't look as comfortable and I wanted to make this a one-time purchase to last for years - so why not get exactly what you want?I highly recommend this set. If you're on the fence and are over researching - this is a great set that I can fully get behind.

I wanted to love these for year and year. I got these under 6 months ago and the one pan used everyday is now warped. We do take care of it as stainless steels should be taken care of. It's never been dropped or banged, but the bottom is no longer flat :( so disappointing since we splurged more than we wanted. had this been $200 set i wouldn't care, but it was around $500. I am not expecting it to compare to maybe a $1000 set but I did not expect the bottoms to warp, especially so fast!! Other than that though, i love the pour-friendly rims, and the fact the sides are coated too, not just the bottoms. sigh... next set i will not cheap out I guess :(

Great set, great quality. We got it for a good price, so great value for us. As or greater non-stick as most of my other non-stick cookware. Careful when putting a small amount of food to cook or sear in a much larger pan. Use the right size pan/pot when it comes to stainless steel for chicken or steak. And don't wait too long to put it under hot water, to make cleaning quicker/easier. Mine hasn't cracked yet, and I sincerely doubt it ever will, but if it ever does, I'll edit my review (if I can) to say it did. Also it's a bit heavy, which I like but other might not. Handles don't get too hot when cooking, don't need any towel or glove. Again, great quality.

I have used triple ply stainless steel for over 10 years. This is the first time when a 3ply cookware has disappointed me. The pots discolor easily and the marks don't come off. As a result even after one use the cookware looks old even though it's brand new. I have other ones that doesn't get marked at all and still looks brand new.The best thing about this set is that every single item is useful and the sizes are such that you will never need to buy any other pieces of cookware. It has every pot and pan you will ever need in the kitchen.Only time will tell if it will be durable and last.

Scratches very easily, not unlike soft coated teflon cookwareSoftest stainless steel we have every seen.Recommend using a strong commercial/restaurant cleaner cuz the regular over the counter stuff does not work well enuf.Solidly built & cooks well but over priced for what you get.

I have not use it yet. Look really sturdy
