CAROTE 14 Pcs Pots and Pans Set Nonstick,Cookware Set Kitchen Cooking Set with Utensil and Pan ProtectorsRecycled Claim Standard Blended

There are a lot of positives about this set.To start, there's a wide variety of sets available, so when I was trying to decide which to get, I envisioned the pots & pans I use the most and chose one that contained only those pieces. I was tempted to get a larger set, but ultimately I'm glad I didn't because it would have been overkill. but kudos for the huge variety!!The shipping was fast and the set was packed extremely efficiently. Minimal assembly required; it's just attaching the handles to the lids and the pots/pans. A matching screwdriver was included, which made me smile. By the way, the wooden-looking handles (they aren't actual wood) have a very nice feel to them and are beautiful.The pots and pans are gorgeous. I couldn't take a photo that did them justice, so I likely won't attach one. They're somewhat speckled, but in a pleasing way, they feel amazing, have a good heft to them, and they're high-end looking. Regarding cooking in them, it's been great. I was a little concerned that the instructions said not to use more than medium or medium-high heat on them. However, our stove, which has traditional electric burners, is old, so while I started off with them at medium-high at most, having them on high heat to boil water for pasta has not harmed them. They cook very evenly, and absolutely nothing has stuck to them. The omelette I made in the small pan came out surprisingly well. (The cheap sets of pans I've always used previously do not hold a candle to this set.) I've also used the various pots to make chili, Tuna Helper, a one-pot pasta dish, to heat up canned vegetables, and make a gnocchi dish. They were great for all. The one-pot pasta dish had a bit of tomato paste in it, and it didn't stain the pan, which is nice since the pan is very light-colored.It is a bummer to have to hand-wash, as our household was used to putting our pre-soaked pots and pans in the dishwasher. However, if this is a concern for you, I have two points to make. One is that these are so non-stick that the food comes off with a soft sponge with no muscle after just a few moments. If you have let the pan soak (make sure it is completely cooled first!), the food will come off with no real scrubbing. So hand-washing the pot and lid takes literally two minutes total. Two, hand-washing these leaves a lot more room in the dishwasher for other things, which has been an unexpected bonus for us.I feel indifferent about the utensils it came with. The ladle seems oddly-shaped to me and so does the spatula, though maybe I just need to give them a chance. I already have appropriate utensils and have been using them, and they are dishwasher-safe.My last thought is it's amazing that the pan protectors were included. Even though purchasing them wouldn't be super costly, it's a relief to not have to search for and buy them.I recommend these whole-heartedly. I'm very happy I bought them!

I purchased the 14 pc set and a few other pieces. The bigger sets included pots that I'll never use so this worked out better for me. I've used several pieces multiple times this week and I'm in love. Yep! In love with pots and pans at 75. Everybody needs somebody to love. I've been able to wipe them out with a wet paper towel. No staining or burning. Other people wouldn't have all these problems if they'd read the instructions. Do not use high heat, only medium and low...DUH! Reading is fundamental. The food slides around on the surface. Amazing! They are beautiful. I live alone with a Pit Bull and he agrees with me. They arrived in perfect condition, as I expected. Someone said they're lightweight. I disagree. A year ago I bought a set of horrible ones from a different brand. I'd expected better, but after a few months , they were dented and the lids didn't fit anymore. I had been admiring these online for 6 months. I've had a horrible week this week. Finally I decided to buy these. So much better than chocolate or pizza like I would've done, when I was younger. They seem durable. Hopefully they'll improve my cooking ability. Now I have to get rid of all the bad ones I've bought in the past.

I love these pots so much. We’ve had them for several months now and they have held up so well they look brand new. They are so easy to clean and don’t stain (we use a lot of turmeric in our cooking) and they cook food easily. We cook all of our meals fresh, cooking at least twice a day and these just make cooking a breeze.I was afraid the light color (we have the white and gray pots) would look worn out quickly, especially since we make a lot of Indian cooking with spices that would normally stain. That is not the case. They look and stay perfect! Truly nonstick!The sizes the pots come in are just right…great for a typical family with a few kids but also roomy enough if you have to cook for more guests. The wooden part of the lids also do not get hot while cooking and have not chipped or swelled. We love also love the spouts built into the pots that make it a no-mess breeze for pouring out teas and sauces.I’m so happy. I love the price, the ease of use, the durability and how elegant they look. I even display them right on the table when guests come over for meal. No need for an additional serving platter. They are that beautiful.They also come with flannel coasters to help protect the pots and your counter. I haven’t found them necessary to use but they are a nice touch.I also should mention customer service. My set of pots came with two handles that did not fit two of the pans. I emailed customer service with pictures and a video and they explained to me that they were paired with the incorrect handles. They sent me two new pans of equal or better value and followed-up to make sure I was satisfied. Superb and speedy customer service.I’ve never been one to shy away from expensive cooking wear. I’ve owned Green Pans for year and was looking at Caraway for my next purchase. My husband saw these and bought them. I doubted the quality at the price point.Well, these definitely are an incredible value for the price. I would certainly repurchase but it doesn’t seem like I will have to any time soon—at least not for me because these pots look they will last a long time.They would make a fabulous housewarming gift, though!
