Aufranc 10-Piece Pots and Pans Set, Stainless Steel Cookware Set- Includes Ergonomic Handle Saucepans, Skillets, Dutch Oven, Stockpot, Steamer & More - Premium Pots and Pans for Home Chefs

I’ve had these for a couple of months now and so happy for this purchase. I’m a single person so this works great even if I have to cook a large meal to let a few days. I use wooden spoons not to scratch them. They are sturdy and things don’t burn easily. I’m not a big cook, though.

If you have issues with this set, you probably have no idea how to use stainless steel to begin with. Before buying this I read the reviews and decided to take a calculated risk, buying this set. - If you have issues with spots on the bottom of your pan, that's because you boiled hard water. Hard water is your tap water, which is full of minerals, when the water evaporates, it leaves behind that stuff. (Hot dog person) - If your lid cracked or popped, that's because you overtightened the screw while assembling the lid. Fun fact, I even dropped my lid accidentally and prayed nothing would happen to me as I was remembering that review, but it survived like a champ, unscathed. - If things stick, there are many reasons, but mainly, you don't know how to control temperature and maybe didn't use oil. Sometimes with stainless you have to deglaze, you have to watch what you're cooking like starches and whether they stick or not, etc. Anyway, bashing the negative reviews that are unrelated to the actual product itself aside. - The pans look pretty. - They're a little lighter than higher quality pans (you're paying less than 100 bucks for an entire set what do you expect). They're actually A LOT heavier than I was expecting buying them, not gonna lie. I've seen some paperweight stainless steel, this ain't it. They're actually great. - They tend to heat up quicker than my Lagostina pan. That's possibly because they're thinner, or because they're newer. Something to watch out for, a plus in my opinion, but you do have to keep an eye on it. - Ergonomically the handles might be too thin for some people, especially those with dexterity issues I don't know if you can't tell, but I'm very happy with these.

I really like this set of pots for the price! However, the two minor complaints are 1) the lids should have been solid metal like the pots as this way the lids will be much easier to clean in the future and less prone to becoming broken and 2) the chrome finish should have been on the outside of the pots and pans, not on the inside cooking surface. However, the pots and pan set are well made and very nice quality for the price. The riveted handles are very nice and rare to see at this price level of stainless steel pots.

Très satisfaite, cuisson super, ne colle pas

I've had these since Christmas (four months) and they've served my hungry family well. My only criticism about them would be the handles. I was happy to choose this design as I disliked water getting into my old handles. The trapped water would heat up on the stove and be a real danger to the user, not to mention trapped water being a breeding ground for germs. These handles solve that issue but ergonomically speaking, they hurt my hands if I need to lift a full pot or pan for any length of time. The metal bars kind of dig in to your hands in a way that feels uncomfortable after a few seconds. I have been solving this with oven mitts if I'm straining hot water etc. Otherwise, I love them and cook a lot of nice meals with this set.
