Mueller 17-Piece Stainless Steel Pots and Pans Set, Tri-Ply Ultra-Clad Pro

I bought this set awhile ago, I wanted to really get my use in on them before leaving a review. I had gotten this after my ninja cookware started peeling and sticking. Nonstick cookware is iffy sometimes and I've always been intimidated with stainless steel simply because I was unfamiliar with out to cook with it properly! Thank goodness for food network 🤣 I chose this set because it was cheaper than my last 2 cookware sets and also because I love this brand and have never been disappointed with any of my products perchased from them so I figured I had nothing to lose. These pans fit my small living space perfectly. They're user friendly with an RV stove, size wise. I use them every single day and it feels good knowing that I'm not cooking my family's meals on toxic nonstick cookware anymore. Pros-cost, size, lightness, durability Cons-the handle does get hot, but they warn with that anyway, and the edges of the pots and pans are a little sharp in my opinion. If you're looking for a nontoxic cookware set but feel intimidated with stainless steel, this set is very affordable and user friendly. The main point of stainless steel is needing to preheat the pan and then create a nonstick surface with a little bit of oil. Once that's heated up you can flick water off of your fingers and if the water hits and scatters like little beads, it's good to go. Also, let them cool completely before washing them. I've noticed that because of this, food tends to stick and you need to use elbow grease. My tip is to soak it once it's cooled with a little bit of soap before you start your other dishes. By the time you get to the pots and pans that soak will be good to go and cleaning will be easy. Dobie sponges are user friendly as well as bamboo and ecological material sponges. (my pictures won't upload, I will try updating later.)

This is an excellent stainless steel cookware set and has pretty much everything we need for everyday cooking. With 17 pieces and so many different sizes, we can use it for everything from frying and sautéing to boiling, steaming, and preparing larger family meals. The stainless steel feels sturdy and high quality, and the cookware heats very evenly. We haven’t noticed the hot spots that can cause food to burn in certain areas. I also really like that there’s no non-stick coating to worry about scratching, peeling, or wearing away over time. The glass lids are convenient for checking food without lifting the lid, and the handles feel comfortable and secure. The whole set has a clean, professional look and feels like it was made to last. It’s a great all-in-one cookware set and has been a fantastic addition to our kitchen. Definitely five stars!

I’ve been using the Mueller Stainless Steel Cookware Set for almost a year now, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase. This set offers both reliability and affordability, making it an excellent choice for any kitchen. The stainless steel construction of the cookware provides durability and even heat distribution, ensuring that my meals are always cooked to perfection. Whether I’m sautéing vegetables or simmering sauces, I can trust that the Mueller cookware will deliver consistent results every time. One of the standout features of this set is its affordability. Despite its high-quality construction, the Mueller cookware set is priced competitively, making it accessible to a wide range of budgets. This affordability was a major factor in my decision to purchase the set, and I’ve been impressed with the value it offers. In terms of performance, the cookware heats up quickly and maintains its temperature evenly throughout cooking. The stainless steel material is also easy to clean, which is a huge plus for busy home cooks like myself. I only handwash it. Additionally, mastering the art of cooking with stainless steel pans can elevate your culinary experience even further. While stainless steel is renowned for its durability and even heating, it does require a bit of finesse to prevent food from sticking. With a bit of practice and the right techniques, such as preheating the pan properly and using enough oil or butter, you can achieve flawless results every time. Once you've mastered these skills, the Mueller Stainless Steel Cookware Set will become your go-to choice for creating delicious meals with ease. Overall, I highly recommend the Mueller Stainless Steel Cookware Set to anyone in the market for reliable and affordable cookware. With its durable construction, even heat distribution, and budget-friendly price tag, this set has exceeded my expectations and become an essential part of my kitchen arsenal.

The set is worth the price, and I like that it all nestled into each other.

If you're on the fence...just buy it. My set arrived undamaged, although the box was a bit dinged up, everything inside was flawless and missing nothing, the manufacturer really does a great job at packing so much into the box, considering how big the box is. So, before purchasing I kept wondering if a budget set really was the way to go, but since I never owned a SS pan before I figured even if it didn't work out, well it's not a significant amount of money to lose. Man, I was blown away by the beauty and craftsmanship of this set! I was also worried that the handles would be hollow and maybe not be durable (they seem solid), but they actually stay relatively cool to the touch and are comfortable when handling the set. I'm not sure about the thickness of the SS, but I'm not too sure that it's anything to be concerned with regarding this set, as it is all working so well. Every piece has a nice weight to it...not too heavy and not too light. Just some advice...if you're anything like me and watched a lot of YouTube videos on SS usage...forget all of it, for this set, anyway. The videos pretty much all will say to heat your pan(s) until you get the "mercury effect" with water. Forget that right now. The Mueller instructions say otherwise and they are correct (for this set). I followed the Mueller instructions by washing everything, then seasoning the pans with oil on low heat for 1-2 minutes, let the pans cool, then wash again and hand-dry completely. Then when you're ready to use them you add oil/fat to a COLD pan, heat for 1-2 minutes on low-med heat, then add the food. I have already cooked fried eggs, scrambled eggs, home-fried potatoes, boiled pasta, made pasta sauce. Heck, I even made a crab leg boil in the 8 qt stock pot. By following the instructions I have not been able to get anything to stick to this set. Low-medium heat and cold oil/fat are key to making this set work better than any toxic "non-stick" item on the market. I'm also still a huge fan of cast iron, I think with proper care and usage this set will also last a lifetime. Please read the included instructions, the manufacturer wants you to be pleased with your purchase and know how to successfully use it. One key thing to note here is that this set is only oven-safe to 360 degrees F without the glass lid and 250 degrees F with the glass lid, this is not an issue for me, but may be for some individual needs.

We love ours! Have had them for 3 years. Bottoms are getting a little dark, but it can wash up. Easy to use, stack, organize. Heavy duty so they can’t be pulled off the stove by kids easily. Have dropped the life several times & no breaking. If you learn how to use them, food won’t stick.

So far, I love these pots and pans. They seem to be solid, but they're not too heavy. I can lift most of them easily with one hand. The range of sizes is really nice. Great product!

I like the durability but I cannot stress enough how you MUST ‘season’ all the pans very well, several times before you have the nonstick like cook-ability just as nonstick cookware, but worth it, heat distribution is good, they are not too heavy but might be for older cooks like my mom, I like they way the keep their clean look way better than any nonstick cookware I’ve ever had, and I don’t have to worry about the nonstick stuff ever getting into my food after a couple years, happy with this purchase

Llegó a tiempo, bien empacado, excelente material, no se le pega nada. Producto recomendado.

Honestly I was excited a year and a half ago when we purchased this new set, stainless Made in Austria. Over time we've noticed all dark spots appearing on the bottom inside of a number of the pans, pots n skillets. Tried everything to remove them but can't. Best I figure is that it's bits of carbon steel which somehow makes it's way into the stainless during manufacturing process. Will not, nor can I recommend this set, expected better. Thank you

They resolved our issue quickly and fairly. Love the color!

El diseño y el acero es bueno, lastima que las paredes delgadas, por eso al cocinar tienden a cargar más el calor ahí y termina quemando el alimento an las paredes, así que es buena pero no profesional.

Excelente compra. Llegó en tiempo y muy bien empacada. Se cocina muy bien y se puede limpiar en la lavavajillas.
