Tramontina Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel 8-Quart Stock Pot with Glass Lid, Induction-Ready Pasta Pot, Dishwasher-Safe, NSF-Certified, Made in Brazil

So we replaced our gas range with an induction range and we needed all new cookware. I’m the type of buyer who does my research and after comparing 6 different pot and pan sets (weight, price, reviews, pieces in set, ply) I finally settled on these, and I am very happy I did!First, they work perfectly on our induction cooktop. No issues at all. Sometimes they do make a noise (subtle clicking) when heating but this is something you get used to with induction.The pans heat quickly and evenly. No hot spots.The pans are well made with riveted metal handles so are oven safe. Nice feature when finishing something in oven. The pans clean up beautifully. Sometimes I may need to use a little Bar Keepers Friend and some elbow grease, but the results are beautiful and I much prefer this to dealing with nonstick. I also really like the glass lids—something my old set had and I wanted with my new set. The only downside (if you can call it that) is that because they are a quality weight pan, they can be heavy, especially when full. Just something to keep in mind if your hand or wrist strength is an issue. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this set and would recommend them to anyone looking for an induction ready cookware set!

In an upgrade of cookware, I purchased Tramontina 10”, Made In 10” and All-Clad 12” skillets making the most of Black Friday pricing. I purchased a Tramontina enameled Dutch Oven in the fall, and it’s a dream to use. The Tramontina skillet performs as well as the Made In and All-Clad skillets. It heats evenly, retains heat, sears proteins to an “even golden hue”, deglazes perfectly, and cleans with ease. It’s almost as heavy as the Made In which had 5 layers of cladding. The handle is the right length, easy to grip, and much better than the All-Clad handle. The sides do slope up a little gradually compared to others, as stated in the Serious Eats review, but it does not noticeably affect performance. My favorite skillet was the Made In with the Tramontina close behind. I say that with All-Clad manufactured very close to our home. The price-to-value ratio of Tramontina cookware can’t be beat. I bought the 8” skillet, because I like them so much. Remember, there’s no lid with these, like the All-Clad. I purchased a saucepan also. These are much more than budget-friendly skillets. They are for anyone looking for a high quality stainless steel clad skillet at an excellent price point. You’ll enjoy this skillet for many years.

Substantial, elegant, and fairly priced saucepan; easily the equal of pans costing twice or three times as much.

This is one hefty saucer, especially with a glass lid; thats a good thing. Feels like it'll last a lifetime. There are no burrs or rough edges; dents or any other defects. It heats evenly and quickly, for stainless steel; on 3800w induction cooktop. The inside is a little coarse, may make it harder to clean burnt on stuff until it wears a bit from use and cleaning. Exterior is bright polished but not exactly mirrored; which is ok because mirror finishes don't stay flawless for long. As others have said, lid handle can get hot so be aware. Side handle is sturdy and doesn't get too hot, and is angled up a bit. It is large enough to hold with two hands if needed.Excellent buy at $60Edit: Also bought 2qt size. Finish of the inside and outside of the 2 qt size was less polished, with obvious scratches from initial sanding; especially around where the handle is attached.Inside spotted boiling rice, leaving small dark gray stains; removable with Barkeepers Friend. I'm uncertain if thats because it wasn't polished as well as the 3 quart; or inconsistent quality of stainless steel used on the interior.

These are decent stainless steel pots and pans, they aren't non stick obviously, but with some bar keepers friend they clean up easily. They seem durable, I haven't dropped mine or anything yet, but they've survived washing, cooking, and cleaning several times with no real signs of wear.Minus 1 star because they do take awhile to heat up compared to my non-stick cookware, like for example when I'm boiling water: I definitely have to wait for a few minutes longer, but it's not a dramatically longer amount of time.
