Customer service was excellent!
We bought this set for our daughter and granddaughter for Christmas to use in her their very first house and one pan was bent up and we contacted T-fal and Mr Rick went above and beyond to fix the issue!! We are very pleased with the original set and with customer service. I don’t do many reviews which I should bc we spend a fortune on Amazon but I needed to do this positive review right away!

Best pans I have ever owned
I bought these pans during prime deals and I absolutely love them. They are light weight but they cook evenly every time. I have not had anything stick to them as I did with my old set. Worth every penny to be able to have a great matching set!

Best bang for your buck!
This 17 piece T-Fal Titanium Techno Resist base is everything! Throw away all your old pots and pans because this set has it all. I have used half of the set already on our glass top stove and will be using one of the deep pans in the oven later today. I love how it didn’t scratch the glass top and cleanup was a breeze. I only hand wash, although it is dishwasher safe.

Absolutely Killer Set
Hands-down, the very best pot and pan set I have EVER purchased and I can be quite picky when it comes to my cookware. Heats very evenly and quickly and the surface doesn’t allow ANYTHING that I have cooked to stick. It all just comes out super easily. Mostly just rinse and wipe with soapy washcloth.

Great stuff
First of all you can’t go wrong with T Fal. They’ve been around for a minute or two. I like to show these off and the next thing you know my visitors are on Amazon looking at them.They clean up Real Easy. Like the directions say you need to let them cool before washing, and whatever is on there comes right off with just a sponge. Don’t need to use the scouring side, just the sponge side. Great cookware!

Have not had one single thing stick to these pans. Venting on lids keeps food from overflowing on the stove. Easy to clean. Things cook faster and more evenly.

Gave this for a Christmas gift and the box was a bit damaged when it was delivered had a hole in box they said the only thing wrong with it was one of the lids to the pan would not sit correctly on the pan but also said that it wasn’t a big deal other than that they were pleased with them

T-fal Ultimate Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware Set 17 Piece
We got these on a black Friday deal for 139.00 . The non-stick is amazing on these and we are super happy with this set at this price point . Of course we’ve only had these a month so time will tell like anything else but our expectations are that they will hold up better than the over priced Calaphon garbage that we previously had . For what you pay for Calaphon the non stick is sub-par at best .

Circa 1980’s
The media could not be loaded.
My mother bought the original T fal. Loved the cookware. Unfortunately non stick will peel, dangerous and unhealthy. Especially after she used it ,and is still cooking with it. The 17 pc set is quite different than the original. The sauce pans aren’t as heavy as I would like. But, the lids are amazing with the steam hole. The frying pans do have a bit of weight to them. Very happy ,since the stove is a glass flat top. Things tend to spin on these newer stoves. Haven’t used the set, yet. Hoping she takes care of these . Needless to say, so far I am impressed with the newer “hard anodized” set. We’ll have to wait and see…..

Ever since I got these two pans all my pans and pots can be retired from my kitchen. They are much better than those I purchased with much higher prices. Absolutely love!

Good pans, somewhat flimsy lids
We got these pans to replace some old beat up ceramic ones. We’re overall very happy with these pans, but the rim on a few of the lids have deformed (in less than a week). It looks like the lids fell in each other in the sink, knocking the rims somewhat flat. This doesn’t completely eliminate them from use for us, since we have compatible lids from other pots and pans, but was definitely disappointing.

Great Pots/Pans
Have had them for 3 months. Absolutely fantastic pots and pans. I cook a lot of eggs and nothing sticks. I have been hand washing them exclusively since purchase and it definitely seems to help. Put your pans in the dishwasher=messed up, warped, short living pots/pans. 100%, buy over higher priced options. Great weight, handles and lids. Very solid buy for a decent price.

Very nice set
I got the 17 piece so I would have a pot for everything especially on the holidays. This set is nice I am really enjoying it. I was told the trick was to not over heat the pans for very long. Or at least on Youtube several people showing the care of the set claims you should never overheat them. The only thing I don’t know but suspect I may end up purchasing a silicone utensil set. I refuse to purchase plastic. Right now my utensils are steel. One thing I want to point out is the deep dish fry pan. Years ago I had a cast one and someone stole it. I couldn’t believe it. I am glad to have that pan back even though it is not cast iron. I still may look for one if I ever find it I will have no need for any other pieces. Except bakeware. I am really happy that I got this set instead of the 10 piece.

