Disappointing
I really wanted to love this set. I just moved into a new apartment, and I needed a new set of pots really badly. I’m hyperconscious of the issues with nonstick coatings, so I would never use anything but stainless steel or cast-iron. that said, I can’t recommend these. They’re stainless steel, sure, but they’re so incredibly thin that the larger frying pan came with a big dent. I would say, “OK, yeah, they’re thin, but that just means they’re super light!” except there were a bunch of other problems. The biggest issue is with the frying pans. Although they’re both reasonable sizes from lip to lip, the amount of flat bottom is actually super small. It’s a tiny circle of flat, and then a big curve up to the lip. (I added pictures to show what I mean). That means you have barely any surface area to try to get a sear on a piece of meat of any size. I can’t imagine a piece of steak that would fit in this. Is there potentially some use for a pan this shape? yeah, probably. But this bills itself as a “basic essentials” set, and a basic essential is a frying pan with a flat bottom that you can actually fry things in. Another issue is with another part that I was super excited by and really wanted to love, which was the strainer lid. I attached it correctly, and tried to strain my pasta through it, and at first it seemed to work, although it was slow, but then of course the lid just popped right out and off and half of my pasta ended up in the sink. So, totally useless.

Fantastic set!
This is such a fantastic set! I love the size of the biggest pot, it has plenty of room for a big stew or soup. I made ramen in it and had enough for four people with leftovers and had more room to add if I wanted to. The strainer lid is honestly perfect, I don’t know how I’ve gone this long without one. The pans and pots give a great range of sizes and the bamboo utensils are a perfect addition.