Spend less time cooking!
This pot and pan set is so nice! I have never owned a “nice” set before so I don’t have much to compare it to. I do a lot of meal prepping and these pans have cut my cooking time down. The heat distribution on these pans is amazing. No more moving food around to make sure everything is cooked all the way through. They are amazing.

Ok not great
We were so excited when we got these, and we’ve been extra careful not to scratch or use metal we’ve been using silicone, and somehow they’re still a scratch in one of the frying pans when I put a fork on the pan to take it to the sink . Should not scratch so easy for the money .

I can’t recommend these highly enough. I bought them a year ago, and they still look NEW. Nonstick still works like a charm, they’re tough and work well. Great for all kinds of cooking. GET THEM, you won’t be disappointed.

Standard T-Fal but higher edge
My old T-fal needed replacing after 3 years (not bad at all.) These have a higher top edge that I find to be much better than the earlier models. Will keep buying this brand.

My first set of legit pans. I didn’t know that not all nonstick was the same. Now, I know. I know.. It’s so easy to clean. Heats great. Food doesnt burn, which is good for me because I suffer from chronic pain and need to take breaks frequently.

Great value for the quality – Use Medium heat
Pros: The cost was very affordable. And my wife and I noticed a big difference with the even heat distribution. Easy to clean and it is non stick.Cons: You have to use medium heat setting.This is my first time using the T-fal brand, so I don’t know how long they will last compared to Hex

I love these pans! Previously I fell for the copper pan advertising and was extremely disappointed. Everything got stuck to them, it was so bad my boyfriend thought I couldn’t cook eggs or really anything at all without having to spend an hour scraping them. Anyway these pans are incredible. Even heat distribution, totally nonstick, the only thing I would ask for differently would be a lid instead of the super size pan.

Initial Impression
I’m doing an initial review of this cookware set. As it’s being used, my intention is to come back to this review with updates.I ordered this set after doing a bit of ‘googling’ on what is the best cookware set for 2019 – I wanted something for our gas range. I think it’s something to take into consideration when choosing what you’re going to buy. An example – on a gas range – if the setting is high and your cookware has some sort of enamel-like finish, and the flames are coming over the sides of the pot/pan – it’s going to discolor the finish after a period of time.I looked at the top 10 bracket, the top 5 bracket, I went to reviews, Good Housekeeping, Consumer Reports, just to name two of several, and surprisingly (at least for me) T-Fal was a set that kept popping up as one of the best. I’ve always thought of T-Fal as one of those starter cookware sets that someone might purchase when they’re moving into their first apartment and starting out on their own – it is/was inexpensive – a set for a person learning to cook and therefore not requiring something more ‘higher-end.’ If you have/had those thoughts as well, you might want to set them aside, at least with this set..Upon pulling everything out of the box my first impression was they look really nice. The set is light weight – the handles are riveted, silicone encased and can withstand up to 400 degree oven temperature. The lids are heavy tempered glass, each one having a small vent hole, and the handles are also silicone encased as well. The design of the lid-handles seems to take into account the use of pot holders since there’s substantial space between the glass and the handle itself. All of the lids in my set fit nicely onto their respective pot/pan – no warpage or bent rims. The pots/pans are dishwasher safe (mine aren’t going to see the inside of a dishwasher), and this particular set you can use metal utensils (I personally ain’t-a-gonna do it). It comes with a steamer that is designed to stack on top of the large pot (not the dutch oven). When you’re done steaming, grab some pot holders and lift the insert out by it’s handles – no muss, no fuss. It’s a much better option than the collapsible steamer I currently using.It comes with instructions on how to care for your cookware. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS! Why you may ask? This set is replacing a Calphalon set, and yes Calphalon was/is rated highly as well. But why replace it? Because being the knuckle head that I am, I didn’t read the instructions. I knew Calphalon had to be hand washed (at least the set that I own) – but what I didn’t know was what high heat does to the pots. When you read the instructions for T-Fal, and because it’s aluminum, it’ll say something to the effect of using low to medium heat (because aluminum conducts heat really well). See … I didn’t know that about anodized aluminum and what I ended up doing was burning the finish off of each pot and skillet bottom of my Calphalon set – right down to the bare aluminum and of course this affected the non-stick surface on the inside. So please, read and follow the instructions. One other thing before I wrap this up. When I was doing my ‘research’ I came across this one video of an owner showing how an empty T-Fal pot didn’t sit level on her stove. Seems the handle was heavy enough that it caused the pot to tip. She said this was a problem – and I guess it could be if you’re in the process of putting something inside the pot in preparation of cooking. I do get that – but I placed an empty pot on the stove, centered over the burner, and it sat just fine – although I’ll say my stove grate is different than the stove in the video – it also sat level on the counter top. Perhaps this might be something to take into consideration???So initial impression is the set seems to be of good quality, looks nice, and I’m looking forward to putting this set through it’s paces.UPDATE:As of December 4, 2019 I have to say that the T-Fal set has held up extremely well – cooking with this set is a breeze. I keep the burner setting usually at med-high if I want to bring something to a boil – and it doesn’t take long for that to happen. The pots and pans conduct heat really well and there’s practically no sticking. Usually I can pretty-much rinse off any food residue left behind using just running hot water. I’m pretty good at using either wooden or silicon-type utensils when cooking, though on occasion I’ve used metal spoons to stir, and there are no marks inside any of the pots/pans. I’m not one of those cooks adept enough to shift a pan around and flip the contents briefly into the air (my cool-factor is not that high) so “skating” the bottom of a pot/pan over the cast-iron grate has not taken place, so I can’t say what would happen to this set if I were to do so. If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that more than likely there would be some marring of the bottom since cast iron probably trumps aluminum. Overall I’m very please with this purchase and the performance of this cook set.

Quality Set of Pots and Pans
I bought these for my daughter as a Christmas gift. She had this on her wish list. She did her research for things she specifically liked for pots and pans. Quality pans that do not need to have butter or grease in order to cook pancakes. Make sure to heat the pan before adding the batter. They are dishwasher safe! Those were the most important things for her as she is the mom of two young children.The pots and pans are made from quality metal. It’s a very nice-looking set. Nice and heavy but not too heavy. They have a good balance. The lids are very good also.I also bought pan protectors for them as they can nest inside on another. I didn’t want them to get scratched.

O.M.G. Best non-stick pan ever
I purchased these pans because my red-copper just weren’t cutting it any more. Also, my old non stick have had it. I cook a lot, I’ve cooked quite a few things now. Never in all these years have I truly had a really good non- stick, no burn pan ( of course you can’t cook on high heat an leave it thinking it won’t burn that never happens, I don’t care if u spend $500 for a pan) These pans are easy clean, priced well, even cooking, I can’t say enough. I’m going to buy another smaller one for eggs, omelets, etc.

Nice pots and pans, but they are too slippery on the bottom
I replaced a well known brand that lasted me 17 years. Wow… Seems crazy when you see it written down. But yeah, 17 years and the other set was beginning to warp on the bottoms of the pans and the largest pot.These look amazing and everything is great about them, except for one thing. They are very smooth on the bottom and I almost sent a pot of spaghetti sauce off the stove and onto the floor! They have ZERO stickiness to the gas range grates. I never had this problem with the other brand as their bottoms have a grooved pattern that helps them stay put.Loved the way the lids are much tighter than their earlier pots and pans. Loved the handles not getting hot. Love the heat distribution and the ease of cleaning. But the pots are just way too slippery!

A few things to be aware of
SECOND UPDATEAfter about 4 years of use I continued to be VERY hapy with these pans. 0 problems with the non stick surface. I have replaced most of these pans with Hex Clad because of the hybrid characteristics (weight + non stick) of Hex Clad. After 4 years, these T-Fal are still better non-stick than the new hex-clad but I can use Hex Clad for all stainless / most non-stick purposes.Obviously the price point on Hex Clad is entirely different, this isn’t meant to recomend Hex Clad over T-Fal, they both have their place! I still use a few of the T-Fal when I need something really really non-stick, I passed the rest of these pans to my adult children who are using them very happily. I would not hesitate to recomend these!UPDATEAfter a little less than 1 year of use the review remains largely unchanged. The only thing I would say is that the square gridles warped slightly early on. I use a gas range, and the warp is not bad enough to impact my use, but if these were used on a glass cooktop I expect that the griddles would be nearly unusable. The finish has not scratched or flaked or diminished in any way that I can perceive, I do NOT use metal utensils, and I always hand-wash. Some of the other reviews show pictures of the bottom of the pan with the finish rubbed off, I have not experienced this.I have two large T-fal frying pans I purchased from Costco, that I like very much. I had a set of Kirkland non-stick and a set of Circulon non-stick that I have had for about 12 years and 15 years respectively. I bought two of these sets to replace the two sets above. I thought that these pan sets were the same as the frying pans I bought at Costco based on the appearance in the picture. I have not rated these pans for scratch resistance because I have only had them for a few weeks. If they are as good as the T-Fal from Costco I expect they will do well, but I can’t rate them yet.About 80% of the time I use cast iron or stainless steel. The good thing about those materials are heat retention and being able to handle high heat, both are not strong suits of most non-stick. Of course you can’t use cast iron for acidic foods and stainless is tricky and you must use oil correctly to stop sticking, but both are very good for creating proper textures on food that need ‘crusts’ like steak, hash browns, grilled sandwiches, etc. Not related to this review, but if you like to cook, and haven’t already, learn to use cast iron and stainless and get good products of each (copper inside of stainless for heat distribution).I use non-stick for things where non stick is important (like eggs) or when other characteristics, like heat retention, don’t matter like Kraft mac and cheese (don’t judge me), frozen corn/peas, warming bottled sauces and similar.The observations below are based on about 3 weeks of use. Some things that may appear ‘negative’ are generally assumptions on my part, and not misrepresentations in the listing.Things to know1- If you bought similar T-fal frying pans at Costco as I did, those pans are considerably heavier than the pans in this set, so heat retention in those pans are far better than in the pans in this set.2- I really like that the rivets are now teflon coated, this makes cleaning much easier. I mention the T-fal pans above that I purchased from Costco, I believe that they have the same coating, and I have had those pans for well over a year, and they clean VERY easily, better than either the Kirkland or the Circulon.3- These pans seem to distribute heat very well, but as soon as food hits the pan the, the lack of weight results in the pan cooling where the food is. This is why I rated heat distribution a 4 instead of a 5, and really is more of something to learn and understand than a negative.4- These pans seem to heat and boil water much faster than the two sets I mention above. This may be because of the heat distribution and the fact that not much energy is required to heat the pans themselves – just speculation on my part.5- Although I used Circulon for a long time, I find the ridges a negative in terms of non-stick performance anytime after the first few uses. Also, the ridges actually create inconsistent cooking in some uses, for instance, when cooking pancakes, you can actually see the ridge pattern in the pancakes instead of a consistent cook. Obviously the pans in this listing do not suffer from this as they have smooth surfaces.6- This set does not have a tall pan that I would call a ‘stock pot’. Both of the sets that I mention above had a 8 to 10 quart tall pan that I will look to replace.7- The kirkland set had metal handles, so they could be placed in the oven without worrying. Although I think that the rubber handles on this set are rated up to some temperature, I still am not comfortable placing these in the oven. I knew I would loose this when I purchased these, and since I rarely use non-stick in the over, I wasn’t too worried about it, but somethign to consider.8- If you hang your pans from a pot-rack, like I do, the handles are large, and the pans don’t fit inside of each other really well. With the kirkland I could easily share one hook for two pans because the size and shape of the handles allowed for them to ‘nest’ on one hook, and the size of the pans, and length of the handles, allowed them to fit into each other well when hanging. Don’t expect to be able to do this with these pans.9- This set does not have a large frying pan. I knew this and it didn’t bother me because of the previously mentioned pans from Costco, but be aware that the size of the pans in this set are all relatively small.10- I would prefer that these pans be slightly heavier, but that is probably a subjective desire based on my experience and once I learn to account for the lack of weight in my cooking practices it will probably be OK.Overall I am mostly happy with the pans, and for what they are, they are very effective. I would probably not be happy with them as my only set of cookware because of the inability to put them in the oven and they characteristics I described based on the pan weight. If those things don’t matter to you, I would rate these a 5.

T-fal Ultimate Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware Set – A Culinary Delight!
I recently purchased the T-fal Ultimate Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware Set, and I must say it has exceeded all my expectations. As an avid home cook, I have used my fair share of cookware, but this set truly stands out in terms of quality, performance, and durability.First and foremost, the nonstick coating on these pans is outstanding. Whether I’m cooking eggs, pancakes, or sautéing delicate ingredients, everything glides effortlessly across the surface without any sticking or burning. The nonstick coating is also exceptionally durable and shows no signs of wear even after extensive use.The hard-anodized aluminum construction of these pans is another winning feature. Not only does it ensure fast and even heat distribution, but it also makes the cookware incredibly sturdy and resistant to warping. I appreciate how quickly the pans heat up, allowing me to save valuable time in the kitchen.The ergonomic design of the handles deserves a special mention. They are comfortable to hold and remain cool to the touch, even when cooking on high heat. This feature is a game-changer, as I no longer need to worry about using oven mitts or pot holders while preparing meals.One aspect that sets this cookware set apart is its versatility. The set includes a variety of pots, pans, and lids, catering to all my cooking needs. Whether I’m boiling pasta, simmering sauces, or searing meats, there’s a perfectly sized pan for every task. The addition of vented glass lids is a thoughtful touch, allowing me to monitor the cooking process without losing heat or moisture.Cleaning up after cooking has never been easier. The nonstick surface ensures that food residues slide right off with minimal effort. I have found that a gentle hand wash with warm, soapy water is sufficient to keep the pans looking brand new.Furthermore, I appreciate that T-fal has designed this cookware set with safety in mind. The cookware is free from harmful chemicals like PFOA, lead, and cadmium, providing me with peace of mind as I prepare meals for my family.In conclusion, the T-fal Ultimate Hard Anodized Nonstick Cookware Set is a culinary delight that has revolutionized my cooking experience.

Best pot set ever!!
These pots are amazing!! They are definitely nonstick and even though they are the hard anodized pots they are not heavy whatsoever. I had some from Costco and they were the heaviest things ever. I like that these are dishwasher safe and nothing has stuck to them yet. Food slides right out!! You won’t be disappointed with this set. Completely satisfied customer!!

Superb Cookware
I wanted to wait at least a couple after my initial purchase to write a review, since writing an immediate review offers little information as to the durability of the product. I purchased my first T-Fal set of pots and pans nearly 45 years ago, and never regretted the decision, just as I’ve not regretted this one. After several months of use, the pots and pans looks as they did when I purchased them, no discoloring, and no scratches. The only thing that is slightly affected is the bottom of the pans where they are frequently slid back and forth over the stove top burner. Of course, this poses no problem for me, as I’m not concerned about the bottom, and as stated, it’s only slightly affected.One of the things that I really like about this set is the “weight” of them. They aren’t lightest pots and pans, neither are they the heaviest. They are in fact, about medium weight and thickness. I suppose you could say they are in the “Goldie Locks” zone, in other words, the weight and thickness are “just right.”As I am not always careful about storing my pots and pans, I decided with this set to purchase some pot and pans dividers/protectors which can be cut to size and placed on the inside surface of the pans to keep them from coming into contact with the other pots and pans, thus preventing accidental scratching, especially, if one tends to “toss” them into the cupboard, instead of gently laying them down.Everything about this T-Fal set is by and large “pros.” However, there is one slight “con,” and that is because of the way the bottom of the set is designed for optimum heat distribution, they are prone to sliding around on the stove top. This problem is solved easily enough by just holding onto the handle when stirring anything. It might seem like a small nuisance, but like anything, doing frequently, it will become a habit, and you will doing it without thinking about it. Actually, I would think this would be the safest way to stir things on the stove even if they didn’t tend to slide a little.With this set, I did take the time to read quite a few of the reviews, and I was impressed to say the least. One video review showed a customer who had bought this same set about five years before, as well as the same set recently. I was quite impressed with the five-year old set as it looked brand new, except with a little wear on the bottom.Oh yes, there is one more “con,” sort of, and that is there aren’t lids for every pot and pans, in fact, there about half as many lids and there are pots and pans, although, each lid fit two pots or pans. So, if it were possible, I would purchase lids for all of them, despite the fact that it really isn’t necessary seeing as most people only have four burners on their stove, and foods that had already been cooked would most likely have been placed into bowls. But, what if I didn’t want to place it in a bowl, and wanted to set the whole thing aside with the lid on it? But alas, me thinks I will survive this great disadvantage.Obviously, a person could spend a lot more money on a set of pots and pans, but for everyday cooking, I don’t think you could purchase a better set, at least, not for the money.

Amazon was great. Tfal no so much
I really like the product. I am very happy with them. However, a lid came damaged. This was obviously done in the factory as there was zero damage to the box. Amazon said to contact tfal. I did. I went back and forth with customer service and tried to send pics. I am not computer savvy so was unable to convert the pic to a jpeg. Then then said I had to mail the damaged lid in to have it replaced. This lid goes on a 11×7 pan so is large and would be expensive to ship. They would not pay for that. So I would be paying for a lid twice. Just be careful and realize good product but if damaged, you don’t know how to use computers really well. You will have bad customer service.
